A MAP PUZZLE BY TWO SHADOWS GAMES

WHERE ARE YOU?

You're somewhere on this map. Can you work out where?

Look at the landscape, study the contour lines and figure out your position.

A Classic Locate puzzle: the landscape you see and the map you use to find your position.

Read the landscape. Find your position.

  2. The same puzzle's contour map, showing height labels and a north pointer

    02 Study the contour lines

    Match the shape of the land to the lines on the map. Close lines show steep ground; wider gaps show gentler slopes.
