Once participants enter the sweepstakes experience, they will be placed into an immersive map scene where a Game of Thrones: Legends character will greet them and share the first clue in their quest. Participants will then navigate across a 2D map, inspired by the Emmy® Award-winning and Golden Globe®-winning “Game of Thrones” series’ opening credits, to their desired location. Through the map experience, participants will uncover clues and transport from location to location utilizing Google’s photo-realistic 3D Tiles. Once they have arrived, they will search for the hidden dragon eggs and have the ability to discover additional in-game rewards along the way. Participants will also work collectively to unlock milestone rewards across all users as they continue their global hunt.
“At Zynga, we take pride in our company’s history of creativity and innovation and are excited to be the first gaming partner to utilize Google Maps Platform’s highly technical and beautiful 3D Tiles for this one-of-a-kind fan experience,” said Yaron Leyvand, Executive Vice President, Mobile Games, Zynga. “Our Game of Thrones: Legends players can now immerse themselves further into the Westeros universe in-game and explore the world with Google Maps, blending their worlds through this incredible global treasure hunt.”
Developed for Zynga by Modern English Digital, this initiative marks the first time a game developer is using Google’s photo-realistic 3D Tiles. 3D Tiles contain Google's 3D geospatial information allowing developers to build stunning 3D perspective views, just as they can with Google Earth. Using the 3D Titles, developers can also showcase a location for storytelling allowing the sweepstakes to merge the Game of Thrones universe with the experience’s real-world locations.

This sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administered by, or associated with, WB Games Inc.
