# Open World

**So, you want to create stories that a user can physically visit? 🗺️**

An open world lets you do that by connecting your stories to a specific location using the GPS location of the user.

This way, the user can walk to a location and start a story in any order they like.

**Here you can see an Open World from our startup campus, Dotslash ⬇️:**

Scan the QR code or [click here](https://links.intractive.app/3zf5hwQ) to see for yourself.

Using GPS is not necessary. The user can still click on the stories to see them from the comfort of their home in the map overview.

## Setting up the project

For the open world to work we have to change the project to a map based project.

Go to **'Project'**.

Turn on **'Map based project'** under **'Project settings'**.

## Setting up the stories

Now that our project is set up we have to connect our stories to the open world.

1. Go to **'Stories'**.
2. Select the story you want to show up on the map.
Go to **'⚙️ Settings'**.

Click the📍 icon at **'Start location'**.

5. Type in the address you want the story to begin.
6. Copy this address and paste it at **'Start address'**.

**Note:** All stories you want to show up on the map should have the same **'Start address'**. The Coordinates for the **'Start location'** can be different though.
7. Repeat these steps for all the stories you want to add to your open world.

## Adding an image to your story
