About

Two free browser games set on real university campuses, made by Looplab Games.

Almost everyone has a complicated relationship with their campus: the building you got lost in during your first week, the library you lived in during finals, the lecture hall where a class went badly. Campus Crusher lets you find that campus and flatten it, harmlessly. Campus Walk is the opposite mood: the same campus at eye level, to wander, skate across and revisit.

The games cover 2,239 campuses in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Mexico, and 158,201 buildings, of which 89,037 carry their real names. Nothing has to be installed and there is no account to create.

Who makes this

Looplab Games is a one-person indie project. The games are updated regularly, and many fixes start as a note from a player: a building in the wrong place, a stadium that's too small, a campus that's missing. Each game has a Report button for exactly that, and you can also write in.

Where the map comes from

Building shapes, heights and names come from OpenStreetMap, the free map of the world maintained by volunteers. That is why some campuses are mapped in great detail and others are sparse. How it's made explains the process, and this guide shows how to improve your own campus's map, which helps everyone who uses OpenStreetMap and not only these games.

What this is not

These are unofficial fan games. They are not affiliated with or endorsed by any school, and they use no logos, mascots or emblems. The destruction is cartoonish and fictional, and it isn't a statement about any school or the people there. The maps are not a navigation aid: buildings may be missing or out of date, and many heights are estimates, so check with your school for anything that matters.

The idea of smashing your own campus was inspired by the Korean game SMASH 대학교. Campus Crusher and Campus Walk are separate projects.

How it stays free

The site is funded by advertising on the school list and by Buy Me a Coffee supporters. There are no ads while you're playing. The privacy policy explains what that means for your data.
