Game fans (and trolls) are racing asking for pixels in Wplace
Blog Andrew Joseph 12 Aug , 2025 0

I'm now looking at the map of my city, Kansas City, and wondering what I should do this weekend. Should I go downtown and stomp on the huge purple Zoroark? If I want to see Superman in the southern suburbs, with red eyes glowing, I first have to pass Ralsei Deltarune sitting on the highway, pumping huge blunt objects. I could visit the North, but there was a huge United Airlines plane across the Missouri River, which could have a little messed up transportation. Hmm. Options, options.
If you don't know, it might sound like nonsense wplacea pleasant new time wasted in the form of a world map, where users can draw individual pixels in their own chosen colors, every 30 seconds. If it sounds familiar, you might think of one of its main inspirations: /r/place, a Reddit game with a blank canvas that lets users place pixels one pixel at a time. Although /r/place closed a few years ago, Wplace has quickly gained rapid growth over the past few days until you live anywhere or where you are, you can find detailed collaborative drawings, stupid graffiti, internal jokes, and spreading the entire map all over the map. And unshakable, many graffiti are game references.
Like most people, I first checked my city and then explored Wplace more extensively. Kansas City is indeed covered by game characters. At first glance, I can see several Pokemons, World of Rain, Triangle Stars, Onis, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Mario, Earth, among us, Angry Birds, and more, and can be found in the roads and rivers of the city. There are many other pop culture icons like SpongeBob and various Transformers, all over the political message, sports team logos, various flags, location-specific graffiti and other random graffiti. Some people just wrote their names.
But KC is far from the most interesting city on Wplace. There is a special screenshot in Baltimore that spreads the virus, unfortunately it's a little too bad here (share here)You can click here to viewif you want! ) But other funny stupidity is more innocent:

The Undertale and Deltarune fan base seems to like Wplace in particular, as I've seen almost every position with a large number of characters in both games.

Fan favorite character Spamton is so common that people complain that seeing a Spamton near your house isn't even exciting because he's near everyone's house.
I play around Wplace, and Spamton is there no matter where you go in the world, no matter what the culture is.

But other fan groups are joining. For example, the snowstorm is in Irving's office, California covered with the giant hero of the storm logo, and there are various other Wow Property Art doodles nearby:
In Dragon Age Community, fans have been less motivated recently. After today's news, we Probably never get Dragon Age: Origins Remasteredsome fans painted…the message of protest on Kirkwall? Love in the general dragon era?
This is what Kirkwall (Orkney) looks like in Wplace. I love the Dragon Teng Century community. pic.twitter.com/x2iavmzvgo

I'm sure I expect more silk bullshit in Adelaide, South Australia, where the Cherries are located, but there's a cavalier wearing a top hat and a lot of information written around the city that illustrates the changes in “Silk Tomorrow”.
Half of the fun of Wplace is seeing elaborate pranks people encounter in major cities, but the other half is discovering obscure areas where almost no one attracts anything. If you explore carefully, you can find hidden drawings in the Antarctic or the middle of various oceans.
Just somewhere in the Pacific Lmao!#wplace pic.twitter.com/9x69qdcavw

If you are bored or need to kill some time at work, Wplace is a great way to do this. If the server works properly, you can even add your own art, which is questionable at any given time. Who knows, you might be able to find the lurking Spamton near your home!
