# Create your map
## Tools you will need
In order to build your own map for WorkAdventure, you need:
* the [Tiled editor](https://www.mapeditor.org/) software
* "tiles" (i.e. images) to create your map
* a web-server to serve your map
WorkAdventure comes with a "map starter kit" that we recommend using to start designing your map quickly. It contains **a good default tileset** for building an office and it proposes to **use Github static pages as a web-server** which is both free and performant. It also comes with a local webserver for testing purpose and with Typescript support (if you are looking to use the [map scripting API]({{url('/map-building/scripting')}}).

If you are looking to host your maps on your own webserver, be sure to read the [Self-hosting your map](hosting.md) guide.
