Fortnite Creative codes: the best custom maps

We have a lot of cool Fortnite Creative codes lined up for you. Not sure what we mean? Well, Lego is for the rich. When you're trying to build big, the dollar-to-brick ratio is out of this world with physical blocks, so we must turn to Fortnite to make blocky models of the Millennium Falcon for free. 

Fortnite's Creative mode isn't just some cheap Minecraft knock-off, either. With new biomes, structures, creative tools, and Fortnite island codes releasing every few days, Creative isn't just a diverse bucket of blocks—it's a block-filled sandbox with endless hours of potential fun. 

Plenty of talented creators have earned Epic's blessing to have their creations shared and played by anyone, so long as you know the Fortnite Creative code required to head to their islands. We've sifted through the growing collection of cool stuff for easy reference here, so keep tabs on this page for regular updates. Here are our current favorites.

If you're unfamiliar with how to load an island, head into Fortnite Creative, walk up to a featured rift, and hold down the 'Use' key to bring up the code menu. Pop it in, let the island load, then walk into the rift to begin.

Bikini Bottom Gun Game - 3300-7669-9591

With the Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom getting, uh, mixed reviews, why not give this new gun game map a try? Creator DumbblondTwitch did a remarkably detailed job of recreating the streets of downtown Bikini Bottom and its outlying 'burbs. You'll find the usual haunts, including Spongebob's street, Sandy's glass dome, the Krusty Krab, and even Barg'N-Mart and the Bikini Bottom prison. 

As a gun game map, it's fun to fluctuate between different modifiers, like low gravity, and bounce around the area like an angry lasso-wielding squirrel. Also, I have to mention the fact that players start out on an island above the waterline before dropping down into the water, a smart and funny reference to the show's opening.

Inception Zone Wars - 1012-0492-6062

This Inception zone wars map features a fun design to climb and grapple gun your way around, but adds a vertical zone wall that moves up and down to the mix, meaning you'll be force to think in three dimensions.

Escape Llama Labs - 8834-8848-1219

If you like Portal's stark, darkly humorous brain benders, then this puzzle map is a solid pick, forcing you to learn an increasingly long list of physics tricks to get crystal llamas from one location to another.

Galaxy Flint Wars - 6064-0690-4416

This map is filled with rockets, asteroids, and spacey buildings to shoot and swing your way around in low-gravity. The first player to 20 kills wins, but you'll have plenty of fun careening from one end of the map to the other with the flint pistol and plunger grappling gun. It's honestly a little challenging at first until you acclimate to what the creator is going for, meaning you'll fall to your death before you become a true zero-G death machine.

Trials of Zaneth - 9078-3524-9057

You wake up in a crashed plane and find yourself in a magical land of Zaneth, where a whole bunch of trials and puzzles await you as you try to restore some peace to the land. It all feels very Zelda-ish, with its reliance on acquiring magical items to help you proceed over obstacles, but it's pretty charming nonetheless.

First-Person B.R.U.T.E. Mech Brawl - 0102-4579-4625

Using some janky Creative Mode trickery, Reddit user r1ch1mpulse managed to get a POV camera from the perspective of Fortnite's bulky, heavily damaging mech. As you might imagine, this mode is more fun with four players so you can use the mech's full weapon suite, but it's cool to get a little Gundam in your Fortnite.

Time Twist - Gun Game - 5918-7034-6151

Though it isn't the first map to do the "one map, two versions" take, this map does it really smartly with warp portals you can trigger at any point. It creates some fun scenarios where you might try to dodge an enemy's fire by warping from an idyllic farm to a crumbling cluster of asteroids.

Reflection - 7586-8316-2838

M.C. Escher was an artist famous for his intricately designed woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints, most notably those crazy images of infinite staircases. Well, what if that, but with guns? This free-for-all map lets you pick your loadout, then run through a seemingly (although not literally) series of Escher staircases. It makes for some interesting gunfights when you're not quite sure which way is which.

Artistic Ruins - 7362-4871-6728

There's a lot of Fortnite creative mode users going around creating some fantastic artistic displays. No need for guns, or mechs, just simple visual beauty. Unfortunately, a lot of those don't have codes to share, but this one does! This gorgeous set of ancient ruins nestled in a waterlogged cave brings to mind the Uncharted or Tomb Raider series, but with that usual Fortnite flair.

Hide & Seek: The Invisible Man - 8112-0478-9776

I've yet to see the modern Invisible Man film, which I hear is great, but this hide and seek map definitely goes for the classic black and white horror vibe. One player turns themselves invisible and is given a harvesting tool and a revolver, while other players try to avoid them by hiding and running throughout a tower that's so oddly built it only adds to the fright.

Raccoon City PD - 9201-6033-0988

This is far from a perfect Fortnite remake of Resident Evil 2's iconic police station, but I still found myself chuckling at finding the right corners or rooms as I explored through the first level. Of course, there are a ton of zombies and puzzles to solve as you go around. Besides some kind of nonsensical checkpointing (that goes well beyond Capcom's punishing style), this one is charming.

Extreme Team Rumble Royale - 2499-5597-2662

It's not the most original map, but for a team rumble match, it doesn't have to be. This huge series of islands is absolutely littered with purple and gold tier loot, a mech, an airplane, and other shenanigans aplenty, making it conducive to the kind of crazy low-gravity map-spanning murder you'd want.

Futuristic Factory - Gun Game - 8443-3453-8209

A really strongly designed gun game map that flows so well it could almost be a skate park. Features lots of speed boost areas that dip right into ramps and paths that help make all those one-shot kills look ten times cooler.

Cybernite - 8179-7650-3099

You knew a Fortnite riff on Cyberpunk 2077 was coming, and this puzzle/item hunt map goes as far as to use that "Personal Responsibility" song from an early Cyberpunk trailer in its own trailer. You're a member of a cyber security outfit, running around a large neon city block, looking for canisters of some kind of virus. There's also a few amusing side areas that involve you "hacking" your way into mainframes and doing cyberpunk stuff.

Talladega Super Speedway (and others)

Good Fortnite race tracks are a rare treat, and creator Commander has made not one, not two, but at least nine race tracks based on famous real-world locations like Talladega, Daytona, and Dover. Each track features lots of the real landmarks and layout of the track, and as someone who was dragged to a couple of Indy 500 races as a kid, let me say that Commander has done a bang-up job. You'll race golf carts around each map and need to do a rolling pit stop every 2-3 laps, for that added realism. Now if only you could make it so the noise of every car deafened you.

• Talladega: 7342-0258-7752
• Daytona: 9386-3148-2727
• Dover: 2421-7788-4325
• Homestead Miami: 2624-1399-9816
• Phoenix: 2547-9309-3801
• Martinsville: 2921-2059-3490

Rainbow Six Siege House Map Recreation - 9315-3255-7086

The PC Gamer team absolutely loves Rainbow Six Siege, and this instantly recognizable recreation of the game's House map is more than just a pretty face. I won't say the "completely destructible" claim is totally true, though: I noticed a couple of choice walls that appeared to be locked in place, but otherwise, you can recreate a lot of your favorite breach-and-clear scenarios here. 

Even better, you've got a wide variety of operator playstyles and spawn points to choose from, with weapons ranging from auto-shotguns to mini-turrets, and more, which just adds to the longevity of this map. Just like a real match of Siege, one team defends two bomb points while the other makes their assault into the house. An absolute must-play.

Gun Game - Vacant - 3939-0057-1674

A really strong, beautifully designed gun game map that feels like it could be a level from Remedy's Control, non-euclidean architecture and everything. I also love how the surface of everything is so reflective that it's easy to stumble into one of the underground tunnels. Now if only we could levitate...

Loadout Warfare - Poseidon - 0434-3221-0261

This point capture map is surprisingly dense, with plenty of flanking routes for either team to make their assault, and even better, it all looks like the guts of a star destroyer from Star Wars. It all culminates in a plant-the-bomb run in a large open room that's sure to have players clenching their butts to defend the point from all angles. You can choose from a pretty wide variety of loadouts at the beginning of the match, allowing for different playstyles.

This ridiculous castle - 6581-3124-9021

Created by x-Labo AKA Reddit user White-Faracha, this gorgeous castle includes a stunningly symmetrical courtyard with water features, and several levels to explore. It's not reinventing a wheel or anything, it's just making it really pretty to gawk at.

Fantasy Forest: Hide and Seek - 1700-7800-1077

Another great Fortnite Creative creation from Prudiz, play hide and seek with a bunch of friends on this dense, colorful, varied map with different countdown settings. Just steer clear of the lava pools.

Project Starlight - 2987-5337-4997

A pretty good five round, 16-player battle royale map with a lot of verticality and plenty of crash pads. If you like your autumnal vibes, this has plenty of it.

The Avengers Helicarrier - 9763-8388-5095

Another creation from the criminally talented MakaMakes (who you may remember from some of our other favorite creative codes, like the Star Wars star destroyer and the full-fized airport further down), this Avengers S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier is actually a remake of an older design. Maka felt it deserved a second go, and boy did he deliver.  You've got the command room where Tony Stark infamously spotted a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative playing Galaga, Stark and Banner's science lab, and a whole bunch of jets parked on the body of the carrier. Epic, just hire this man already.

The code above is for exploration mode, but Maka made a few other cool modes for players to try.

Super Hero Arena: 8058-5258-8241
Infected: 1302-2476-1496
Hide and Seek: 8297-3692-4422

Fit Through the Wall - 2100-4853-7251

Remember those funny Japanese game shows where a person has to contort their body into a specific shape while a giant wall with an identical hole approaches them? This is pretty much that, but with Fortnite's prop transformation gun, which adds a fun twist to the whole game. Do you think that lamp will be short enough to get through, or should you go for the lightpole?

Resident Evil 7 Recreation - 6496-9997-4696

Resident Evil 7 managed to breathe new life into the once stagnant survival horror franchise, and this is a pretty good approximation of the opening chapters, with a few creative liberties. It even includes a big fat Fortnite zombie telling you "welcome to the family, son."

Silhouette Prop Hunt - 5176-4146-5073

You remember that game The Unfinished Swan? With it's beautiful mix of black and white coloring mechanics that helped reveal a world you didn't immediately know was there, it was a downright incredible experience. Now apply that to a Fortnite prop hunt, and while it may not emotionally resonate with you on the same level, it'll sure be a good time. Every prop is a black silhouette set against a white or black background (or possibly a white and black tunnel), and it gives you some great opportunities to hide from opponents using nothing more than simple eye trickery.

City MVP Zone Wars - 6045-3254-5072

This is a pretty strong zone wars map, especially if you prefer the hustle and bustle of the city versus the more usual forest and plains environments Fortnite has to offer. It all culminates in the town square under the watchful gaze of Midas. I'm a big fan of the steep slope leading down to the town square, as it reminds me of all those times I've had to hike around San Francisco just to hang out with my PC Gamer boys. 

Memory Quiz Chapter 2 - 6422-6721-7141

Another round of the always fun memory quiz mini-game is here, and this one's got quite a few genuine brain stumpers. I don't care if "stumper" isn't a word. I definitely feel dumb enough to use it after playing this.

Egg Hunt X - 2955-0145-0022

The eggs aren't the only thing being hunted...Stay sharp in this eggs-treme egg hunt by KingQuillo????: https://t.co/uu4fDAzJKV pic.twitter.com/VsIG9MKlOAApril 10, 2020

One team plays the hunters, sticking to the sidelines, and the other team tries to collect all the eggs from an enclosed park. A fun, colorful diversion if Animal Crossing's obsession with eggs annoys the hell out of you.

Gun Game: Fractured Forest - 4576-0707-8977

A fun gun game map with plenty of green and brown...and red, if you're a good enough shot. It kind of feels like they took Weeping Woods' sense of density, gentle water flows, and cozy cabins and locked it all into a tighter murder arena.

Complete Destruction Royale - 8000-8899-6833

On the battle royale map, Fortnite's level of destructibility was already commendable. Creator Prudiz here thought otherwise, so they went and assembled a street block from nothing but individual bricks, giving this free-for-all environment a level of destructibility heretofore unseen in any traditional Fortnite match. Need a door? Make one. Want some extra cover? Shoot into the ground and descend six feet below - just watch out for the dino teeth. A lot of work clearly went into making this map, and I sincerely doubt you could create an entire island with this level of destructibility without some serious hitching, making it one of the most impressive creations I've seen in some time.

Whack-a-Zombie: Arcade - 0266-6811-8054

A fun collection of mini-games in a well-designed arcade environment. You've got two forms of whack-a-mole-style competition, where players either shoot or melee zombies that shoot up from chutes. It's honestly pretty tough, so you'll probably have a good time trying to beat your friends' scores. Also, they've got pool with mini baller vehicles.

Gunswap by CCruzFight - 7974-4433-3450

A really fun custom mode where your loadout switches every 60 seconds, usually along the lines of all pistols, all rockets, all swords, etc. The video says random maps every round but so far, I've only seen the tranquil forest map and a wild west map. Still, it's ridiculous fun to call in airstrikes on a tiny arena and watch your rig struggle to keep up with all the gunfire and blast effects.

A Damn Star Destroyer - 1653-9066-2637

Another creation from MakaMakes, an absolute master of the Fortnite Creative craft. Like the title says, this is legitimately an entire Star Destroyer. It's got everything from the bridge where you'd see British character actors sneering about incoming rebel fighters, a couple of hangars full of TIE Fighters and one of those Imperial shuttles the rebellion uses to infiltrate Endor, and even a cafeteria, bathrooms, and stormtrooper quarters. Because what kind of fascist space Nazi army would set out into space without a place to eat and sleep? You really need to explore the outside of the ship to get a true sense of the scale, which you can do by just double-jumping and flying around. Look at the image above. See that little black dot near the front of the ship? That's me! Also worth noting, when you jump into the map, it will look like you're in space. The replay mode (where you can take photos) doesn't show that off, so you'll definitely be getting the full Imperial experience.

The Neighbor Remastered - 1675-1520-8935

Yes, that neighbor. For those not in the know, once upon a time, there was an indie game called Hello Neighbor that was made massively popular by YouTube horror game jockeys, where you had to infiltrate your creepy neighbor's increasingly labyrinthine house to discover his dark secrets. It was perfect for your Markipliers and Jack Septiceyes of the world. Go figure that Fortnite (with its fan base's penchant for jumping puzzles) would mash the two together. There's no actual neighbor to chase you, as far as I've seen, but there are areas that will auto-kill you if you stay in them too long.

Blissful Bunny Prop Hunt - 0766-9634-2298

A bright and colorful prop hunt with a surprisingly wide variety of things to transform into, and plenty of places to do it fairly convincingly, all while a very, very big chungus bunny looms over you. The props players have to hunt for 20 eggs around the map while the hunters try to track them down.

An Entire Dang Airport - 6037-9905-6392

MakaMakes is one of my favorite Fortnite creators. The guy clearly has a knack for laying out a believable space and filling it with enough detail that anyone can go "yup, that is exactly what that would look like in Fortnite." His latest creation, an entire airport complete with two terminals, a runway, a bunch of planes, and tacky restaurants is nothing short of stunning. Revel in the joy of not one, but two Durr Burger restaurants that will definitely charge you $15 for fries, or the interior of a plane, complete with a first class and economy section roped off by a curtain.

MakaMakes details how he made the airport in the video above, and it's genuinely cool to see someone work through the process and explain how they created something with a relatively limited set of tools. Evidently, he had to make the nose of a plane with snowballs from the snowman gallery of items. That's just genius.

The code above is for a free exploration mode with player flight enabled. Try out this other code for a humorous take on airport security: 1854-0566-2178.

10Kill Sniper - 0377-1286-7849

A smart, fun sniper map that comes with four separate modes: Sniper rifles, bows, rocket launchers, and shotguns. The pleasant tropical, whitewashed stone architecture is punctuated by a bunch of wind jump pads that can launch you vertically or horizontally across a gap. It's not quite Quake, but it's one of Fortnite's closest approximations.

Downtown Dash - 4340-7454-8075

You'd be forgiven for thinking this is some sort of Sonic the Hedgehog movie/Fortnite promotional event. In Downtown Dash, you're sprinting at extra-high speeds to collect the llama and avoid enemy fire. Creator "chasejackman" has done a  great job of placing ramps and architecture around in a way that helps keep things appropriately speedy, and nailing a mid-air killing blow on your target as they sprint around is always fun.

Autumn Zone Wars - 3781-9472-2606

A lovely, scenic autumn landscape for zone war shootouts. The typical palette of fall colors blends really well together, and I appreciate that the streams of water are more decorative, rather than forcing you to swim and expose yourself to enemy fire. Items are super-sized and easily spotted, which helps keep the focus on combat rather than searching for items.

Fortnite Outlast Recreation - 8752-7425-3922

Outlast still stands as one of this gen's best horror games, influencing a new generation of game designers and YouTubers who like to scream. Created by IFrost Origins, this map recreates apparently the entirety of Mount Massive Asylum from the original game, and for a Fortnite creation, it's a solid approximation. You'll likely find yourself remembering "oh yeah, I had to get the keycard to unlock this, to fix this, to turn this thing on" like a nightmarish Zelda game. Oh, and yes, there are invincible enemies that will chase you down, although thankfully checkpoints seem plentiful. There's even one guy who says "little pig."

Overwatch Black Forest Map - Gun Fight - 9546-5724-7030

One of Overwatch's best deathmatch maps gets a Fortnite makeover. You and friends will enter with randomized weapon loadouts and duke it out in a fairly standard Gun Fight match. I really love how well this map translates from game to game. It's got all the right details, like the aging wood of every building, the Omnic robot corpses laying around, and the way the sunlight just bounces off of everything. Perfect for some wanton murder.

The Floor is Lava - 1201-1101-4279

Your favorite childhood game, plus guns. Players all start off in a locked room, and once the timer starts, you've got about five very short seconds to start climbing before the "lava" starts rising. And it moves fast. The whole idea is to be the last one standing, so do you keep climbing or do you pause to take a pot shot at your enemy?

Temple Escape - 8870-7331-1222

It's the Temple Run format—run like crazy, and time your jumps so you don't get stuck in a pit of spikes—and it works beautifully here. Fortnite has long been known for inventive death runs, but there's something more fun about being able to go long distances, thinking you'll go just a little further on this one run, only to flub it somewhere else. I must have played this for 20 straight minutes before giving up.

Mermaids FFA Zone Wars

A lovely, scenic zone wars map that pushes players to cross treacherous stretches of water, and offers a couple of devilishly tight corners to monitor lest you get blown to bits. The whitewashed stone buildings and waterfront really make this a pleasant place to play in. Imagine Mamma Mia, but with guns.

L.O.V.3. Facility Duo Escape Map - 2136-1946-1779

Sure, maybe you've felt trapped in a relationship before, but I bet you've never been trapped in one with super speed or low gravity. This escape map, designed specifically for two players, gives one player extra speed and another player the weakened gravity, forcing the two of you to work together to solve puzzles and get the heck out. It's cheaper than couples therapy.

Counter-Strike's Dust 2 by Team Evolve

Random Teams: 9908-4675-7557
Custom Teams: 8784-9694-5171

Even if you've never played Counter-Strike, you've definitely heard of de_dust2. The most popular CS map known to man has been recreated with striking accuracy by Team Evolve. Scale is a tough thing to really nail in Fortnite, being a third-person game and all, but Evolve has really made those corners feel just as deadly as the original project. Check out their comparison video below.

Play wager S&D matches on Dust 2 using the new custom teams scrim code!Also: Here is a side by side comparison of the Map in Counter Strike and Fortnite.Custom Teams [8784-9694-5171]Random Teams [9908-4675-7557] #fortnite #CSGO pic.twitter.com/ZluXWaI786February 17, 2020

Miniature Paris - 7593-6430-3199

Created by Reddit user XWARD-GAMING, this miniature version of the city of love is a neat diversion to explore. Scale the Eiffel Tower (via portal, of course), walk along the river Seine, and even visit the Arc de triomphe. The Arc is done pretty dang well for a Fortnite creation, recreating even smaller details like the carved statues of humans on the faces of either arch.

Rainbow Six Siege Yacht Map Bomb Hunt - 2996-9373-3174

You know us. We here at PC Gamer love Rainbow Six Siege. Sometimes too much. This creative map recreates the picturesque Yacht map straight out of the game, and even better, you're tasked with disarming or defending the randomly placed bomb, and you'll get to buy weapons from vending machines with a limited pool of materials.

The 75th Hunger Games Zone Wars - 5880-5365-5857

A really nice zone wars map with random events (just like the actual books/movies), and a mad dash for the cornucopia full of weapons, this tribute to the tributes of Hunger Games feels like it could be good for spurring a few tense standoffs. I guess it only makes sense that the battle royale phenomenon was reflected in the other, admittedly just-as-popular battle royale game.

Epidemic Deathmatch -1866-9576-6645

A great deathmatch map with upper and lower levels. It honestly feels like walking down one of the snowy streets of New York from Ubisoft's The Division, minus the life-threatening disease, just bullets.

FortniteBowl - 2669-4698-3075 (alt codes in description)

A sporting piece of work from YouTuber MakaMakes. This Super Bowl stadium is the perfect fit for anyone looking to throw down for a touchdown or two. It also comes with plenty of alternate modes: 

Map code (Exploration): 2588-0476-9968
Map code (Zone Wars): 1843-2510-1807
Map code (Makas Games): 6236-6720-2528
Fortnite Bowl: 2669-4698-3075
Jurassic Run (Cross MG): 6460-7793-2408

Minas Tirith From The Lord of the Rings - 1048-3487-4391

Have you ever wanted to reenact the cavalry charge of Pelennor Fields with an ATV? Did you ever see that scene where Denethor, the dad of Boromir and Faramir, threw himself from the top of the mountain while on fire, and think "I could do that?" Now is your chance.

This recreation of the Gondor capital city, Minas Tirith, is pretty dang astounding, especially when you spawn out on the fields where the hordes of orcs prepared their siege. It even has the throne room where Pippin kickstarted his American Idol career. The only downside is that you can't lay siege to the city with a B.R.U.T.E. mech because the wooden tower it spawns in is indestructible.

Devastation by Shennuk: 1601-4126-5569

If you want a solid stress test for your mid-range PC, the bombed out hellscape that is Devastation might be it. Really, it's nothing more than a good map for free-for-all/TDM/gun game fights, but it's got...a lot going on in terms of particle physics and graphics and whatnot. Sometimes you just have to push yourself to the limit. The code up top is for free-for-all, but here are the other versions.

Gun Game: 2569-3509-2051
Team Deathmatch: 5937-1994-7160
CTF: 8674-2239-5428

Bubble Burst - 3359-2387-5824

Making use of Fortnite's new swimming and diving mechanics, this fun little map tasks you with slicing open a whole bunch of bubbles around a mostly-aquatic map. Come for the fun, stay for the sun.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's 2v2 Gunfight King Map - 9169-2204-8734

I love, love, love Modern Warfare's 2v2 Gunfight mode, and we've finally got another map that recreates one of its strongest arenas. Weapons and items are different each turn, and there's even the option to capture the center flag once the timer runs out. Even better, you're not restricted to 2v2. Toss some more friends in there to make it 3v3 or 4v4 if you like.

Metallica's Carol of the Bells Christmas Light Show - 7801-5922-7519

This is absolutely the dumb Fortnite creative mode stuff I live for. Forget zone wars, to hell with prop hunts, someone took your neighbor's gaudy Christmas light show spectacle and put it into a video game. Even better, all the choreographed lights line up pretty well with Metallica's cover of Carol of the Bells. Not a bad way to say bye to the holidays.

Lonely Fisherman's Lighthouse - 8688-9518-3797

I love it when someone takes Fortnite's creative tools and just tries to build a natural, lived-in space—sort of like if Gone Home had been built by Epic. That's (sort of) what you get with the Lonely Fisherman's Lighthouse, a small, compact space that's full of cool little details to discover. I'm not entirely sure if I "solved" what happened to the fisherman, or if there even is a mystery to solve, but I had fun tooling around with this area and I hope more like it keep getting made.

Zone Wars: Permafrost - 1356-9797-8051

A slippery sliding zone wars map that starts with a lovely tumble down a hill and over an icy lake. It's perfect for comically fast drive-by eliminations, or just accidentally tossing yourself into the storm.

Knucklepucks - 9573-4742-6618

A perfectly little fun bit of ice hocky and tag. Players try to take possession of the glowing llama, and earn points for every second they hold it. The first to 100 points wins, and it's a tight little experience that achieves exactly what it sets out to be.

KK Slider's Santa's Workshop Mini-Games - 2635-9271-6191

It's a little bit Fortnite, a little bit Mario Party. You and some friends can square off in a randomly chosen assortment of Christmas-themed mini-games. There's bumper go-karts over any icy lake, a toy-sorting game, and for some reason a game where you try to grenade bobbles and golf carts into a circle. Thankfully, it all keeps track of your score for you and crowns a winner after five rounds.

Ski Shooters - 1035-5206-8493

As a longtime, devout follower of the Church of Snowboard Kids, I'm all for an arcadey downhill shooting mini-game. Players start at the top of a mountain, starting with one weapon, and attempt to take out other players with other weapons and grenades you can snatch along the way. There's even a couple fun ramps that lead to higher vantage points, and an appropriate Christmas theme. No snowboarding dog, however.

Ski Park - 8740-3316-5899

Prefer more freeform snowboarding? Check out this surprisingly large construction, with multiple hills of various shapes and sizes. Even better, acceleration pads help get you back up to the top in no time.

FFA Morpheus Map from Unreal Tournament - 0508-8570-9807

This custom free-for-all map is a surprisingly well-done recreation of Unreal Tournament 99's Morpheus map. Creator wertandrew goes so far as to lower gravity, which makes sprinting and jumping from one platform to another and one-shotting your enemy mid-air all that much more satisfying.

Compact Combat Chapter 2 - 2436-4619-1585

Look at how cute it all is.

The Fortnite Compact Combat maps are a pretty regular tradition in the world of creative codes, and it looks like the Chapter 2 map has finally gotten its due.  Creator P_recs has managed to make a miniature version of the entire map, including all the major landmarks, like the dam and Steamy Stacks. Even better, all the loot chests you can find are miniature as well, making it a challenge on its own to find them while avoiding enemy fire.

Gunfight: Pinewood Forest - 9189-9290-1074

I'm a huge, huge fan of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's new 2v2 Gunfight mode, and it looks like someone went and Fortnite-ified one of its best maps. Originally called "Pine" in Modern Warfare, this Pinewood Forest creative map does a pretty good job at recreating the overall structure of the asymmetric map. There's two small buildings on either side to snipe at opponents from, a few shipping containers, and lots of other places to take your potshots from. Even better, each team's weapons (and one healing item) are randomly generated. A small storm also rolls in, forcing players closer towards the center after about a minute.

Patient 104 - 5553-3300-1757

It's my favorite kind of spooky Fortnite adventure: One that doesn't require stupid leaps of logic and design to finish. Creator Rynex here has done a bang up job of creating a spooky little hospital, with enough balance between puzzles, exploration, and general misadventuring. And yes, I'll admit, it got me with a jump scare, you jerk.

The Cursed Forest - 6024-5002-6192

Gotta squeeze in all the spooky maps I can before it becomes ill-fitting. The Cursed Forest is a competently designed little adventure, with romps through a forest (duh) dark tunnels, and graveyards alike. Dare I say, the lighting in Fortnite is just so dang good (especially on PC, of course) that it makes even amateur maps just a bit more terrifying.

Spencer Mansion - 6345-4201-8801

Yep, you're reading that right. Someone went and Fortnite'd the Spencer Mansion from Resident Evil. You start out in the woods and are forced to flee from a gang of Fortnite zombies, straight into the mansion itself, just like RE1 intro. It's far from a 1:1 recreation, but I found myself chuckling at how the layout reminded me of the early stages of that classic survival horror locale.

The Ark from The 100 - 0961-3332-5293

I've yet to watch The 100, but I hear good things, and this recreation of the space station that the main cast survives on looks impressive as hell. It's classified as a prop hunt, but it's just fun to look around.

Halloween Story - 9312-2909-8471

I love me some good spooky games. Silent Hill, this ain't, but if you're looking for an aesthetically well-designed challenge adventure, this one comes stuffed with enough pumpkins to to choke a llama.

Duck Hunt - 6122-8143-7360

Creator: NJ Checkmate

Everyone loves Duck Hunt, and while there isn't any dog to get revenge on, you'll certainly feel almost as satisfied shooting your friends out of the sky. One team turns themselves into rubber duckies and fly around collecting wood to drop into tree, while the other team turns them into red paste with randomized weapons. In my time with it, the controls felt really smooth, and I could see this becoming a fun diversion for a small group of friends.

Bordernite - 2731-2533-2140

Creator: Prudiz

If you missed having a Borderlands area on the map, you can still get that mayhem in creative mode. Prudiz has built a surprisingly large "RPG" experience where you go around collecting orbs, surviving hordes of zombies, and battling a boss in hell, all with Borderlands' unique aesthetic.

Bikini Bottom - 5269-3591-1191

Creator: theblackshield

This recreation of Spongebob Squarepants' hometown has surprising depth, if you'll forgive the pun. It's a sort of horde mode where Plankton has unleashed the dead on the unsuspecting populace. Honestly, it's way less frightening than that one episode where Spongebob exposed his brain, but then again, nothing is scarier than that.

The Room - 3489-2263-1152

Creator: Rynex

You've got only 35 minutes to navigate your way out of this maze of deathtraps, including a pool filled with lasers, weird math puzzles, and a bunch of other nonsense. It kind of gives me vibes similar to We Were Here, the co-op puzzler. Would definitely recommend bringing a friend or two for this one.

Super Smash Bros. Hyrule Castle - 6400-7723-2171

I was one of those high-pitched kids screaming at an N64 on Christmas, so believe me when I say that the architecture of Smash Bros' Hyrule Castle is forever etched into my brain. Evidently, Fortnite Creative map creator MrSlickWillyz was, too.

It's basically a deathmatch map built using the exact same layout as the original N64 map, but you get the plunger grappling gun, so you can get some crazy jumps, just like the original Smash. Check out that masterfully edited trailer (with plenty of nostalgia hits) to get an idea of what it looks like in motion.

Drift Away Island - 6113-4669-2051

I love the drift board in Fortnite. It's basically the easiest and most fun way of getting around that stupidly large map, and Epic was nice enough to include some trick mechanics for when you actually get some air. But there's only a few jumps worth hitting on the actual Fortnite map, so what's a player to do?

Creator Absurdite has treated us to a really well-designed skate park, absolutely choking on coins to collect, and plenty of jumps. Even better, it mostly feels like a natural skate park, where one area naturally flows into another so you can keep up your run. 

Junkyard Juke - 1113-6823-4725

Junkyard Juke is my favorite prop hunt in a long time, and not just because it was featured during the first-ever Fortnite World Championship. In its original form, multiple teams would either be props trying to sneak their way in
