# Maps (Hideout)
> Your personal corner of the 4thewords world. Build, decorate, and share your own custom space.
Maps are your personal corner of the 4thewords world. Choose a theme, place items you've earned through battles and quests, and arrange everything your way. Keep it private, open it to the community, or connect to other players' hideouts through Portals. Every week, the community votes on their favorite map in the Maps Lookbook.
## Creating and Managing Your Maps
> **Where to find it:** Left sidebar → **Hero** → **My Maps** tab [Open in 4TW ↗](https://app.4thewords.com/hero/my-maps)
1. **Open the My Maps tab.** Here you'll see all the maps you've created, your current **Map limit**, and two key buttons at the top: **Upgrade capacity** and **Create new map**.
2. **Create a new map.** Click **Create new map** (or **Create a new Map!** if your list is empty). You'll be prompted to choose a name and a template for your map.
3. **Manage existing maps.** Each map card shows options to open, rename, delete, or set as your Primary Map. Your Primary Map is your showcase. The one that appears on your profile and is shown to other players by default.
4. **Need more maps?** Your account has a map limit. Click **Upgrade capacity** to increase how many maps you can have at once. **Make it yours**
Place items, choose templates, use the HUD toolbar, and design your hideout.
