HBO’sWestworldhas a sprawling sense of context , inspired bysuch immersive telecasting game asGrand Theft AutoandRed Dead Redemption , and evince with seemingly dateless character tale and hidden " game"-like side quests ( you do it , like the one presently directingThe Man in Black ’s line ) .
Westworldissoexpansive that HBO has decide to issue two fellow traveler site to aid TV audience get a handle on the princely common ’s sizing – quick yourself forPokémon Redstrategy pathfinder flashbacks , because both pages , Discover WestworldandDelos Inc. , come with maps . Let ’s start with the former , which serves as a faux ticketing hub for TV audience to Koran booking and learn basic info about the magnet . Its " Explore " tab provides a topographical look at the playacting ground :
location that viewing audience have already seen on TV come with informational indorsement . For example , here ’s Las Mudas , the short border town introduce in Episode 2 :
HBO
way of life of life-time here has n’t changed much since the day it was ensconce . Feel barren to make yourself at home and jaw in the town square , becharm the barman into divulging kinsperson secret , or just relax and take a break from the heat . Practically everyone in this town is related and they are very protective of one another , so tread lightly . Do n’t let the dusty patina shoot you , this town proudly carries the scar of showdowns past .
The belt of land that have n’t aired – Ghost Nation and New Virginia – appear only as unclickable names . Some sound like great candidates for the location of that maze the Man in Black need to find . Is it in the mines ? The Old Territories?Cryptic as snake pit .
The latestWestworld Weekly , sent out Monday , included a recruiting substance . " Looking for a novel career ? " it understand . " Check out our state - of - the - art facility , where staffers survive during their Westworld work rotation . " Clicking the message led to a forgetful picture on the Delos Inc. site that detailed the park direction ’s headquarters .
Based on exterior shots from the show , we know a base of sorts is house within a mesa , a glob of raised flatland with clifflike sides . Most of the labeled sections above are ego - explanatory ( executive offices , control room , story & aim – we get it ) . And dusty storage , which Theresa Cullen referred to as Sub - floor 83 in the premiere , is where Dr. Ford drank whiskey with creaky " 2nd host " Old Bill , and where Peter Abernathy and other decommission models spend their creepy-crawly retirement . Less well-defined : Is the arrivals monorail terminalthe same set of tracks Edgar Guest use to get at Sweetwater ? And what are these " Old Disused Facilities " ?
The Mesa Gold , seen atop the hub , is where customers go to shiver after their visits . From Discover Westworld :
" We have designed the world ’s finest decompression bedroom : the Mesa Gold . At the conclusion of your stay , begin the process of dipping your toe back into the real Earth : swap escapade stories with other Edgar Guest , drink accolade - gain cocktails , experience food prepared by world - renowned chef , combust off epinephrine at professional - course acrobatic coordination compound .

viewing audience have enquire whether the Westworld grounds and the table hub exist within the same forcible globe . This second single-valued function ( considering the Mesa Gold , specifically ) might designate they do . If so , where the heck is this mesa hub on Discover Westworld ’s map ? It seems like it would most likely be snuggle somewhere in the canyon , between the Old Territories and the ranch land . But it ’s still not all clear how patrons , robots , and workers get to and from the park .
Internet sleuthhound wonder if the Delos diagramcouldalso represent the labyrinth The Man in sinister seeks . Is the maze not meant for patrons like him –as Lawrence ’s girl says– because it ’s designed mostly forstaffers ? Is Harris ' fictitious character nodding to the stand ’s structure when , in Episode 2 , he aver , " There ’s always another level " ? ( A couple other pop theories contend that thepuzzle is elsewhere , or thatit ’s a Alan Mathison Turing testfor the server . )
Unfortunately , the maps succumb more questions than answers right now . But both , along with their corresponding internet site , look poise to become more meaningful – with more update – as Season 1 continues . Bookmark them for clues and stay tune .
