The map as it appeared on Season 24, Day 28.

The Map replaced the Depth Chart during the Season 24 Earlsiesta, as a result of the collapse of the Sun(Sun) Supernova and the Commissioner's subsequent intervention. While, like on the depth chart, each team's initial position was determined by its eDensity and Spin, afterwards teams' movements across the map were controlled collaboratively by fans.

Starting on Day 53, the map began to rotate clockwise a small amount each day, such that it would be tilted 45 degrees by the end of Day 99 (resembling a Blaseball diamond).

Navigation

Each quadrant of the map corresponded to a different destination, each represented by an icon at the corners, or "End Zones". The upper left quadrant was the Vault, represented by Lōotcrates; the lower right was the Desert, represented by the Reader; the upper right was the Hall, represented by Pulsar (Pulsar); and the lower left was the Horizon, represented by Black Hole (Black Hole). Finally, a Supernova Eclipse icon was at the center of the map, the location of the Coin.

In lieu of a normal Election, fans were able to spend votes to orient their team towards one of the four End Zones, and at the end of each day each team would move in a direction based on the combined votes of its fans on that day. Teams could also donate Coins (and later Snacks) to one another as fuel, allowing them to move further each day.

When the map was revealed, the Wild and Mild Leagues were replaced on the standings page with the Levil League and the Glood League, with Vault and Horizon divisions for Levil and Hall and Desert divisions for Glood. As teams shifted to different quadrants, they would appear as part of the corresponding division. However, since the full game schedule is generated at the beginning of a season and the postseason did not occur due to later events, these changes had no mechanical effect on Season 24.

Certain events were triggered when a team "touched down" at a particular End Zone. The first time a team reached each corner other than the Horizon, the entity for that destination would speak. Additionally, teams that reached the Desert became Scattered; teams that reached Pulsar (Pulsar) after Latesiesta went Rogue; teams that reached the Vault after Day 82 were subjected to Force; and teams that were at Black Hole (Black Hole) on Day 82 became Entangled.

On Day 82, as the result of a collaborative effort between several teams, the Reader, the Commissioner, and the Monitor, the Coin was Incinerated. The event horizon of Black Hole (Black Hole) began to expand outward from its corner; without Coins, teams could now donate any remaining Snacks as fuel instead. Any teams caught within the event horizon were nullified, and most teams spent the remainder of the season attempting to escape to one of the remaining End Zones.

Black Hole (Black Hole) filled the entire map on Day 99, resulting in the nullification of Blaseball itself and the end of the Expansion Era.
