Top 10 Best Gorilla Tag Custom Maps to Play Right Now (Ranked)

Why Custom Maps Are the Best Part of Gorilla Tag

While official default maps like Forest, Canyons, Caves, and Mountains are iconic, veteran players eventually master every wall-bounce and branch route. That is where custom community maps come in.

Using Monke Map Loader, players can step through the portal inside the treehouse and teleport into entirely new 3D worlds created in Blender and Unity.

Here are the Top 10 custom maps currently active in the community, ranked by layout design, multiplayer fun, texture quality, and parkour flow.

1. Bikini Bottom (The SpongeBob Map)

• Category: Exploration & Roleplay
• Download: Available in the Maps catalog (bikini-bottom-map-download)
• Highlights: A stunningly accurate recreation of SpongeBob’s neighborhood. Explore inside SpongeBob’s pineapple, Squidward’s tiki head, and Patrick’s rock. You can branch across jellyfish fields, visit the Krusty Krab, and explore the Chum Bucket. It remains the #1 most downloaded social map for private lobbies.

2. Only Up! (Monke Edition)

• Category: Extreme Vertical Parkour
• Download: Available in the Maps catalog (only-up274)
