I work at home and have clients in several different countries. I wanted to find a map for my home office that I could use to keep track of my business without making it look like a schoolroom. This one caught my eye because it looks trendy and decorative, and it would also make it easy for me to highlight the areas that are most relevant to my business.
The map arrived quickly and it looked great! It was packaged in a sturdy cardboard tube that was sealed on both ends and could be opened and reused, like one of those cylindrical wine boxes. It looked nice enough to give as a gift (and I know a few homeschoolers who are trying to get their kids interested in geography, so I will definitely be keeping this in mind).
I had a few concerns before I ordered the map. I was worried that the paper might not be sturdy enough to withstand having the top layer scratched off, or the scratch-off coating might not leave clean, sharp edges. A wrinkled map with a top layer that kept flaking off would look awful. So the biggest question I had was whether or not it was made well using quality materials.
After trying it out, I am happy to see that it was an EXCELLENT purchase!!! The scratch-off material doesn’t flake but can be removed cleanly when you want it to. It is printed on strong paper that hasn’t wrinkled even though it is hanging on a textured wall. The colors are vibrant and eye-catching, and I learn something new every time I reveal another country.
I would definitely purchase this again, it’s a wonderful product and I am so glad I decided to get it.

Exactly as advertised. Good quality print and scratches off easily. Well protected during transit.

I had previously seen the white version of this map and thought it was a great idea, so decided to buy one as a gift for my much travelled partner. It was only when I started to search online that I discovered this deluxe version, and ordered it.
It arrived beautifully presented in a strong colourful tube (not folded as another reviewer received) rolled around tissue paper to protect the scratchable surface. It is fairly large, being about A1 sized, so make sure you have sufficient wall space for it. We put ours in a glassless frame with a hardboard back and are very happy with the appearance. This does not make it easy to scratch off areas around the perimeter, but it is worth the extra trouble. The black and gold colour scheme is very smart so it looks great and attracts attention. I am not convinced about the info graphics along the bottom of the map – they do include some fun items, but I think they detract a little from the overall look of the map. The map is printed on quite heavy duty card, so it takes a while before it stops trying to roll itself back up again. But the advantage of the heavy card is that you are not going to scratch through the printed surface beneath the gold covering.
Deciding what to scratch may lead to some indecision. Does changing planes at Shanghai airport entitled you to scratch off China? For now we have just cleared off Shanghai with the idea that we will remove the rest if we ever go outside that city/airport.
Overall I am very pleased and happy to recommend it to others

Verdict: 4 1/2 stars
POSITIVE
– It is a nice approach. I personally use it to scratch off the countries where I have lived and worked – and where I plan to live and work in the future. I don’t need to see where I was in holidays. It’s not a competion to see the whole Earth for me. But it gives me a visual feedback where I have lived and made real experiences over years and where I plan to live in the future. For my use I love it
– It looks quality. It’s in gold and black and where you scratch off in other colors
– It comes nicely packed, good for a present. I just made a present to myself 😉
– Once the country is scratched off, the country name (or state name like in the US), the captial and other big cities becomes visible. Apart from countries that are so tiny that there is no space (like the country I was born in, Switzerland, which is sooo tiny it only shows an the letter ‘S’ as country name…
NEGATIVE:
– As other reviewers remarked, it is not super easy to scratch off exactly the countries. But possible. Don’t use a coin if you want to be exact, but something better. For me a guitar plex worked well, other suggested the eraser tip of an eraser pen. But with some patience, it works nicely and gives a nice result
– Personally I would prefer if there was no additional information below the Earth map (in my case mountain peaks, largest lakes etc.). But this is personal preference
– It seems like for example in Europe all countries have the same color while scratched off. May be cheaper to produce, I would have preferred it a bit more colorful as in each country his own color.
Summary:
Nice map, cool idea. Bit difficult to scratch. I like it a lot still.

I really liked the look of this map and provided the person It was intended for loves to travel, loves maps and loves posters this made the excellent Christmas gift. The packaging looked class to start with — both the box and the tube within it look great which is a big plus. I like the colours on the map and the tube encompassing the map had a beautiful design too. The only (minor) complaint I had is there was slight damage to the box it came in however given the prompt delivery especially during the Christmas period this was a minor set back .
Ultimately this map made a great gift and the person receiving it was over the moon. It’s definitely a product i’d consider purchasing for myself after seeing it.

Originalissimo, esteticamente è molto bello con la carta nera e i paesi colore oro.
Grattando non ho riscontrato problemi, è facile e non si rovina un bel niente.
Le dimensioni sono quelle in descrizione, da appendere fa la sua bella figura.
Consegna puntuale e nessun danno, si trovava nel suo tubo originale con tanto di tappo e per di più in uno scatolone ben protetta (spedizione GLS che non delude mai).
Davvero soddisfatta tanto che ho deciso di comprarne uno per il mio ragazzo, ottimo prodotto.

It was a toss up between this map and the standard Luckies of London map and I’m glad I went with this one. It’s much nicer than it looks in the photos and great quality. It very beautiful and colourful. It’s also a decent size.
As well as the countries, it has a section at the bottom where you can scratch off lakes, mountains, continents etc. that you have visited. (When you scratch off the continents, it reveals a clock)
It is quite hard to scratch off and can be a bit fiddly with the smaller countries (I managed to accidentally scratch off Luxembourg while I was doing Belgium) but with a steady hand I think it could be done very neatly. Also, it leaves a grey mark around the edges of the countries you have scratched off, but it isn’t overly noticeable thanks to the bright colours of the countries, especially from a distance.
It was nicely packed with a sheet of thin paper to stop it getting scratched. Great product.

Be careful when ordering this product. Make sure the map is dispatched from UK otherwise you can get a cheap Chinese fake instead. I have bought two of these, one from Amazon (dispatched from UK) and the other one from MicroKingdom (Dispatched from somewhere in far Asia), that allowed to actually see the MASSIVE difference in quality of both products. Needles to say that original map (dispatched from UK) is a beautiful product with lots of details and high quality material where the fake is not worth a penny. It’s an amazing gift idea and nice inspiration for further travel.
I have attached photos comparing both of the maps and the tube, the fake one is always on the left on comparison photos. I also made a close up of a part of a map to show how crappy is the fake and how nice is the original one (you can see the terrain features, states in US etc).
I did contact with the MicroKingdom asking for authenticity and was lied to: “Our products with the listing is the same, no problem. (…) We are honest seller and trying our best to provide best services to our customer”. On their defence I was provided with refund option but I couldn’t be bothered for couple quid.
