To play a horror map in Fortnite Creative, open Play and Discover, then either search for a map by its title or island code, or browse the available categories. Check its rating and details before launching; if playing with friends, set who can join in Island Options.

Find a horror island by name or code

  1. Launch Fortnite and open Play. In Discover, scroll to Search or select the Search icon to open the search bar. The layout can change between updates. Epic’s island search instructions explain how to find an island, map, or custom match.

  2. Enter the island’s title or island code. Epic also lists a creator code or custom key as possible search terms. Use the exact title or code when you already know which map you want.

  3. Select the matching result to open its island details. Review the displayed rating, content descriptors, premise, and any player or party information before choosing to play.

    Fortnite eGift Card
    • Redeemable on accounts in the United States and in U.S. Dollars.
    • Gift card must be redeemed at EpicGames.com/redeem. This gift card WILL NOT work if redeemed directly on a console device (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, etc.)
    • If you play Fortnite experiences on a console device, you need to link your Epic Games account to your console account(s) so items purchased at Fortnite.com/item-shop appear across all of your linked accounts
    • Requires internet connection, valid Epic account and prior acceptance of the terms
    • Redemption: Online
  4. Choose Select to return to the lobby, then Play to launch the island.

For example, Epic’s listing for BACKROOMS SURVIVAL HORROR identifies it as a UEFN horror map and gives the island code 3968-9634-6688. Search by that title or code, then check the live listing and its displayed rating. This example does not guarantee that the map is featured or available in every region.

Browse for horror maps without a code

Open Discover’s search and category browser, then explore the categories and rows currently available. Their contents change, so a Horror category or a particular island may not always appear. When a map catches your eye, open its detail page to check its description and rating rather than relying on its placement in a row.

Check ratings and control who can join

Island detail pages show region-specific age ratings, content descriptors, and information about interactive elements. Read the rating and descriptors shown for your region before entering; an island’s theme alone does not establish whether it is suitable for you.

Fortnite Physical Gift Card
  • An Epic Games account is required to redeem an Epic Games Store Card code
  • If playing on a console platform (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Nintendo Switch or Mobile) you need to link your Epic Games account to that gaming platform (one time) to redeem your gift card code
  • The 16 digit code on the back of the card WILL NOT work if redeemed directly through your gaming platform (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Nintendo Switch, Mobile, etc.)
  • Note: Nintendo devices do not support Fortnite Shared Wallet, so V-Bucks purchased using your account balance will not show up on your Nintendo device. However, if you purchase items in the web Item Shop — or another platform where you play Fortnite — those items will be available in your Locker across all platforms.
  • Redemption: Online

If you are playing with others, use Island Options to choose public play or play only with members of your party. Set this before launching if you want to limit who can join.

Why a published map may not appear in Discover

Publication and featuring are different: a published island can be listed on its creator’s page and eligible for Discover without appearing in a featured row. Approved islands move into and out of Discover, according to Epic’s guidance on published islands missing from Discovery and explanation of how Discover works.

  • Search the exact island title or code instead of relying on featured placement.

  • If it still does not appear, check the spelling and code against the creator’s page or official island listing, and confirm the island is currently available.

A searchable island code can be a more dependable way to return to a known map than looking for it in a featured row.

Save a map and get help with problems

Use the heart or favorite control on an island to save it. Favorites and recently played islands are available from the Library, making it easier to find a map again.

For lost progress or technical problems with a custom map made by another creator, Epic says its general support does not handle those issues. Find the map’s creator and contact them; community forums may help if the creator does not offer support. See Epic’s Fortnite Custom Maps Support page.
