The map in Escape Tsunami for Brainrots is a long, progressive track with distinct zones. Each zone has different Brainrot spawns, danger levels, and speed requirements.
Understanding the map layout is essential for efficient farming. Here’s everything you need to know about every zone.
Map Overview
The game map consists of a linear track extending from your base outward. Zones are arranged progressively, with rarity and difficulty increasing the further you travel.
[BASE] → [Common] → [Uncommon] → [Rare] → [Epic] → [Legendary] → [Mythical] → [Secret] → [Celestial]
The basic rule: further from base = better rewards but harder survival.

Gorge Strategy by Zone
What Are Gorges?
Gorges are trenches/gaps in the terrain where you can hide from tsunamis. Mastering gorge positions is essential for distant zone farming.
Gorge Density by Zone

|---|---|
| Starter | Gorge every 5-10 seconds of running |
| Normal | Gorge every 10-15 seconds |
| Sandy | Gorge every 15-20 seconds |
| Mythical | Gorge every 20-30 seconds |
| Secret | Very sparse |
| Celestial | Almost none |
Learning Gorge Positions
- Do “mapping runs” where you only look for gorges
- Note mental landmarks for each gorge
- Practice gorge-to-gorge movement
- Eventually you’ll have the entire map memorized
FAQ
What’s the best zone to farm?
Depends on your speed. Farm the highest zone you can consistently survive.
How do I know what zone I’m in?
Visual themes change (sand, snow, lava, void). You’ll learn to recognize them.
Are zone borders exact?
They’re gradual. Brainrot tiers transition over a range, not at specific points.
Can I skip zones?
Yes, but you need the speed. At speed 100, you could run through Rare/Epic to reach Mythical.
