{{trope}}
A type of minigame within a game where you are rewarded for completing each map. Typically, the game will have a minimap that will [[Fog of War|fill in as the player explores them]]. Once the map is [[Hundred -Percent Completion|100% complete]], the player will typically receive some sort of reward, although it may only count towards their overall mapping or game completion.
 
On larger maps or games where the map only fills in small areas surrounding the player, this can quickly turn into [[Last Lousy Point]] for each and every map, especially if the visual representation for the explored area is none too precise.

* Similar to ''[[Skies of Arcadia (Video Game)|Skies of Arcadia]]'', ''[[Xenoblade]]'' rewards the player with an EXP bonus every time he or she discovers an unusual or out of the way location on the world map, which also serve as landmarks you can [[Warp Whistle|quickly travel to]].
* ''[[Tales of Vesperia (Video Game)|Tales of Vesperia]]'' gives an Achievement for exploring the entire world map.
* This is pretty much the whole point of the [[D Si WareDSiWare]] dungeon crawler ''Picdun''. The layouts of each floor create little pixel images when they're completely mapped out, and a floor isn't considered "complete" until you've explored every space on it.
* [[Persona 2 (Video Game)|Persona 2]]: Eternal Punishment has a sidequest involving this given out by a rich sheik: completing each map he gives you nets you a lot of rare cards, which are used to summon Personas and teach them skills.
* ''[[Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XIII-2]]'' was a [[Sidequest]] for getting 100% completion on most of the game's maps. This can only be accomplished by visiting the same location across multiple times, including a level with constantly-spawning, unavoidable enemies.
