Boardwalk publicity blurb

Boardwalk is a community-created King of the Hill map released during the Summer 2025 Update. It is set in the Laughing Tides Amusement Park and Boardwalk, a carnival built on a beach boardwalk.

Boardwalk was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

Pictogram comment.png The following locations are described from the BLU perspective.

  • Spawn Area: the teams spawn on opposite ends of the boardwalk. Each Spawn Area has two front doors side by side and one side door to the right, as well as a Shooting Gallery: Badlands Bandito for RED and Pirate's Plunder for BLU. Players who stand on the footprints on the ground and shoot the opposite team-colored targets until all the lights in the back are lit receive a Halloween pumpkin.
  • Spawn Yard: the area directly outside the Spawn Area, with four paths to take. On the RED side is the Bottle Buster and the Gift Shop; on the BLU side is the Pumpkin Smash and the Arcade.
    • The far left path takes players to either the Battlements or the exit of the opposite team's Tunnel and Conveyors. On the RED side are a queue area at the entrance and the Hall of Mirrors and Milk Toss in the lower area; on the BLU side are some bumper cars at the entrance and the Can-Can Ka-Blam and Bananarama in the lower area.
    • The middle left path is an S-shaped corridor with an exit protected by a glass window, from where players can safely see the point's surroundings, and the shortest path to the point. On the RED side is the Robotic Sideshow, where players can hit a mechanical Merasmus head for a misfortune telling; on the BLU side are the Real Live Crocodiles.
    • The middle right path is a simple turn that leads directly to the front of the entrance to the Conveyors.
    • The far right path is a straight corridor that leads to the team's Tunnel.
  • Battlements: a small perch overseeing the entire control point area.
  • Covered Exit: the exit of the far left path is protected by a curved wooden wall, and offers quick and easy access to the other team's Tunnel and Conveyors.
  • Tunnel: a long and curved passage around the point that leads to the other team's side of the map.
  • Conveyors: each team has a building on one side of the point with an accessible second floor, which consists of two rooms with windows overseeing the point connected by a catwalk over two conveyors that toss any players that get on them onto the point. RED's building is the Sawmill of Love; BLU's building is the Mad Manor.
  • Control Point: the Control Point sits on a raised platform, which is a bit higher than the surrounding area. Holes on the platform drop players onto the crocodile-infested waters below the boardwalk.
  • Underpass: a passage beneath the point connecting the two sides of the map.
