Well Dweller Map: Every Area and What Is In It
Areas at a glance

Using the map
- Turn on the minimap: Options → Gameplay → Minimap: On.
- Markers are free: drop one on every collectible or door you cannot open yet, and come back after the next ability.
- Padlock icons show that a room has a locked section; the switch that opens it is not necessarily in that room.
- Buying locations in a save tent reveals objectives or collectibles on the map for currency — useful when you are stuck.
One Steam forum thread asks for a toggle to hide the character icon and red ring that cover part of the map; the developer had not replied to it when we checked on Sep 23, 2026.

Map questions
How big is the Well Dweller map?
The developer counts 15 main biomes; with the well itself we list 16 named areas. A 100% no-commentary run took about 10 hours 19 minutes.
How do I turn on the minimap?
Pause, open the Options tab, choose Gameplay and switch Minimap to On. It shows exits for the room you're in at the bottom right.
Can I mark the map?
Yes. Open the map and use Add Marker (Y on Xbox) to pin anything you cannot reach yet. The save tents also sell locations that reveal things on your map for currency.
How do I fast travel?
Beat The Swarm in The Bog to get Tent Travel, then pick any save tent on the map screen and hold confirm.
