Scratch-Off World Map by Global Zoom Review

Finding the Right Black and Gold Scratch Map

With many scratch maps on the market, you have a lot of choices when it comes to finding a scratch map that will fit your style and existing decor. Like myself, many people love the look of black and gold map. Black and gold maps look clean, classy, and stylish. This color scheme matches well with neutral colors and modern decor. I have recently had a chance to get a close look at the Global Zoom’s (Black and Gold) Journey Map and here is what I have found.

  The Global Zoom Journey Map has a sharp contrast of shiny black oceans and gold landmasses. The labeling of the oceans and other accents are a shade of gray. This design touch has an effect of making the map feel less cluttered without sacrificing important details.
I love the black and gold color scheme. So does Global Zoom deliver? The answer is an absolute YES!

What is Included With My Scratch Map?

Also included with the Journey Map are a scratching tool, soft cleaning cloth, and a protective tube. The scratching tool shares a shape of a guitar pick, but it is not. The scratching tool is much thicker and has all the right curves and grooves to provide the user with a comfortable and firm grip. Scratch Map Tool The heavy 250gsm laminated glossy paper is sturdy and durable. The heavy paper is essential for two reasons.
  1. The weight and gloss of the paper will help to ensure that when you scratch off the foil the map underneath doesn’t get damaged.
  2. Secondly, the weight of the paper allows the map to hold its shape and not sag or wrinkle.
