Monkeblocks

Monke Blocks is the twelfth map of Gorilla Tag, created as a replacement for the previous map, the Attichttps://gorillatag.fandom.com/wiki/Attic. It was first teased on November 1, 2024 and officially released on November 15, 2024. 
== Description ==
The name of the map is a nod to the Monke Blocks series, featuring free and paid blocks, such as the Castle Kit. There are many series of blocks, such as tree, trampoline, fan, rope, terrain, slab, etc. To expand these series, there is a paid building set within the map which features blocks in the shape of Medieval structures such as stone wall segments, stone trapdoors, GT flags and banners, lantern posts, wooden ladders, and medieval doors.
== Trivia ==
* Monkeblocks is the one of the only maps to feature purchasables through Shiny Rocks: the Castle Kit, which costs 6000 Shiny Rocks and provides a wide range of castle-themed blocks and furniture inspired by classic Medieval architecture.
* The map was teased two weeks prior to its official release with the presence of an X mark, which hinted at the arrival of the new map.
* Monkeblocks is an expanded version of the Attic, which was a temporary map released earlier in 2024 for a limited time. 
** Speaking of expanded, there are smaller claimable plots for players to build without the worry of their builds being griefed.

=== Trivia ===
* If you have a plot in the Monkeblocks map, you may notice the 3 bars next to your name on the plot. There are 3 types of blocks. When you put a type of block down, the meter for the type of block you placed, goes down. When it's entirely black, you can not place that type of block on your plot anymore and you'll have to remove some of it. 
* The area the monke blocks can be placed on was significantly expanded. 
** This is helpful for large builds.
* Builds made using the monke blocks are able to be saved and loaded. 
** There are plots for each person in the map. This is to prevent Monkes from griefing on smaller builds.
*** There are also scans which load builds for players to continue building from where they left off.
* Even though the Virtual Stump was released, Monke Blocks might have returned as people might have no computer or no experience on Unity to create maps. 
=== Issues ===
* You can escape the map by shrinking and landing on one of the walls that aren't fully filled. As of 12/13/2024, this glitch has been patched and can no longer be done. 
* Sometimes the Monke Blocks don't load or take too long to load in public rooms. Rejoining may fix this.
* Usually in public lobbies, blocks can stick to your hand, essentially replicating the old Attic platform glitch. 
* Sometimes you can't load a scan when you're in a private lobby.
