Development on Elevate Year 4 is well under way. The first series has been approved and is being written right now!
Above is the second rendition (but still not the final) of the Year 4 map. By looking at the above map can you guess what the 7 series are? Take a look at the last map I posted (the first rendition) because 2 of the themes were guessed correctly...hmmm, I wonder which ones? Don't forget that the prize will go to whoever can guess the 7 themes correctly first, so give it a guess!









Ok I think we got the circus and pagoda down. Is the bottom center a farm? The center looks like an around the world or maybe seven wonders. Our pirate ship turned into a building :( but what kind of building? Toy makers shop? Our rocket ship city added a cartoony star and cloud. Nursery rymes?
So much fun!! I hope we find out before C3 kids, otherwise I will be begging for answers haha.

I say the top left is maybe England. Middle top is a circus theme. Top right is very metropolitan/big city. The middle looks similar to pyramids. . .possibly Egypt/Nile River (although I'm trying to figure out the tower in the middle). The bottom left resembles a creepy mansion with all the vines underneath. The bottom right is definitely an Asian theme with the bonsai trees. The middle bottom is still confusing, but I do know we're around a huge lake. We could be going fishing.
Wow! What a challenge!

Here are some guesses:
top-circus
top left-london/england
bottom left-logging or mining
center-landmarks
bottom right-asian theme (karate kid!)
top right - something to do with skyscrpaers or clouds or sky
bottom center - home on the range?

Here they go...Top left England, (I think the circus thing is the Elevate logo location) far right Bethlehem (Christmas series), Right bottom Asian/China, bottom middle Swamp or Alaskan, middle France/Paris, middle Egyptian, far left bottom Detective Mystery House..

Looks like countries of the world...London, China, Switzerland, Germany, USA, Australia, but then there's a circus, so that throws me off.

Arrgh! I do not see the pirate ship as others have seen. And I tried to make a journey to the seven continents but it wasn't working. So I will suggest from top left to bottom right: Life in England / Life in the Circus (unless it is a modern Russian Orthodox church with flags) / Life on the planet formerly known as Pluto (or Toy Land) / Life in Farmsville, USA / Something about Climbing Obstacles like Mt. Everest / Life in the Orient / Life on a foggy swamp (as suggested by Johnnie) or a ski lodge.

Ok, I’m also feeling a vibe of going to other countries. I think the circus & Asian were the correct guesses. The star to the right is peculiar. Why only one BIG star? I like Johnnie’s thought for Bethlehem and a whole series dedicated to Christmas would be awesome! I think the one at the bottom could be a log cabin by the lake – hunting or fishing? Is the next one a Swiss Alps chalet? The top left intrigues me and I want to draw blades on the tower to make it a windmill in Holland. The middle of the map looks like a cross between the Seattle space needle and the Eiffel Tower. I would love to hear more about the process Creative Pastors goes through to brain storm the ideas for each series! The synergy around the table must be awesome!

Circus and Orient are still there...
Dead center looks like around the world.
Far left looks like a Candyland theme
Upper left looks like London for sure...
Bottom looks like maybe a hunting cabin and outdoor type theme to me (
Upper right could be an observatory maybe for star gazing?

Mike, I love your artist(s). But, did you switch artist after the year two map? I like the more 'detailed style of Peak 2, over a 'painting' style. Just my 2 cents.

Here are my guesses:
1. Top Left: London (looks like Big Ben and the Tower Bridge) - Detective Theme?
2. Top Middle: Circus/Big Top Theme
3. Top Right: Space Theme?
4. Center: Around the World theme - looks like a blimp that will travel to famous places
5. Bottom Middle: The one with the shack looks like the Bayou
6. Bottom Right: Asian theme - maybe martial arts/ninja/kung fu
7. Bottom Left: Looks like some sort of factory
