HBO’S sci-fi series Westworld features a collection of theme parks, or adult playgrounds, where visitors can pay to explore their deepest, darkest desires without the intrusion of real-world consequences. Michael Crichton introduced the concept in his 1973 film of the same name, upon which the television series is loosely based. In both versions, the parks are complex microcosms consisting of robotic hosts, guests and those working behind the scenes to keep everything running.

There were three known parks in the film, each with different theming. By the end of the second season, only three parks had been revealed to viewers of the HBO show as well. However, enterprising fans have since uncovered evidence that there are, in fact, twice as many.

The creative team behind Westworld has always taken a unique approach to marketing. In addition to more traditional methods, fans have also been fed clues through a complex chain of secret websites, posters, trailers, and more. When the Season 2 trailer was released, fans were able to follow clues to a website revealing that Delos Incorporated, the organization running and profiting from the environments, owns six total parks, which has since been accepted as canon.

Westworld: Where It All Started

Westworld Dolores Teddy

As the title park, it makes sense that Westworld was the first park introduced to viewers. Designated as Park: 1, Westworld was also the first park created by Delos Incorporated. Based on cinematic depictions of the Old West, it was the central location for much of Season 1’s action.

Westworld was also the place where protagonist hosts Dolores, Maeve, and Teddy were introduced. A notable location within Westworld was the town of Sweetwater, where guests typically embarked upon their first adventures. As some of the characters moved further and further from Sweetwater, the full breadth of Westworld was revealed.

The Raj: A Look at a World Long Gone

The Raj made a brief appearance in Season 2's third episode, "Virtù e Fortuna." Officially categorized as Park: 6, it recreated British Imperialism in Colonial India around the early 20th century.

The Raj is a layered park concept. Theming around this point in history provides sly commentary on the sorts of people able and willing to pay for park experiences. The guests inhabiting The Raj scenes are clearly privileged. The park is populated with animals such as tigers and elephants, and hunting is a favored activity for guests.

Shogun World: Where Violence and Beauty Coexist

Shogun World was teased at the end of Season 1. Then in Season 2, more information was revealed and important characters found their fates led them to the park.

Shogun World was inspired by Japan’s Edo period, with teahouses, cherry blossoms, ronin and ninja assassins all populating the park. Categorized by Delos Incorporated as Park: 2, this world was created to satisfy guests hungry for intense and violent experiences. Those who found Westworld too tame for their tastes were redirected to Shogun World.

DelosDestinations.com, an in-universe website, includes the following description of Shogun World: “A warning to those seduced by our scenic environments: you will be tested in Shogun World as you have never been before.”

Warworld: An Emerging Nightmare

The release of Westworld’s Season 3 trailer gave fans a glimpse of a new park. Warworld is Delos Incorporated’s Park: 3 and it seems to up the ante on twisted fantasies and violent experiences. Warworld was designed to reflect the occupation of Italy by Nazi Germany during World War 2.

The trailer shows Maeve in the park with Nazi flags on display behind her. Additional information at this point is only conjecture, but viewers can assume the adventures Warworld offers aren’t of the cute and cuddly variety.

What to Expect Next?

There are still two additional parks owned by Delos Incorporated that may or may not be revealed in Westworld's third season. As of now, no theming has been confirmed for either of them. Some viewers wonder if the show will follow the example set by Michael Crichton's movie and introduce two of the parks featured there, Roman World and/or Medieval World.

Fans have also theorized that a few of the teased drone scenes from the new trailer might take place in Future World, a park inspired by the movie's less popular 1976 sequel, aptly titled Futureworld. However, the show has departed from the movie in many ways, so Westworld could unfold in entirely unexpected directions, showing fans parks themed in ways they never imagined.

Created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, Westworld stars Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson, Luke Hemsworth, Simon Quarterman, Rodrigo Santoro, Aaron Paul, Vincent Cassel, Lena Waithe, Scott Mescudi, Marshawn Lynch, John Gallagher Jr., Michael Ealy and Tommy Flanagan. Season 3 premieres on March 15 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
