How to Make a Game of Thrones Intro

Want to create a Game of Thrones intro with your own locations and names? The Kassel Labs Game of Thrones Intro Creator lets you build the iconic map sequence with custom text in minutes.

The intro that changed TV title sequences

The Game of Thrones opening title sequence — crafted by Angus Wall and his team at Elastic — won the Emmy for Outstanding Main Title Design in 2011 and effectively redefined what a TV intro could be. Instead of a static credits roll, it showed a living, mechanical map of Westeros and Essos, with cities unfolding like clockwork as the camera soared over them.

Every episode, the map showed only the locations that appeared in that episode's story — making the intro itself a subtle narrative device. Fans dissected it obsessively before each new season to figure out which locations (and therefore which storylines) were coming.

How to make your own Game of Thrones intro

The Kassel Labs Game of Thrones Intro Creator lets you customize the title card that closes the sequence:

Step 1 — Open the creator

Navigate to kassellabs.io/intro/game-of-thrones to open the creator.

Step 2 — Enter your custom title

Replace "Game of Thrones" with your own text. This could be a house name, a family name, an event title, a project name, or anything else that fits the epic register of the show.

Step 3 — Preview your intro

The live preview shows you exactly what the finished video will look like before you render it.

Step 4 — Render and download

Click Render to generate the video, then download the MP4 file. Use it as an opener for presentations, YouTube videos, celebration videos, or anything else you have in mind.

Creative uses for a custom Game of Thrones intro
