Uncharted: Drake's Trail was an online game located on the official European Uncharted website (now defunct), which serves as a prequel to the events of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. The player takes on the role of a private investigator hired by Elena Fisher to track down Nathan Drake, who Elena believes to be on the trail of something big and has recently gone missing.

The game was played using Google Maps. It opened in a browser window, which displayed the Google Maps interface on the right hand side. On the left were spaces for inventory items that you pick up whilst playing the game, and a game timer to record total playing time. In the bottom left corner was Drake's diary, in which any notes you found were recorded. Above the Google Maps interface was the search box, where players would type destinations they believed the next clue was located. Each location was a marked by a compass that when clicked would open a bubble which displayed the available Flash puzzle for that area.

Upon completion of a puzzle, players were shown a brief scene which contained a clue to the next location.
