Help making UI/Level Maps [Noob Warning]

I am extremely new to Unreal Engine so please excuse my poor explanation, but I am unable to find any tutorials or videos on how to pull this off.

I want to make a simple 2D game and it requires the use of maps, within maps to navigate through all the various options and game levels. Using the image below as an example, I want to make all of those boxes clickable so it will load either a new map or a game. How do I achieve this? I’m not looking for a 3D arena for a character to walk it, its a simple point and click type game. I understand a UI would probably be the simple options, but I feel it needs to be its own individual “level” so further interactivity can be achieved.

If i understand correctly, it like an RTS top view ?

2 options to research on: (if it camera top view)

  • Widget Component, you can add a widget component directly to your BP_House
  • Use of this node below(usually use for RTS game)
    image

Otherwise if it just an image map, use of UI with a button widget.

Thank you! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Even with my terrible explanation you knew the solution! Thank you so much! I can stop pulling my hair out now.
