A CHK file is a scenario data file used by Blizzard Entertainment's StarCraft to define the contents and behavior of a game map. It stores data that describes a scenario, such as terrain, units, triggers, locations, player settings, mission briefings, and other map information. CHK files are saved in a binary chunk-based format and are commonly stored internally as scenario.chk within StarCraft map files, such as .SCM and .SCX.

Although most players interact with complete StarCraft map files rather than standalone CHK files, the format remains important within the StarCraft editing and modding community. Map creators and modders use CHK files when designing custom maps and game scenarios for StarCraft. Map editors read and modify this scenario data to control gameplay behavior and create custom experiences.

CHK files are not meant to be opened. Instead, Blizzard StarCraft loads the data stored in the CHK file during gameplay.

However, you can open CHK files with StarCraft map editing tools, such as ScmDraft 2. This program allows you to view and edit the chunk data contained within the CHK file, which is used in custom StarCraft maps.
