You need to press the tilde key. That is the key below the escape key. Once you press it the "console" will drop down and there you are able to type various commands. Note that all commands typed in the console need to have a / or \ typed first then the command can be typed. huh?

So the console command would look like this. /map temple_ctf1 huh?
