How to play

- Every day you get a new country to guess.

- You have 10 guesses . After every guess you make, you get a new hint for the country.

- At the end of the game, you get points depending on:

  • If you found the hidden country.
  • How many hints you used.
  • How fast you were.
  • The accuracy of your guesses based on the provided hints.

Think smart and make each guess count!

To unlock a twist, you must meet some game-related requirements.

Example:

Flip modifier

FLIP (+15,000 pts)

Map randomly flips on X and/Y axis

🔒 Finish 5 ranked games with score > 95,000

Playing games with Twists will give you bonus points, allowing for scores higher than 100,000!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my game history and score look different?

Your scores, ranked stats and game history are saved on your current device and browser only. If you play on a different device or browser, your stats won't carry over. I plan to introduce an account system that will let you sync your game data across different devices.

How should I interpret hints like "The country is west/east/north/south of X"?

These hints suggest the general direction of the mystery country from country X on a map (using the Winkel Tripel projection). For instance, if the hint says a country is west of India, possibilities include the United States, Cuba, Oman, and others.

Which countries could be the game's mystery country?

Some smaller countries like Dominica, Bahamas, Kiribati, and others, are excluded. Generally, if you can click on a country on the game map, it could be the mystery country.

I clicked on a country that matches all the hints, but didn't win. Why?

It sounds like you were close! Although the country you selected might meet all the hints, it isn't the specific country we chose for today. But don't worry, you'll still earn plenty of points for each hint your selection matches.
