MapFold
Every question is a fact about today's country, picked to cut the possibilities roughly in half. Each miss folds the ruled out part of the map away until only one place is left.

A miss crosses that country off and folds away the half of the map the fact rules out.
- Close in
Keep going until you tap the right country.

Knowledge is not the main skill
You do not need to know the answer early. What matters is knowing exactly which countries each fact removes, so the map folds where you expect. A player who reasons carefully about population and coastlines will often beat someone who simply knows a lot of trivia but guesses too soon.
Questions people ask about MapFold
How do you play MapFold?
Read the fact, tap a country, and watch the map fold away what the fact rules out. Repeat until you tap the hidden country.
Is MapFold a quiz or a puzzle?
A bit of both. The facts are quiz questions, but you win by working out what each one removes, not by knowing the answer at once.
Does every day start the same way?
No. The questions are made fresh each day to split the field as evenly as possible, so some days open with a hemisphere and others with population.
How is it different from Worldle or Globle?
Those give you a shape or a hotter colder hint. MapFold gives facts and lets the map show what each fact removed.
Does FlightQ make other games?
Yes. FlightQ runs other daily geography and travel games, such as Strata.
Ways to get better at MapFold
- Aim early misses at the middle of what is left, so each fold removes the most map.
- Never guess a country the facts already ruled out. That ends the day.
- Wait until the map is small before you commit, especially at the final two.
- Population and size facts are easy to misjudge. If you are unsure which side a country falls on, do not guess it yet.
