MapGame
Somewhere on the map is today's country. Every guess you make earns a new hint, and your final score rewards finding it with few hints, fast and with smart guesses.

Why smart guesses score more
MapGame does not only reward the right answer. It also looks at whether your guesses made sense given the hints you had. So a wild guess on the far side of the world costs you, even if you find the country later. Treat every hint as a filter and guess inside what is left.
Before you start MapGame
- Make each guess fit the hints so far. Accuracy is part of your score.
- Do not rush the first guess. A guess in the middle of a large region teaches you the most.
- Use Practice mode to learn the shape of the hints without hurting your daily score.
- Turn on the country picker in Settings if tapping small countries on the map is fiddly.
