Spin the 3D globe and place your guess as close as possible to the correct location. The closer you are, the higher your score.
Game Modes
Countries — A country name is shown. Click as close to the center of the country as possible — the closer to the middle, the higher your score.
Cities — A city name is shown. Click the location of that city on the globe.
Photos (Landmarks) — A photo of a landmark is shown. Click where you think it is on the globe.
Controls
Drag — Rotate the globe.
Scroll / Pinch — Zoom in and out.
Click — Place your guess pin.
Scoring
Each round is scored out of 100 points using a logarithmic decay based on the Great Circle distance to the correct location — precision is rewarded significantly. Your cumulative score across all rounds is your final score.
Multiplayer
Create a lobby and share the 5-letter Game ID with friends.
Everyone guesses simultaneously; scores update in real time.
The host chooses the number of rounds; game mode is selected on the main menu.
Tips
Enable Topography in Customizations to see real-world elevation — useful for identifying mountain ranges and coastlines.
Click the landmark photo thumbnail to expand it for a closer look.
