What makes a good daily geography game?
The best ones take a few minutes, give everyone the same puzzle, and let you share your result without spoiling it. Good ones also teach you something: when you get it wrong, you should come away knowing where a country is, who its neighbours are or how big it really is.
If you like Worldle, try Name the Map
Guess a country from its silhouette. Each guess shows the distance and direction to the answer. Name the Map highlights a country on the full world map, so you can use its neighbours as well as its shape. Play Name the Map.
If you like Globle, try Hot & Cold
Guess a mystery country. Each guess is coloured on a globe by how close it is. Hot & Cold uses the same warmer-and-colder idea, measured between the nearest borders, with hints for the continent and first letter. Play Hot & Cold.
If you like Travle, try Daily Route
Connect two countries through a chain of bordering countries. Daily Route has a par for every puzzle and tells you after each hop whether you moved closer to the finish. Play Daily Route.
If you like Connections, try Groups
Sort sixteen words into four hidden groups. Groups uses countries instead of words, with links like flags, currencies, borders and lines of latitude. Play Groups.
If you like Tradle, try Clues
Guess a country from a chart of what it exports. Clues gives you five written clues from hard to easy, covering history, culture, nature and geography. Play Clues.
If you like Flagle, try Flag Rush
Guess a country's flag as more of it is revealed. Flag Rush is a 60-second flag quiz with four choices per flag and unlimited rounds. Play Flag Rush.
Map games
If you like finding places, Pin It asks you to pin ten countries on a blank world map each day, and Bullseye Cities does the same with capital cities. Both score you by distance, so a near miss still counts. Name the Map flips it round: a country lights up and you name it.
Border and neighbour games
Daily Route and Neighbours are both about who borders whom. Daily Route has you travel from one country to another by land, and Neighbours asks how many countries border today's country before you name them all. Together they're the fastest way to learn the world's land borders.
Size games
Most world maps distort size, which is why Rank It, a daily game where you sort five countries by area, is harder than it sounds. True Size, an unlimited game, shows two countries side by side at their real scale.
