Look. Guess. Reveal.
Every round drops you somewhere real. Find the clues, place your pin on the globe and see how far off you were.
Spin the globe
A 3D globe with borders, cities and regions.
See how close
Your guess, the real place and the distance.
Built to play offline
A custom Rust panorama engine and a detailed world map run entirely on the phone. Starter panoramas, flag and language quiz modes, and no ads, accounts or analytics. Save more views before a trip and play in airplane mode.
Made for phones
Touch controls, pinch zoom and a globe in reach.
No signal needed
Saved panoramas work in airplane mode.
Flags and languages
Two quick practice modes sit beside Explore. Name the country from its flag, or the language from a sentence in its own script. Missed answers come back sooner.
Flag quiz
250 countries and territories, with 2, 4 or 6 choices.
Language quiz
30 languages, each in its own script.
