Daily geography games

Daily geography games turn the map into a puzzle. Some test what you can recognise: Worldle shows a country's outline, Flagle reveals a flag piece by piece, and Tradle gives you nothing but a chart of a country's exports. Others are about how the world fits together, like Travle, where you connect two countries by naming the ones in between, or Globle, where the globe glows warmer as your guesses get closer.

For something different, Farflung and GeoHunter reward knowing which countries stand out in a category, and TimeGuessr asks where and when a historic photo was taken. Almost all of them are free, and they are a painless way to learn where places really are. WhenTaken asks where and when a photo was taken, GeoGrid fills a grid with countries that match two clues, and MapTap has you find five places on a globe, each with a short history lesson.

Where to start

  • New to geography games? Start with Globle. There's no limit on guesses, and every one of them teaches you where something is.
  • Only have a minute? Worldle and Flagle are both over quickly, and the clues after each miss keep them fair.
  • Already good with maps? Travle will test whether you really know who borders whom.
  • Prefer photos and history? WhenTaken takes about five minutes and has a free archive.

Four kinds of geography game

Name that country

One mystery country, and clues that get you closer. Worldle starts from an outline, Flagle from a flag and Tradle from a chart of exports. Globle gives you nothing but a globe that glows warmer.

How the world fits together

Travle asks for the countries between two others. GeoGrid asks for countries that match two categories at once. Both reward knowing borders and neighbours.

Stand out from the crowd

In Farflung an unusual correct answer takes you further than an obvious one. In GeoHunter you match countries to the rankings where they do best.

Where and when

TimeGuessr and WhenTaken show you a photograph and ask for a place and a year. MapTap names five places for you to find on the globe, each tied to a moment in history.
