What's New
Bug Fixes: - fixing an issue where if you opened the app before midnight, and tried to play the daily game after midnight, it thought you had already played and gave you the scores from the day before. - achievement banners will no longer linger into the next game you play - improved the readability of score text over deserts - fixed the flag picker (where the country text was black on black, making it quite challenging to read!) - fixed a bug where if you started a player map, then left the app, then came back, you didn't return to the player map

User Reviews
While I’m not always spot-on when it comes to finding these places on the map, I very much enjoy the little tidbits from history connected to these places around the world. (And I love that it’s a quick game.)
A great concept. I love how after the daily taps, you get a quod history of each that relates to the date. Better than Worldle
This is undoubtedly my favorite iteration of daily challenge games that have popped up in recent years. The challenge is unique and refreshing, and the stats interface and opportunities to practice and enhance your geographic knowledge is excellent! Everyday I enjoy doing not just the 5 cities for scoring, but all the practice maps. I’ve loved this game so much I told so many of my friends about it, excited to add them as friends and compare our daily scores, only to realize that this game has no mechanism for adding friends outside the pay-to-access ‘groups’ feature. I think that groups being pay-walled is perfectly fine, but to not have another way to connect with your friends feels super regressive to the growth of this game. Further, adding a bunch of separate friends to my one group would be kinda awkward because many don’t know each other. This aspect of the app unfortunately feels poorly thought out, and I hope that there are more social features pushed soon, in which case I’ll updated this review.
A great way to hone your geography skills. I love maps!
I like how simple the game is. 5 locations per day seems like just the right amount. And I learn so much from each location's information. The browser was getting glitchy so I decided to get the app.
Fun game. We have a groupchat competition every day with family and friends.
Beast mode game
This is the best game ever. It is fun to guess and it has inspired me to learn more. The trivia Stories are the best. Highlighting obscure people as well as those people that are famous but I don’t k ow some interesting details. I love that he highlights women and people of color.
I’ve recommended this game to a number of people because it’s not only fun, it’s educational as well. Some days are harder than others, but the challenge is the draw. I also like the information given for each of the areas a particular game. I have two people I have been sharing scores with
Really great app. You not only have fun but you learn a lot about world geography and some history about each location.
The writer of this game has a great sense of humor. I love the reactions of my answers but more importantly I Love learning about interesting facts!
The game is fun and helps me learn a lot. But I really love the stories from each place.
