Identify countries from fleeting glimpses of their silhouettes. Geography teachers everywhere are quietly proud.
The Basics
- Peek to reveal parts of the map. You get 5 peeks: four quadrants (shuffled daily to keep you honest), then the full map.
- Guess the country. You have 5 attempts before the game politely gives up on you.
- Follow the clues. Wrong guesses reveal the distance and direction to the target. It's like hot-and-cold, but with kilometres.
Scoring
Your score reflects how efficiently you identified the country. Fewer peeks and fewer guesses = higher score. Perfectionists, rejoice.

Pro Tips
The shape matters: Coastal outlines, distinctive borders, that weird bit that sticks out — these are your friends.
Triangulate: Two wrong guesses with distance + direction can pinpoint the target. Basic geometry, infinite satisfaction.
Trust your gut: Sometimes you just know it's Chile. It's always Chile. (It's not always Chile.)
