Where on Earth is this?

A country appears as a pink shape. Name it before the dial runs out. The longer you wait, the more of the map fills in, and the fewer points you get.

New here? A one-minute practice round shows you how.

How to play

  1. A country appears as a pink shape on the globe.
  2. Type its name and press Enter. Misspell it and we'll ask "Did you mean…?"
  3. Every 15 seconds more of the map fills in: neighbours, then the region, then the continent.
  4. Faster means more points: up to 1,000 a country. A wrong guess costs 5 seconds.
  5. Stuck? Next clue jumps straight to the next stage. You lose the time you skip, nothing more.
  6. Five countries a day, the same for everyone. One go at the daily; practise as much as you like.
