A country appears — its name and its silhouette. You tap the continent it belongs to. Three lives, five right answers to clear a round, and a clock that gets meaner as you go.
Free to play · iPhone & iPad · iOS 15+ · Portrait, one-handed
No tutorial, no settings, no menus to wade through. Open it and you're already playing.
You get the name and the shape. Recognising the outline of Italy counts every bit as much as reading the word.
A real world map fills the bottom of the screen. Tap the landmass. Nothing to eliminate, nothing to guess between.
Answer fast and you're paid more for it. Clear five and the round is yours — then the clock tightens.
Every question shows you a name and an outline, because knowing the shape of a country is geography. If you've never heard of Suriname but you know that wedge of the South American coast, you weren't guessing — you knew something.
It's one question type and only one: country → continent. No capitals round, no flags round, no "which is bigger". Just the one thing, done properly.
It's looking at Earth and it has no idea what it's looking at. You do. It never speaks and it never congratulates you — it just reacts, and the good ones are worth playing for.

You got it right
Astonished
You got a hard one
Deflated
Ah. Not that one.
Two things decide what an answer is worth: how quickly you got there, and how hard the country was. So the ones you're quietly proud of knowing actually show up in the number.
Clearing a round pays too, and each round pays more than the last — but you don't get those until the run is over. They're what the end-of-run tally counts up, one round at a time, into a total you get to watch climb.
Every continent has its own colour, on the map and everywhere else in the game.
Longest streak is how many you got right without a single miss — it rewards not getting cocky. Highest-point run is your best total ever, and it rewards surviving the hard countries. They're different skills, and you'll be better at one of them.
Every run lands on your own ten-slot table of best runs, and knocking one off the bottom never gets old. There's no global leaderboard — the only person your numbers are worth comparing to is you last week.
Three questions, every one worth double, and nothing staked on entry. Get all three wrong and it costs you exactly nothing — you go straight back to the run you were already having.
It's the one moment the game hands you something rather than asking for it.
Nothing. It's free to download and the whole game is there from the first tap — no paywall, no locked content, no subscription.
All 195 sovereign states, and a further tier that adds dependencies and overseas territories on top for when the sovereign list stops being a challenge.
Because no sovereign state exists there. Antarctica is on the map and it's a real answer once territories are in play, but in the standard game nothing lives there to be asked about — and we'd rather say that than invent ten countries to make the continents look even.
No, and that's deliberate. Your records are yours — longest streak and highest-point run — and the only person they're worth comparing to is you last week.
There's one, it's optional, and you're the one who asks for it: when a run ends you can watch a short video to get a life back and keep going. No banners, no ads between questions, and nothing ever sits between you and hitting Play again.
iPhone and iPad running iOS 15 or later. It plays in portrait, designed for one hand on a bus. There's no Android version yet.
No — the game plays fully offline. A connection is only used for the optional rewarded video at the end of a run.
