About Where on Earth?
Where on Earth? is a geography guessing game dressed up as a travel journal. Each round deals you a postcard about a real place — an emoji snapshot plus a cryptic opening clue, like a city whose metro moves millions under boulevards drawn by a baron. You drop a pin on a hand-drawn world map, hit Guess, and watch a dotted flight line arc from your pin to the truth while the distance counter spins. Score follows a curve: nail it within a hundred kilometres and confetti flies; miss by an ocean and the number stings. The tactical squeeze is the clue button. Every place carries four hints that slide from riddle to giveaway, but each reveal shrinks your bonus multiplier, so there's a real gambler's moment in slamming an early pin on half a hunch. The deck spans more than sixty places across every continent — Paris and Tokyo, sure, but also Varanasi, Timbuktu, Samarkand and Easter Island — and never repeats within a session. Five rounds, a rank stamp from Lost Luggage to Atlas Legend, and a personal best that quietly dares you to run it again.

How to play Where on Earth?
Each round shows a postcard with clues about a real place. Pan and zoom the world map, tap to drop your pin, then press Guess. Stuck? Reveal up to three more clues, but each one shrinks your bonus multiplier. Points come from distance — closer is better, under 100 km is confetti territory. After five rounds you get a total score and a rank stamp.
Controls
Desktop: click to drop the pin, drag to pan, scroll to zoom, Enter to guess, N for the next clue, M to mute. Touch: tap to pin, drag to pan, pinch or double-tap to zoom.
Tips & tricks
- Guessing on clue one pays a ×1.5 bonus — a bold early pin often outscores a safe late one.
- Zoom in before you drop: at world zoom, a fingertip covers 500 kilometres.
- Clue two usually narrows down the region — read it before you start panning anywhere.
- Anything under 100 km scores near-maximum points, so learn where capitals sit on their coastlines.
