You get a satellite tile of a place somewhere on Earth. Zoom in, look around, then click the map on the right where you think that tile is.

Points measure accuracy only, and never go above 5 000 in a round. A perfect 5-round match is always 25 000, in every mode and at every difficulty. XP is the reward on top: harder tiles and faster answers multiply it, so tough settings level you up faster without inflating your score.

Every round gets its own clock, from 15 seconds to 5 minutes. Run out and the round ends with zero, but the next one starts fresh. Good for short, sharp games. One clock for the whole game. Spend three minutes on the first round and you leave nothing for the rest — when it hits zero the match ends where it is. Good for a race.

A tile from anywhere on Earth. You choose how wide it is — from 1 500 km down to 40 km. Wider tiles are easier to place, narrow ones pay much more. The tile always sits on a city. Pick how well known the cities should be, limit them to a continent or a single country, or switch to capitals only. All rounds happen inside one country you choose. The tile size scales with how big that country is, so a round in Portugal feels the same as one in Brazil. Here you are naming the country, not the exact spot. Landing in the right country still scores well, a neighbouring one scores a little, the right continent scores least. One location a day, the same for everyone, one attempt and no hints. It is followed by seven questions about the country you landed in.
