Guess the place

How to play

One place a day

Every day there is a new 3D model of a real place: a mountain, a volcano, an island, a canyon, a lake, a stretch of coast or the buildings of a city. Everyone gets the same one, and it changes at midnight where you are.

Six guesses

Type a place, a country or a city, or tap the world map. Each miss tells you how far away you are and which way to go, and the colour shows if you are getting warmer. Close enough counts: bigger places give you more room.

Hints after each miss

Colours by height and water, then a view three times wider, then the continent, the real colours from space, and last the country. Monday is the easiest, the weekend the hardest.

Share, then print it

Share your score as a little grid of colours and arrows, without giving the place away. Liked the place? Turn it into a 3D print in TerraPrinter with one click, or play past days in the archive.
