1. Pick what to play
Choose a quiz category — countries, capitals, flags, rivers, mountains and more —
and optionally narrow it down to one continent. Not sure yet? "All games" lists
every mode in one place.
2. Pick how hard
Five difficulty levels. Level 1 is a warm-up; level 5 is for people who know
where Kiribati is without blinking.
3. Tap the map
Each question names a place. You answer by tapping it on a real, zoomable world
map — no multiple choice, no lists to pick from. The closer you are, the better.
4. Stuck? Hint or skip
A hint narrows the search down; a skip moves you on. Both are honest about the
score, so a clean run still means something.
5. See how you did
After each round you get your result and it feeds your statistics and rankings,
per category — so you can watch your accuracy climb over time.
Want to learn before you compete?
Study Mode shows the map with everything labeled, so you can explore
first and quiz yourself later. It is the fastest way to turn "I think it's
somewhere north" into a first-try hit.
The daily 5-second challenge
On social media we run one round a day: a short video shows an unlabeled map
and gives you 5 seconds to find the country. The answer is revealed the next
day in the same thread. Find us as @mapgenius on TikTok,
@mapgenius.app on Instagram and Threads, and @mapgenius-app on
YouTube — then install the game and play all 243 countries, not just the daily one.
