How to play

  1. 1

    Read the arrows

    The hidden city sits in the middle of the compass. Each arrow points to a real city at its true bearing.

  2. 2

    Name the city

    Type your guess. A wrong one becomes a red arrow, so you can see which way you are off.

  3. 3

    Fewer tries, higher rank

    The fewer tries you need, the higher you rank. Players with the same number of tries are ranked by time.

About GeoAzimuth Daily

An azimuth is a compass direction measured in degrees clockwise from north: 0 is north, 90 is east, 180 is south and 270 is west. Navigators, pilots and surveyors use it to say exactly which way one place lies from another. GeoAzimuth Daily turns that idea into a puzzle you solve backwards: instead of finding the direction, you get the directions and have to find the place.

Every arrow follows the shortest route over the globe, so some bearings surprise you when you picture a flat map. Each day brings one new city from anywhere in the world, from famous capitals to smaller places, and the difficulty changes from day to day. Play it every day to build your streak, then sharpen your sense of direction in the practice regions.

GeoAzimuth Daily questions

When does a new city appear?

Every day at midnight UTC. The countdown on this page shows how long is left.

Is it the same city for everyone?

Yes. Every player gets the same hidden city and the same arrows, which keeps the leaderboard fair.

How hard is today's city?

The difficulty changes at random between Easy, Medium and Hard. Easy and Medium days show the distance to each clue city; Hard days show only the bearings.

How is the leaderboard ranked?

By tries first: finding the city on the first try beats finding it on the second. Players with the same number of tries are ranked by time.

Can I play more than once a day?

The daily is one attempt a day. For unlimited games, pick one of the 13 practice regions.
