Capitals Map - How it works
Capitals Map is a free daily geography game. A stylized globe spins, slows down and stops with a pin on a mystery capital city. Type its name from the suggestions - five capitals a day, ordered easy to expert, sharing 3 lives. Wrong guesses zoom the camera in, reveal country borders, then highlight the country with a distance hint - but each one costs a life. Fast answers earn a speed bonus, and every life left at the end is worth extra points.
🗺️How to play
- 1 Press Play to start today's game.
- 2 The globe spins and stops with a pin on a mystery capital.
- 3 Type the capital's name and pick it from the suggestions - picking submits the guess.
- 4 A wrong guess costs a life and reveals more: first a zoom with country borders, then the highlighted country plus a distance hint.
- 🏁 Name all five capitals before your 3 lives run out. Answer within 15 seconds for a speed bonus - each attempt allows at most 60 seconds.
💡Tips
Check the coastline and neighbours before guessing - the shape of the land narrows it down fast.
The first capitals are famous; the last ones are for experts. Save your lives for the hard ones.
A fast correct answer earns up to 10 bonus points - but a wrong fast answer costs a life.
The distance hint measures from your last wrong guess - use it like a compass.
