Our new game Country Hunt is a word game for geography fans: the name of a country is hidden among a board of letter tiles. Tap its letters in any order to spell it before the clock runs out.
The catch: the board also holds decoy letters taken from other country names. So is it IRAN or IRAQ?
How it works
- The blanks show how many letters the country has, and the gaps show where one word ends and the next begins.
- Tap the tiles in any order - they do not need to touch. Each letter drops into the next blank. On a computer you can just type.
- When every blank is full, the answer is checked. A wrong word bounces back and costs you a few seconds.
- Stuck? A hint shows the continent, removes half the decoys or places the next letter for you.
Three ways to play
- Quest: 39 levels in 6 chapters, from World Icons to the islands of Oceania. You get 3 hearts per level and 60 seconds per country. Finish with no misses and no hints for 3 stars.
- Endless: 30 seconds per country, and one miss ends the run. Clean solves in a row build a streak multiplier up to x3.
- Relax: no clock at all. Take your time and learn the names as you go.
In your language
The board uses the country names of your language, with its own letters like Ä, Ø or É. Every country you find shows its flag, and replaying a level deals new countries, so you learn the map instead of remembering the answers.
Country Hunt is free. The first two chapters, Endless and Relax are open to everyone. Chapters 3 to 6 only need a free account, which also keeps your stars on every device and earns points on the world ranking.
