About MapGame
MapGame is a free daily geography game made by Minas Giannekas and released in 2023. Each day the game hides one country, and every player receives the same country. Ten guesses are allowed, and after each guess the game returns a new hint about the mystery country. The game's FAQ explains that directional hints describe where a country lies west, east, north or south of a named country on the game map, which uses the Winkel Tripel projection.
