About MapTap
MapTap is a daily geography game played on a 3D globe. Each day's game names five world locations, and players rotate and zoom the globe to tap the spot where they believe each place is. Scoring uses the straight-line distance between the tap and the real location: a tap within 22 km scores 100 points for that round, and the score falls as the distance grows.
