About Pick 5
Pick 5 is a free daily geography and trade game from the Observatory of Economic Complexity. Each day the game names one product, such as coffee, beer or cars, and the goal is to name the five countries that export it the most. Players type a country name and submit it, and each correct answer fills one of the five slots on the board. The round is scored as a percentage based on how many of the correct picks were found.
