How the distance is calculated
The distance is measured border to border, on the globe, between your guess and the mystery country. Two countries that touch are 0 km apart. Today’s country is the same for everyone and changes at midnight, Paris time. Countries under 5,000 km² are never the mystery country, but you can guess them.
How to play
- Guess a country by typing its name.
- It is coloured on the globe: blue if far away, burning red if very close to the mystery country.
- Narrow the area guess after guess until you find the right country.
Tips
- Start with a large country in the middle of a continent: the colour tells you straight away which region to search.
- A neighbour of the mystery country is 0 km away: if it turns bright red, the hidden country touches it.
- Spin the globe to spot neighbours you have not tried yet.
