197 countries.
None of them locked.

Open the app and every country on Earth is already available. Play your own first, or the one you are flying to on Thursday, or Kiribati — the app never holds a country back to make you earn it. Difficulty is the thing you climb, not access.

  • Five levels per country — Easiest, Easy, Medium, Hard, Hardest.
  • Each level draws 10 questions from a pool of 15, so a replay is never the same quiz.
  • Search is accent-blind: type “cote” and you get Côte d’Ivoire.
One question at a time

Fifteen seconds.
Four answers. Go.

A ring counts down under the header — the only thing on the screen allowed to glow, because it is the only thing that is alive. Get it right and the bar segment above turns green; get it wrong and it turns red, so the shape of your run is readable at a glance without a running score nagging at you.

  • Every question is tagged by category — geography, history, culture, food, people, nature, landmarks, sport.
  • A run of correct answers shows as a ×3 streak chip in the corner.
  • Run out of time and the question is simply marked wrong. No penalties, no lives.
★ Half a star per answer

Nine out of ten
is the cruellest score.

Every correct answer is worth half a star, so ten questions map onto five stars exactly and almost every result lands one answer short of something. The app says so out loud — “One answer from a perfect 5★.” — because naming the gap is the honest version of a retry button.

  • Six of ten passes the level and unlocks the next one.
  • Miles are paid on every run — a level you have already passed pays half, never nothing.
  • Three badges per level — ✦ Flawless, ⚡ Swift, ✓ Clean — 2,955 in all.
More than a question bank

Reasons to open it tomorrow.

The quiz is the easy part. Everything here exists so that the second week is better than the first.

🌍

The Daily Challenge

Ten questions across ten different countries, seeded by the date — everyone on Earth gets the same ten, one attempt, gone at midnight. No pass or fail, just a rank: Cartographer, Navigator, Explorer, Wanderer, or Lost at Sea. Share it as an emoji grid that spoils nothing.

⚔️

Challenge a friend

Six questions about one random country, decided by the room code itself. First to answer takes the point — but a wrong buzz shows your rival which option is dead. Both stake 120 Miles, the winner takes 240, and a level score goes to sudden death.

🔥

Streaks that forgive

Any finished quiz keeps the day. Miss one and a banked freeze covers it silently — you find out afterwards, on the results screen, instead of losing 40 days to a busy Tuesday.

🧭

Explorer levels

Stars are mastery and they cap. Miles are effort and they never do — every attempt pays, so the sixth run of France is still worth starting. Backpacker through to Atlas.

🏅

Achievements

Island Hopper for all fourteen of Oceania. Night Owl, Comeback Kid, Polymath for all eight categories. Locked ones show their name and a hint, because a goal you cannot see is not a goal.

🗂️

Eight categories, unevenly matched on purpose

Geography leads with 3,016 questions, then history 2,759, culture 2,425, food 1,533, people 1,525, nature 1,481, landmarks 1,100 and sport 936. Each week the Daily leans into one of them, which turns the same question bank into a scheduled event.

📴

Entirely offline

Every question ships inside the app. Aeroplane mode, a tunnel, a country with no data plan — the only thing that needs a network is a live match against a friend, and even that only exchanges the option numbers you tapped.

The collection

A passport that
shows its gaps.

Every country gets a stamp: its flag, cut into a disc, set inside a ring that tells you how far you got, and rotated a few degrees so the page looks hand-stamped rather than printed. Countries you have never opened stay as dashed silhouettes — a collection is defined by what is missing from it.

  • Inked on your first pass, then bronze at 10 stars, silver at 20, gold at a full 25.
  • A visa for each finished continent. Oceania is only fourteen countries — the one you can do in a sitting.
  • Only metal glows. Everything else on this screen stays quiet.
⚔️ Head to head

Send a six-character
code. Play right now.

No friend lists, no invites to accept, nobody to add. The app makes a room code, and whoever types it in is in. The country is not chosen by either of you — it falls out of the code itself, so both phones land on the same six questions in the same order without exchanging a word about it.

  • Answer wrong and you are locked out of that question — your rival now knows one dead option.
  • Both stake 120 Miles — about one good quiz each. Winner takes all 240.
  • Both devices derive the questions from the room code alone. The server never sees a single question or answer.
Privacy

No sign-up.
We never learn who you are.

Most quiz games want a login before they want you to have fun. This one has never asked for an email, a password or a social account, and it never will. The leaderboard and subscriptions run on an anonymous ID the app makes for itself.

Your progress lives on your phone

Stars, streaks, Miles and stamps are stored on the device and played from there, online or off. A backup is kept against your anonymous ID so a reinstall can restore it — nothing in it identifies you.

Questions never leave the device

In a live match the two phones derive the same six questions from the room code. Our matchmaking server only relays which option number you tapped — it never sees a question or an answer.

No ads today

The current version shows none. If that ever changes, the privacy policy gets updated before the build does, not after.

FAQ

Questions about the questions.

Is it really every country?

All 197 — the 193 UN member states plus Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo and Taiwan. Each one has its own five levels and its own 75 questions. Nothing is a stub.

Where do the questions come from?

They were written and fact-checked country by country, then reviewed for the traps that make quiz games annoying: answers that changed since the question was written, options that are technically also correct, and questions that just test whether you have been there.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to challenge a friend. Every question is bundled inside the app, so the country quizzes and the Daily Challenge work in aeroplane mode.

What is a Mile, and how do I earn them?

The effort currency. Stars measure mastery and stop at 25 per country; Miles are paid on every single run and never stop, which is what makes replaying a country you have already finished worth doing.

Ten Miles per correct answer, plus 20 for passing and 25 more for a perfect score. So a quiz you scrape through pays 110, a good one 130–140, and a flawless 10/10 pays 175.

Replaying a level you have already passed pays half of that — enough that going back is still worth it, not enough to fund a challenge off one memorised Level 1. The Daily and live matches are unaffected.

Why does a challenge cost 120 Miles?

Because it should cost something. At 120 a challenge is roughly one good quiz — pass at 7/10 or better and you have funded your next one outright. Cheap enough that a losing streak never strands you, expensive enough that throwing a match away is a real decision.

New players are given exactly one stake, so your first challenge is always free — including a friend who installed the app purely because you sent them a room code. After that everyone plays by the same rule: earn it, then spend it.

How does the Daily Challenge work?

Ten questions drawn from ten different countries, seeded by the date, so every player in the world gets exactly the same ten. One attempt. It never says you failed — you get a rank instead — and it never awards country stars, so it cannot be farmed.

Can I lose my streak by travelling?

No. Streaks are counted in calendar days, and a clock that moves backwards — a flight west, a manual change — is ignored rather than treated as a missed day. Miss a real day and a banked freeze covers it silently.

Is it free? Is there a subscription?

Free to play, and it stays that way — every one of the 197 countries is unlocked from the start for everyone. A Pro plan will be offered alongside it for players who want a new question pack each month, and it will never take away anything the free game already gives you.

Is there an iPhone version?

Android first. The app is built with React Native, so an iOS build is a realistic follow-up rather than a rewrite — but there is no date to promise yet.

Start with your own country.
It is the one you will get right.

Then Bolivia, then Kiribati, then the other 194. Two minutes at a time.
