Bearings
Pin five mystery places on a globe.
What is Bearings?
Bearings is a daily geography game in which players pin five mystery places on a 3D globe. The same five locations appear for everyone each day, and the goal is to place your pin as close as possible to score points out of 1,000. It is free to play in a web browser.
How to play Bearings
Tap the globe where you think the target place is, then confirm your pin. Each round is scored out of 100 based on how close you are, with full marks awarded for guesses within 20 km. Rounds get harder as the game progresses, and later rounds weigh more toward your final total.
Tips & strategy
- Narrow down the general region first using continents, coastlines, and borders before placing a precise pin.
- Later rounds are worth more, so take extra time on them even if the places are harder to identify.
- You don't need exact pinpoint accuracy: anything within 20 km scores full marks, so focus on being in the right area.
- Use the globe's rotate and zoom controls to inspect your guess before confirming.
- Try practice mode to get a sense of how distance affects your score.
