Scalargame
Deduce a country, build a globe, and tackle more puzzles.
What is Scalargame?
Scalargame is a free daily puzzle set that bundles four short browser games: Scalar, Continuum, Whenabouts, and Tectonic. Together they test deduction, ranking, history, and geography. A new set appears each day at local midnight, with no account required to play.
How to play Scalargame
Open the site and play the day's four puzzles. In Scalar Countries, use numerical clues to deduce a country; in Continuum, place countries on a hidden scale; in Whenabouts, place five events on a timeline; and in Tectonic, build the world on a 3D globe. The games rely on estimation and reasoning rather than exact knowledge.
Tips & strategy
- For geography-based puzzles, start with broad comparisons—size, location, population—before trying to pin exact values.
- Use process of elimination: each clue or placement should narrow the remaining candidate countries or events.
- Anchor Whenabouts around events you are most confident about, then place the less certain ones relative to them.
- For Tectonic, focus on distinctive coastlines and the relative positions of continents rather than perfect shapes.
- If a scale feels tricky, try putting items in rough order first, then adjust.
