Where
What is Where?
Where is a daily geography puzzle that strips location-guessing down to its essentials: a world map, a fixed crosshair, and one button. Each day, you move the map beneath the crosshair to mark your best guess at a mystery location, then commit to it. The interface is minimal and bilingual (English/German), with touch drag on mobile and arrow keys plus zoom controls on desktop. After you drop your pin, the game reveals the answer and links out to Wikipedia for context, and you can challenge a friend to beat your attempt.
A perfect little daily coffee-break game — drag, drop, and you're done in a minute.
Finally a geography game that makes you feel the map under your fingers, not just click pins.
Daily reset means I can't 100% it in one sitting, but the challenge of nailing every location keeps me coming back.
How to play Where
The core interaction is simple: shift the world map around until the fixed crosshair sits over the spot you believe is the answer, then press the button to lock in your guess. On touchscreens, drag with one finger; on a keyboard, use the arrow keys to pan and plus/minus to zoom. A 'Drop pin' option lets you place your marker, and after the reveal you can use the Wikipedia link to learn more about the location or send a challenge to another player.
Tips & strategy
- Zoom out first to get your bearings before narrowing in on a region.
- Use the arrow keys for precise adjustments once you're close — small pan movements are easier than dragging.
- If you're unsure, think about population density and coastline shapes; the map rewards broad geographic knowledge over trivia.
- The daily format means you only get one shot per day, so take your time before pressing the button.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a time limit?
The site text doesn't mention one, so assume you can take as long as you need to make your guess.
How is the answer scored?
The page doesn't specify a scoring system, so the outcome is simply how close your pin is to the actual location.
Can I play more than once a day?
It's described as a daily game, so one puzzle per day is the standard format.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — the instructions mention dragging with one finger, which implies touch support.
