Wormillion
What is Wormillion?
Wormillion is a geography-based puzzle game where players name real places that fit a given prompt. The more obscure the answer, the deeper your worm digs and the higher your score, with obscurity measured by monthly Wikipedia views. It offers a daily challenge shared by all players and an endless mode for practice.
Perfect little coffee-break game — fifteen quick rounds, no stress, just dig for weird places.
Finally a quiz that rewards the obscure corners of the map instead of the usual capitals.
The no-penalty guessing flattens the skill curve, but the obscurity metric is a clever twist.
How to play Wormillion
Each round presents a prompt, such as 'Name a country,' and gives you 30 seconds to type any real place that fits. Your score depends on how obscure your answer is—places with fewer monthly Wikipedia views yield deeper digs and more points. Wrong answers cost nothing, so you can keep guessing until time runs out, but you cannot repeat an answer within a single run.
Tips & strategy
- Think of small towns, villages, or lesser-known geographical features rather than capitals or famous landmarks.
- Use the full 30 seconds to brainstorm; since wrong answers cost nothing, submit any plausible guess before time expires.
- Avoid well-known rivers, mountains, and cities—they have high Wikipedia view counts and yield shallow digs.
- If you're stuck, consider specific administrative regions, tiny islands, or historical sites that might have low view counts.
- In Endless mode, practice with different prompts to build a mental bank of obscure places.
