Free daily geography puzzle

Borderline

A mystery country appears on the map. Guess it from its outline, its neighbours, and the clues revealed after each attempt. One fresh country every day.

How it works

Guess the country in four tries

1

See the outline

A mystery country is highlighted on the world map. Type any country name to make your first guess.

2

Get border clues

After each wrong guess you learn which countries share a border with the mystery country, narrowing it down.

3

Four guesses to win

Identify the country within four attempts. A fresh mystery drops at midnight GMT every day.

What makes it different

More than just a flag quiz

Real geography

Uses accurate country outlines and real border data from Natural Earth, not cartoon blobs.

Border logic

Clues are grounded in actual geography -- landlocked, island nations, and border-sharing countries all behave correctly.
