How to Play
Press Play to start. Type the name of any city to make your first guess – a big, central city is a good opener.
After each guess the game shows a compass direction and the distance to the hidden city, and reveals a new hint. The hints are the continent, the current time in the hidden city, its flag, the length of the city's name and its first letter.
Use the direction and distance to narrow the area, and the hints to pick the right country and city. You have six tries in total.
- Start with a well-known city near the middle of a continent so the compass tells you more.
- The local time hint points to a time zone – a strong clue for east-west position.
- Once you know the flag, think of that country's larger cities that match the name length and first letter.
