Cartillion: daily geography puzzles

Cartillion is a free daily geography puzzle game you play in your browser. Every day brings new geography puzzles about the world’s countries: their borders, languages, flags, capitals, food, wildlife, sport and history. Right answers score points, and the rarer your right answer, the more you score, so the best players find the countries nobody else thinks of.

Last Pin Standing: the daily geography survival game

Last Pin Standing is the flagship. Every day brings a new Daily of 50 geography questions, the same for everyone, starting easy and getting harder. You get 25 seconds a question and three lives: pin the right country on the map, and the rarer and quicker your answer, the more you score. Unlimited runs, also 25 seconds a question, are open any time, with a weekly leaderboard that resets every Sunday night.

Tether: link countries through what they share

Tether is a daily puzzle. You hop from country to country through something they share: a land border, an official language, colours on the flag, a shared history, an animal, a sport or a film. Each puzzle has seven rounds, and rare, unexpected links win.

Longshot: the farthest right answer

Each Longshot round asks a geography question, such as naming a country that borders the sea or speaks Spanish. Answer with a right country as far away from the start as you can. Distance and rarity both count.

How scoring and rarity work

Every answer gets a rarity tier, from Obvious to Overlooked, Obscure, Uncharted and Cartillion, based on how few players would give it. The daily puzzles are ranked: everyone gets the same puzzle, there is one attempt a day, and your results move your Elo. Casual mode lets you practise any time.

Free, with no account needed

Cartillion runs on any phone, tablet or computer. You can play without signing up, sign in with Google to keep your progress on every device, add friends, and collect a stamp in your Passport for every country you land on.
