Globe Sleuth
Guess the country from six clues — a new mystery country every day.
About Globe Sleuth
Globe Sleuth is a daily geography puzzle: guess the mystery country from a ladder of six clues. The first clue only gives the continent and hemisphere; every miss unlocks the next — how many people live there and how big it is, how many countries it borders, its outline on the map, one of its neighbours and finally its capital. Each wrong guess also tells you whether the mystery country is on the same continent and has more or fewer people and more or less land than your guess. Solve it on an early clue for a big score, keep a daily streak, and share your result without spoiling the answer. Practice mode serves random countries whenever you want more. Outlines come from Natural Earth's public-domain maps.
How to play
Read the clue and type a country — pick it from the suggestions and press GUESS (or Enter). A miss reveals the next clue and shows ▲/▼ hints: does the mystery country have more or fewer people, more or less land, and is it on the same continent? NEXT CLUE skips ahead without guessing. You have six guesses; fewer clues used means more points. A new daily country appears at midnight, the same for everyone.

Tips for Globe Sleuth
- Use the ▲/▼ hints: a miss tells you whether the mystery country has more or fewer people and more or less land.
- The borders clue narrows things fast — an island with no land borders, or a landlocked country, rules out most of the map.
- Size and population together are a strong hint: a big country with few people is often desert, steppe or tundra.
- Don't waste early guesses on far-off continents — wait for clue 1 to point the way, then guess inside it.
- If the outline doesn't ring a bell, skip to the neighbour or capital clue rather than guessing blindly.
