Geography is made for more than text answers

A map invites guessing. Ask for the length of a river as a number and let the closest guess win, put four mountains in order of height, match capitals to countries, or show a map and ask players to tap the right spot.

  • Guess a number for heights, lengths and populations
  • Right order for peaks, rivers or cities by size
  • Match pairs for capitals and countries
  • Find on the image to tap a place on a map you add

Pick a continent for each round

Spin the wheel to choose the next continent and nobody can say the questions were chosen against them. The free plan allows five questions per presentation, so play one region per presentation, or use topic rounds on a paid plan.
