What is Knowhere?
Knowhere is a web-based geography guessing game where you locate countries on a blank globe. Each round prompts you to spin the globe and click where a named country lies. The game tracks your score across five rounds and offers both a daily challenge and unlimited practice mode.
How to play Knowhere
- Drag the globe to rotate and position your view.
- Click on the spot where you think the named country is located.
- Tap "Submit guess" to lock in your answer.
- Advance to the next round and repeat until you complete all five rounds.
- Review your score and compare it on the daily or all-time leaderboard.
Use the cyan reference marker
A reference point appears in cyan on the globe to help you orient yourself. This marker can serve as a geographic anchor when you are unsure of a region's position. Spin the globe to see how the target country relates to this reference before placing your guess.
Modes
Daily Challenge
One set of five countries per day. Your score counts toward the daily leaderboard and contributes to your all-time statistics.
Practice
Random, unlimited rounds. Use this mode to improve your geography skills without affecting leaderboard rankings.
Tips for better accuracy
Rotate the globe fully before clicking. Viewing a country from different angles can reveal coastlines or neighboring regions that confirm its location.
If you want your name displayed on the leaderboard, set a leaderboard name in the settings. Otherwise, your results remain anonymous.
The game shows your score immediately after each guess, along with round progress and summary stats including your best, average, and worst performances. Keep the page open in the same browser to retain your progress locally.
