📍 Pinpoint
The basics
Pick a country from the list, click the map to drop its pin, and repeat until all five are placed. You can drag any pin to adjust it before you commit.
There is one submission per day. Nothing is scored until you lock in, so take your time rearranging.
Inside the border is a perfect score
You do not need to find the exact centre of a country. Landing anywhere within its borders records zero miles of error. This is the single most important thing to know about the game.
For a large country that means a generous target. For a small one it means you should still aim at the middle, because the margin is genuinely small.
Order your placements
Place the countries you are confident about first, even if they are lower in the list. Each confident pin becomes a landmark that helps you estimate the uncertain ones.
Trying to place an obscure country from a blank map in isolation is much harder than placing it relative to a neighbour you have already pinned.
A worked round
Your five are Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Japan and Paraguay. Place Australia and Brazil first, because both are large and unmistakable in shape. Then Egypt, which sits on a corner you can see even without labels.
Now Paraguay is easy, because you already have Brazil pinned and Paraguay is tucked into its southern side. Japan is the same trick from the other direction. Four of the five become relative placements rather than absolute ones.
Tips worth remembering
- Aim for the middle of small countries and anywhere at all inside large ones.
- Use coastlines. The blank map still shows land shape, and coasts are the easiest features to recognise.
- Pin the easy ones first and use them as reference points.
- Check every pin before locking in. There is no second attempt.
