HOW A HUNT ROUND WORKS

01

READ THE RIDDLE

Each round gives you a cryptic clue — no country name, no obvious hints. Just a carefully crafted description pointing to somewhere real on Earth.

02

OPEN GOOGLE MAPS

The full Google Maps is yours. Zoom anywhere, switch to Street View, go satellite. The answer is out there — you just have to find it.

03

EXPLORE & THINK

Navigate the map region. Use geography knowledge, clues, and instinct. You can reveal up to 3 extra clues (1 token each) if you're stuck.

04

SUBMIT YOUR ANSWER

Type the location name and hit Enter. Wrong guesses cost a small score penalty — think before you submit. You can try as many times as you need.

05

COLLECT TOKENS

While exploring, hidden token caches are scattered across the region. Activate your radar with [H] and navigate close enough to collect them.

06

CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD

Score depends on difficulty, speed, clues used, and wrong answers. Race to the top — the global leaderboard resets every week.

TIPS FROM THE FIELD

🎯

Clue 1 is always free — read it carefully before touching the map.

Solve within 10 minutes for a 10% speed bonus on top of your base score.

🗺️

Street View is your best friend. Hop in and look for signs, landscape, or architecture.

🪙

Don't spend tokens recklessly — save them for the hard, extreme, and pro rounds where they matter most.

📍

Drop map pins while you explore — right-click on desktop, long-press on mobile. You get 5 per round. Click a pin to remove it.

📡

Always sweep the map with [H] radar before submitting — hidden tokens are free score.

🧠

Play the Daily Geo Quiz every day — even 50 pts per quiz adds up fast on the weekly leaderboard.

⚠ PRO DIFFICULTY — ROUNDS 21–25

Pro rounds are genuinely brutal. Locations are chosen from the most obscure, unexcavated, and barely-mapped places on Earth — micro-territories, unnamed ruins, and sites that don't appear in any tourist database. Your map always starts on a completely different continent from the answer. No landmarks. No obvious region. Just the riddle and your instincts.

Maximum possible score for a perfect week: 97,500 pts

HIDDEN TOKEN CACHES

Each round hides 2–4 token caches somewhere in the map region. They are NOT at the answer location — you must explore to find them.

  1. Press [H] to activate your token radar
  2. Navigate your map view around the region
  3. When within 500m of a hidden token, the radar blips
  4. The closer you get, the faster the radar pulses
  5. Come within 50m and the token is automatically collected

Hidden tokens are yours regardless of whether you solve the round — exploration is always rewarded.
