What is BlindGlobe?
BlindGlobe is a daily geography-placement game. It asks you to locate three named cities on a blank 3D globe, using a green reference city to estimate direction and distance before placing a marker.
How to play
- Read the target-city name and locate the green reference city.
- Drag to rotate the globe and scroll to zoom.
- Click the globe to place a marker; reposition it if needed before confirming.
- Complete all three city rounds, using optional hints only when their score cost is worthwhile.
Why play BlindGlobe?
Choose BlindGlobe if you enjoy geographic intuition rather than multiple choice. The reference point and visible score trade-offs make every city placement a practical exercise in scale, direction and map memory.
Reading the feedback
BlindGlobe awards points according to how close a placement is to the actual target; the tutorial states that a guess within 50 km earns 5,000 points. It also displays played, high-score and average-score counters. Hints are explicit score trade-offs: revealing the country costs 500 points, while showing country outlines costs 2,000 points.
Modes
- Today’s Game
- The public daily game presents three city-location rounds and a displayed difficulty.
Tips & strategy
- Anchor the target to the green reference city first, then estimate direction and distance before rotating the globe.
- Zoom in only after you have identified the broad region; small changes on a globe can represent large distances.
- Save hints for a placement where they materially reduce uncertainty, because each one deducts points.
