What is Rhumdle?

Rhumdle is a geographic bearing game. Each round names an origin and a target city; you turn a compass needle toward the initial bearing of the shortest path between them, lock it in, and are graded by your angular error. Its arcade modes turn this map-reading task into either a time trial, a survival run or a streak chase.

How to play

  1. Read the origin and target city shown for the round.
  2. Drag or tap the compass needle to point from City A toward City B along the shortest path.
  3. Lock in the bearing and read the angular-error grade, points and any time change.
  4. Continue according to the selected Arcade or Daily Puzzle mode.

Why play Rhumdle?

Choose Rhumdle if you want geography driven by spatial reasoning rather than capital-city recall. The visible angle grades make every choice legible, and the arcade modes let you prioritize speed, consistency or a long clean streak.

Reading the feedback

Rhumdle responds to every round with a named accuracy band. A 0° Bullseye earns 15 points and +10 seconds; Excellent is under 15° for 5 points and +5 seconds; Nice is under 30° for 3 and +3s; Close is under 50° for 1 and +1s; Off at 50° or more earns no points or time. In Blitz and Survival, time bonuses apply; consecutive non-Off rounds build x2, x3 and x4 point multipliers, while Off breaks the combo.

Modes

Blitz
A fixed 30-second to five-minute timer; better guesses add time and the objective is to beat the clock.
Survival
Start with 30 seconds; every round costs time, better guesses return time and there is one life.
Streak
No clock; keep guessing until an Off result ends the run and pursue a personal best.
Daily Puzzle
A distinct daily-puzzle tab listed in the game’s How to Play panel.

Tips & strategy

  • Prioritize the initial bearing, not a straight-line map impression: the game explicitly grades the shortest route between the two cities.
  • Aiming within 15° is especially valuable in timed modes because it awards both points and extra seconds.
  • Avoid Off results when a combo is active; an Off resets the multiplier entirely.

Popular questions

How does Rhumdle score a bearing?

It grades angular error from Bullseye at exactly 0° through Excellent, Nice and Close, with Off at 50° or more. Each band has an explicit point value and, in timed modes, time bonus.

What happens when I am Off in Rhumdle?

An Off result is an angular error of at least 50°. It awards zero points and no time, and it breaks any active combo multiplier.
