What is World Clue?
World Clue is a web-based geography game and country data explorer that combines a daily country-guessing game, a weekly mode, custom practice rounds, a country explorer, and a searchable data explorer built from public country datasets. The site emphasizes learning country facts through play and interactive browsing.
How to play
- Press Play in the menu to start a round immediately (Daily, Weekly, or Practice).
- During a round use the provided clues, maps, and any Bonus Challenge that appears at the start of a country.
- Submit Guess to attempt to identify the country; you may also Give Up or Reveal Country in practice.
- After each country or the whole daily, view Daily Results, accuracy, time, and share or review your guess history.
Why play World Clue?
World Clue is built for people who enjoy learning about countries and exploring world data. It mixes a daily challenge with practice tools and searchable datasets so you can test knowledge, explore country facts, and track results through leaderboards and training summaries.
Reading the feedback
The game provides explicit post-action feedback: a Daily Results screen shows metrics (examples shown on the site include Time: 00:00 and Accuracy: 0.00%), a score distribution with a You marker, and options to Share result or Give feedback. Practice rounds show a training summary and statistics for accuracy and remaining items.
