India

New Delhi

Follow a shape. Find something new.

Real borders, true to scale.

2,587
pieces195 countries, regional puzzles and physical geography. India state by state, the United States state by state, every ocean and the physical world.
country mapsEach country on its own, drawn to its states, provinces or regions. Disputed land belongs to no piece.
A passportEvery map you finish earns its stamp. Mark where you have really been. It stays on your device.
2
sources per factEvery capital, every fact and every place to see is checked against two sources before it ships. Anything unverified is held back.
Three sound setsPaper, wood or glass, off by default. A daily challenge and a mystery map every day.
A magnifier for islandsA lens above your finger shows exactly where a tiny piece is, so nothing needs pinch-zooming to place.

Six globes to choose from.

The same world, drawn six ways. Pick the one you like best.

Four levels. The same map, less and less help.

Every map plays at every level. Watch Italy find its place each way.

ExplorerBorders, names, zoom helpFor younger players. Borders are drawn on the map, pieces snap from further away, names are shown, and the map zooms in for the smallest countries.
TravelerOutline only, names on piecesOnly the outline is shown, with no borders inside it. Names are on the pieces, hints are there if you need them, and the map zooms in for the smallest countries.
NavigatorShapes only, no namesNames are hidden, so you go by shape alone. Hints are still there if you get stuck.
ExpertNo hints, tighter dropsShape alone, with no hints, and drops must be the most precise. A miss only names the piece you hit.

Five quizzes. Ten questions a round.

On the whole world or one region you pick. Only your best score is kept.
