One shared set each day
A new official set is published at midnight Eastern Time — that is, at midnight in America/New_York, including the switch between standard time and daylight time. The set is the same for every player. You may start later in the day and still finish that official round. Daily results and your streak stay in this browser; clearing site data will clear them.
The share at the end is meant to be safe to post. It includes the daily number, your total out of 500, five colored squares for the rarity bands, and an optional streak. It does not name the clues or the countries you pinned, so you can share a result without spoiling the day for someone who has not played yet.
What you do on the map
Read the clue, then click the map or search by name. We show which country you are about to submit so a mis-tap is not fatal. Lock in once; you cannot change that pin afterward. Valid pins score 10 to 100 points from a published population formula. Misses score 0. A perfect round is 500. From Daily #2 onward, you cannot pin the same country twice in one official round, and a miss still uses it up.
The map follows published territory rules: the 193 UN member states are in the country table; overseas territories score as the administering member; non-member and disputed areas cannot be locked in. Details live on How to play, and the points table lives on Scoring.
After the daily
If you want another five clues, Unlimited practice is available from day one. It uses Fartherle’s own clue bank, not a replay of the official daily, and it does not affect your streak. After each lock-in, in both modes, every valid country is colored by rarity and comes with a short fact, so the game is also a way to learn the map.
Fartherle is an independent daily geography game, with original clues and a public scoring rule. If you are looking for a rare-answer format, see our rare geography quiz page. If you want to practice less obvious countries in particular, see the obscure country quiz page. To play today’s official set, go to the daily.
A few things you might wonder
When does the daily geography game reset?
At midnight Eastern Time (America/New_York). The new set is the same for every player.
Is there a time limit?
No. You may take as long as you need, as long as you finish before the next daily is published if you want that day’s official result.
Can I play more than one official daily a day?
No. You have one official daily set. You can keep playing in Unlimited practice, which does not affect your streak.
Does the share reveal my answers?
No. It shows the daily number, your total out of 500, five colored squares, and an optional streak.
Do I need an account?
No.
