What Fartherle offers
You pin a country on a world map, or search by name if a state is too small to tap. We show the name before you lock it in, and there is no countdown. After each lock, every valid country is colored on the map by rarity, with a short fact. Unlimited practice uses our own clue bank and is available on the first day — a full five-clue round, as often as you like.
Our scoring, published
Scores run from 10 to 100 using a population formula we publish in full. The band names are our own: Everyday, Familiar, Notable, Quiet, Hidden, and Overlooked. A perfect day is 500. A miss is 0.
| Band | Points | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 🟩 Overlooked | 85–100 | Tiny populations — the answers many players never think to try. |
| 🟦 Hidden | 70–84 | Small countries that sit off the usual mental map. |
| 🟨 Quiet | 55–69 | Mid-size countries. A sure pin here is worth more than a miss. |
| 🟧 Notable | 40–54 | Well-known enough, still not the first name in the room. |
| 🟪 Familiar | 25–39 | Countries most people can find without thinking. |
| 🟫 Everyday | 10–24 | The most populous countries — safe, and the lowest scores. |
| ⬜ Miss | 0 | Not a valid country for that clue. |
A perfect round is 500. A sure mid-tier answer beats gambling on an Overlooked country and scoring zero.
