How GeoFootball works

The basics

• Five new football questions everyday. Takes 60 seconds to play.
• Questions cover World Cups, famous stadiums, clubs and players.
• For each football question, tap the spot on the map where you believe it happened.
• The nearer your tap lands to the true spot, the better your shot.
• Fresh questions arrive daily at midnight UTC.
• Everyone plays the same five questions on the same day, so totals are directly comparable.

How to play

• 1 Question = 1 Shot.
• 5 Questions = 5 Shots = 1 shootout.
• Total game is for 500 points — 100 points per question.
• How your shots are scored

• Calculated distances are straight-line approximate values, rounded to the nearest kilometre.
• Counting your shootout
• Points win. Most points takes the day.
• The max is 500 points from five shots. That is the perfect shootout.
• Sharing and streak
• Every shot adds its points straight to your total.
• Your total is out of 500 points. Share your score card with friends and challenge them.
• Play daily to maintain your streak.

Colours and dots

• The dot colour shows what that shot scored.

Streaks

• Your streak tracks consecutive 7 days played.
• Miss a day and it drops back to zero.

The leaderboard

• You see the day's top 50 players.
• Your own row stays pinned at the top even when you sit outside the top 50.
• When two players would share a name, the second gets a number on the end (for example Mark, Mark2).

Your profile

• Open your profile in menu for a 7-day played details of your daily totals.
• Your profile shows total games played, best score, streak and last 7 days played games.

Tips

• Pinch to zoom and drag to pan around the map.
• A single tap locks in your guess. There is no submit button.
• Changed your mind mid-tap? Drag a little before lifting your finger. Tiny slides count as a pan, not a guess.
• Refresh halfway through if you must. Your round is saved.

Inspiration

• GeoFootball is heavily inspired by MapTap, a daily geography game we love. Go play it too.
