Geography games for people who think they know where things are.
GeoProwl is a free collection of geography games that test how well you actually know your maps. Just you, a map, and the creeping realization that you confused Slovenia with Slovakia again.
Ten US states, three cryptic clues each, one shot per day. Clues are generated from real government data — census stats, farm reports, public health metrics — then run through an AI that turns numbers into riddles. Same puzzle for everyone, resets at midnight UTC. It's Wordle meets geography class, minus the grade anxiety.
All 50 US states, random order, 10 seconds each. A state name appears, you click it on the map. No clues, no hints, no mercy. Pure reflex geography. Great for settling arguments about whether you actually know where Nebraska is.
Same drill, different continent. 39 European countries, 8 seconds each. Micro-states too small to click (sorry, Liechtenstein) are excluded. Turkey, Cyprus, and Russia sit this one out for being geographically indecisive.
After you finish a Just States or Europe game, your results are saved anonymously. We track your score, which countries/states you got right or wrong, and how fast you clicked. That's it. No email, no account, no cookies that follow you around the internet.
The stats pages show aggregate data across all players: score distributions (are you above average?), hardest locations (the ones everyone gets wrong), and easiest locations (the gimmes). Your browser gets a random anonymous ID stored in localStorage — if you clear your browser data, your stats start fresh.
