Compass Rift: a daily geography game

Every day, your ship sails a real sea route and makes five stops. At each stop you read a clue about a real place: a city, a sea, an island, a river or a famous building. Tap the world map where you think it is. The closer you are, the more points you get.

At the end, guess where the ship is going. Find a place well and it goes into your Atlas, a world map that fills in day by day.

How to play

  1. Read the clue for the stop.
  2. Tap the map where you think the place is.
  3. Get up to 1,000 points for each stop, and 200 more if you tap inside the right country.
  4. Answer well many times in a row to multiply your points.
