About
What Geographys is
Geographys is a home for map lovers, with three sides to it: games to play, a globe to explore and articles to read. It's for anyone who wants to know the world a little better, whether that's learning where every country is or finding out why a border bends where it does.
Every game has a free daily that everyone plays the same day, and a new one comes at your local midnight. Play it, compare scores with friends or on the leaderboard, and come back tomorrow. The Learn articles are free to read, and always will be.
What's in Learn
- Borders (323): The treaties, wars and surveys behind the lines on the map.
- Flags (24): National, regional, territorial and former flags, a line on each.
- Map oddities (59): Corridors, enclaves and tripoints: the shapes that make you look twice.
- Disputed places (47): Where the map depends on who you ask, and why.
- Capitals (32): Capitals that moved, and countries with more than one.
- Country shapes (27): Why a country is long and thin, wraps a river, or has a panhandle.
- Country lists (39): Every country that shares a trait, from landlocked to nuclear-armed.
- Autonomous regions (31): Regions with their own parliament, laws or language inside a bigger country.
- Place names (40): Why cities and countries changed what they're called.
- By the numbers (12): The longest borders, the most neighbours, the oddest clocks: the world counted from the map.
Where the data comes from
The borders are Natural Earth's, the populations the World Bank's and the UN's, and the cities GeoNames', with every dataset named on the credits page. A disputed border is marked as disputed, never settled quietly in one side's favour.
Who makes it
Geographys is built and run by one person, with puzzle ideas, corrections and map requests from the people who play it. Read more on the about page, or send feedback.
