Blind Globe round 1 of 3 in play: a blank grey globe with the reference city Antananarivo marked, the city to find (Shanghai) and a Hint 1 (-500pts) button above, and a difficulty gauge at 6 of 10

Blind Globe gives you three cities a day to pin on a blank 3D globe. Each round starts with a reference city already marked, and you place your guess by judging direction and distance from it. Up to two hints a round help, at a cost in points.

About Blind Globe

Blind Globe is a daily geography game played on a plain grey globe with only latitude and longitude lines: no land, borders or names until you confirm a guess. Each day it picks three cities, one each from an easy, a medium and a hard list, the same for every player.

At the start of each round a reference city is pinned in green. You rotate and zoom the globe and click where you think the target city is, then confirm; the real Earth then appears with your pin and the city marked. Points depend on distance, with 5,000 for a guess within 50 km. If you are stuck you can take up to two hints per round; the first costs 500 points and the second 2,000.

The game keeps your games played, high score and average score in the browser, and a short tutorial explains the rules. It suits players of Globle or Worldle who know the shapes of countries and want to test how well they can place cities without any lines to help.

Tips

  • Use the reference city to judge direction first, then distance.
  • The grid lines are your only landmarks: count the lines of latitude and longitude from the reference city toward the target.
  • A perfect guess needs to be within 50 km, so zoom in before you click.
