CrossMapQuest

CrossMapQuest is one of a family of daily quiz games by the developer known as C3-Peyo, alongside TerraeQuest, StatesQuest, AtomixQuest, HistoriaQuest and HeatmapQuest. Its daily puzzle has five rounds, and each round shows two criteria at the foot of the screen. The left one is a fixed fact, such as bordering Germany, being an island or being a monarchy. The right one puts the country in the top or bottom share of the world on a statistic, such as median age, coffee drunk per person, air pollution, broadband subscriptions or population.

You answer by clicking a country on a 3D globe that you can rotate and zoom. You have five attempts per round, and each wrong pick costs a star. A correct answer scores more the fewer players chose it, in six rarity tiers from Frequent to Untraceable. After the round the globe shows your pick, your wrong picks and every other country that would have fitted.

The data comes from Wikipedia and other public sources, and the site notes that some values are approximate. Countries with no data for a criterion are marked on the globe. The game keeps streaks, trophies and a leaderboard, and an optional free account carries them across devices. The last seven days can be replayed from the archive, without points, and leagues let you compare scores with friends or colleagues. A weekly Survival mode, with a timer and lives, opens every Wednesday.

It suits players of GeoGrid and GeoRiddle who like matching countries to two conditions, and anyone who enjoys country statistics. The game can be played in English or French.
