DailyMetro Madrid

DailyMetro is a set of free browser games, one per city, made by Eliott, an engineer who builds them in his spare time. The Madrid edition covers Metro de Madrid. Its main page is in Spanish, and the same game is at /madrid/en in English.

Each day has one hidden station and a day number, the same for everyone; a new station is drawn at midnight Madrid time. You start with any station you like and have 8 guesses. For each guess the board shows four clues: the lines it is on, an arrow pointing from your guess toward the target, the number of letters in its name with an arrow for longer or shorter, and its area, such as Centro or Retiro. Each clue turns green for a match, orange for a partial match or red for a miss. At the fourth guess the game shows you the line, and a button lets you give up and look at the map.

The day has three rounds side by side: Classic, Map, where you place the station on the network map, and Photo, where you recognise a station from a picture of its entrance. On the first visit the game asks for Normal or Connoisseur; Connoisseur swaps in harder clues. A streak counter, statistics and a list of past days to replay sit at the top of the page, and no account is needed.

It suits Madrid locals and transit fans who know the network by heart, as well as visitors who want to learn it one station at a time.
