DailyMetro Montreal

DailyMetro is a family of free browser games, one per city, made by Eliott Gandiolle, an independent developer in Paris. The Montreal edition covers the four STM metro lines (green 1, orange 2, yellow 4 and blue 5) across Montreal, Laval and Longueuil. It opens in French at /montreal and has an English version at /montreal/en.

Each day has one hidden station and a day number, the same for everyone, and a new one is drawn at midnight Montreal 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 more or fewer, and its borough or area. Each clue turns green for a match, orange for a partial match or red for a miss. After your first guess a short key explains what each colour told you, and at guess 4 the game shows you the line.

After Classic come two more rounds on the same station: Map, where you place it on the network plan, and Photo, where you name it from a picture of its entrance. Normal difficulty gives hints, while Connoisseur swaps in harder clues such as distance, traffic and name origin. Past days can be replayed, a streak counter tracks your run, and no account is needed.

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