DailyMetro Rennes

DailyMetro is a set of free browser games, one per city, made by Eliott, an engineer who builds them in his spare time. The Rennes edition, one of the newest cities on the site, covers the STAR network: the two VAL metro lines A and B and the seven Chronostar high-frequency bus lines C1 to C7. Its main page is in French, and the same game is at /rennes/en in English.

Each day has one hidden station and a day number, the same for everyone; a new station is drawn at midnight Rennes 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 zone. 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 history of past days to replay sit at the top of the page, and no account is needed.

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