Name the day's hidden flag in six tries as its tiles open, in a desktop styled like a 1990s PC.

NewFlag a Day hides one country flag under six grey tiles each day. Every wrong guess opens a tile and tells you how far away and in which direction the answer lies. After the flag come short bonus rounds on the same country, and the site adds a daily outline, capital and landmark puzzle plus free flag quizzes.
About Flag a Day
Flag a Day is a free browser game built around one flag a day. The site launched on 30 October 2026 and numbers each puzzle from that date, so 8 November 2026 was Daily Flag #10. It is drawn as an old desktop computer, with a teal background, grey windows, a Start button and a red digital streak counter, and the flags themselves are redrawn as small pixel pictures.
The day's flag sits under a grid of six tiles. You type a country into the guess box and pick it from the list. A wrong answer opens one tile and shows the distance from your guess to the answer, an arrow pointing toward it and a percentage for how close you are. You have six tries. The answers come from the 193 UN member states plus Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo and Taiwan. Territories with their own flags can be guessed but are never the answer.
Once the flag is done, a short run of up to eight bonus rounds asks about the same country: its capital, its outline, where it is on a map, a neighbour, a landmark, its emblem, its population and currency, and its languages. A summary of the country closes the day. Your result can be shared as squares that never name the country.
The same site runs three more daily puzzles that reset at the same time. Daily Shape asks for a country from its outline in six tries. Daily Capital gives a capital city with a new clue after each miss. Daily Landmark shows a photo that zooms out with every miss. There is also an archive of past flags, flag quizzes for each continent and for US states, picture quizzes and an endless Higher or Lower game on population, area and wealth.
There are no accounts, no cookies and no ads. Stats and streaks live in your browser. A hard mode in the settings turns off suggestions, hints and distances. It suits anyone who likes flag puzzles and wants a calm daily round with more to do afterwards.

Tips
- Start with a large country in the middle of a continent. The arrow and distance then narrow the search quickly.
- Watch the colours in each opened tile. Two tiles are often enough to rule out most of a region.
- Past flags in the archive do not touch your streak, so they are a good place to practise.
Questions
When does a new flag appear?
At midnight on your own device's clock. A countdown at the foot of the page shows the time left.
Can a territory be the answer?
No. Territories with their own flag can be typed as guesses, but the daily answer is always one of the 193 UN members or Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo or Taiwan.
Do I need an account?
No. Your games, stats and settings are kept in your browser, and the site says it uses no cookies and shows no ads.
Can I play earlier days?
Yes. The archive lists every past daily flag. Playing one does not change your streak.
