GeoPreneur
Pin where famous companies and founders started, five questions a day.
Every day: Five numbered questions a day, the same for everyone, about where tech and business stories happened: pin each place on a map and score up to 1,000 points by distance. New puzzle: Midnight local time.
GeoPreneur asks five questions a day about the places behind entrepreneurship and technology, such as where a company was founded or where it is based today. You drop a pin on the map, score by how close you land, and read a short story about the answer.
About GeoPreneur
GeoPreneur is a daily geography and trivia game about the places behind business and technology. Each day it asks five questions, such as where a company was founded or where it is based now, and you answer by dropping a pin on a world map.
The five questions are numbered and the same for everyone that day (the live game was GeoPreneur #003). For each one you place a pin where you think the place is, and you score by how close you land: the nearer your pin to the real spot, the more points. After you answer, a short story fills in what happened there.
It mixes map-guessing with startup and tech history, so a round is as much about knowing where companies and founders come from as about geography. The game is credited on the page to a maker who signs it Leo, and it needs no account.
It suits people who follow technology and business and enjoy map-pin games. It runs in the browser and is free.
How to play GeoPreneur
- Open geopreneur.fun and press Play to start the day's five questions.
- Read each question about a company, founder or tech story and the place it asks for.
- Drop a pin on the world map where you think that place is.
- Submit to score by how close your pin is, then read the short story about the answer.
- Work through all five questions; a new numbered set arrives each day.
Tips
- Many tech companies cluster in a few hubs, such as the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, New York, London and Bangalore; start there when you are unsure.
- Read the question closely: it often names or hints at a country or city before you pin.
- A company's founding place and its current headquarters can differ, so check which one the question wants.
- Even a rough pin scores something, so always place your best estimate rather than leaving it blank.
