About Atlas (Hemiscope)
Atlas tests where things are, not what they are called. Each numbered daily has five rounds, the same for every player. In each one you are shown a country and must tap the position of its capital on a 3D globe.
Your tap is scored by its distance from the real capital, up to 100 points a round and 500 for the day. After each round you see where the capital really is.
It is one of the daily games on Hemiscope, a free collection of short geography, history, logic and ranking puzzles that also includes Timeline, Vault, Ladder and Flip. Each game gets a new puzzle every midnight. You can play in the browser or in the free iPhone app, which adds live duels against friends, an endless Survival mode and explorers to collect with stars earned from the puzzles.
It suits players of Blind Globe and Globle: Capitals who want to place capitals directly on a globe.
