INSET

INSET has one gesture. A country appears on a map of a region it does not belong to, South Korea over Central America or Tanzania over Western Europe, drawn at the wrong size. You drag up to make it bigger and down to make it smaller, judging it against the countries around it, and submit. It then snaps to its real size and the game tells you how far off you were, gives its real area and names a country on that map of about the same size.

The maps are drawn so that area is true anywhere on the globe, so the only thing working against you is the stretched world map most people grew up with. Each round scores up to 1000 points on how close your area was; being out by a tenth still scores near 800. There is one go per round.

The daily is five rounds, about a minute in all, and it changes at midnight UTC. Everyone in the world gets the same five countries, one map per continent where the day allows it. A country rests at least nine days before it can come back. Pick a name to see where your day lands on the scoreboard, worldwide or within your own country.

INSET is made by Med Services Ltd and came out in September 2026. It can be played in the iPhone app or on its website, with no sign-in, email, account or ads. Country outlines come from Natural Earth and cover the mainland and nearby islands.
