Mapless (Lessgames)

About Mapless (Lessgames)

Mapless is one of the small daily games on Lessgames, alongside Songless, Moreless and Clueless. Its pitch is simple: you are dropped somewhere on earth with no map. You read the street, pin the spot and see how close you got.

Each day there is one challenge of five locations, the same for every player. For each one you study the street-level scene for clues such as signs, road markings, plants and buildings, then place a pin on a world map. The game shows the real spot and how far off you were, and your five results make the day's score, which you can compare with the global average.

Lessgames runs free in the browser, with an optional subscription.

It suits players of GeoGuessr-style games who want one short, fair daily round rather than endless play.
