Squint

Squint gives you one city a day and three photos of it. Each photo is obscured in its own way: one is a crop of the scene, one is pixelated and one is blurred. On a desktop the three sit stacked beside the guess box; on a phone you swipe between them, and any of them opens full screen so you can zoom in and pan around, looking for a skyline, a sign, a style of building or a stretch of coast that gives the place away.

You have five guesses, typed and picked from a list of cities. Every wrong guess makes all three photos clearer and unlocks a hint, such as the continent. Your guess also shows a distance band, for example 1,250 to 2,500 km, and an arrow pointing toward the answer, so a miss still narrows the map. When the round ends the full photo is shown with its credit, your guesses, a Copy result button and a countdown to the next city.

Squint arrived in the NomadMates app for iOS and Android in August 2026, and the same round is free on the web with no account. In the app you can also go back to a day you missed and keep a streak. The round follows your own calendar date, so it changes at midnight where you are. It suits players who like photo geography games such as WhereTaken or Citle and want a city rather than a country.
