> WHAT IT IS_
GEOPUNK gives you one thing a day, per game: a mystery place and six guesses. Every guess you make comes back with the distance to the target, a compass direction, and a proximity percentage, so a wrong answer is still information. Guess the country from its outline, its flag, or its capital city, then do the same for the fifty US states. When the daily runs dry there's an endless mode for every game.
There is no account, no sign-up, no paywall, and no leaderboard chasing you. Your streak lives in your browser and nowhere else.
> THE ARCHIVE_
The games got people asking real questions, so we built the answer key. The country archive holds a dossier for each of the 198 playable countries: normalised shape outline, flag, capital with coordinates, population, area, languages, currencies, demonym, UN status, and every land border as a link to its neighbour. The state archive does the same for all 50 US states, and the world map lets you click your way around 242 mapped territories.
It is free, it never interrupts a puzzle in progress with an ad, and teachers are welcome to project it, link it, or assign it.
> WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM_
- »Boundaries: Natural Earth (public domain) and the US Census-derived US Atlas.
- »Country facts: world-countries.
- »Population: World Bank open data.

> WEB AND APP, SAME PUZZLE_
The web build and the mobile app share the same bundled drop schedules and the same local-midnight day maths, so the world dailies, shape, flag, capital, are the same country and the same drop number wherever you play them. Share grids copied from one work in a conversation about the other.
The mobile listings aren't public yet, the apps page has the details, and the web version is complete in the meantime.
> WHO BUILDS IT_
GEOPUNK is made by Disco Volante Labs, a small independent studio. The site is a static export, no servers, no database, no telemetry, hosted on a CDN, which is why it loads fast and asks you for nothing.
