How to play Sports Map Daily
Every day there are five questions for that day’s sport. Each one has a real place as its answer: a venue, a birthplace, a city. Tap where you think it is on the globe. That is your guess, there is no submit button.
Scoring
The closer your tap, the more points, up to 100 per question. Later questions are worth more: the five questions are multiplied by 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, so a perfect round is 1,000.
| Distance off | Points (×1) | |
|---|---|---|
| 0 miles | 100 | 🎯 |
| 30 miles | 99 | 🟢 |
| 150 miles | 93 | 🟢 |
| 500 miles | 82 | 🟡 |
| 1,000 miles | 71 | 🟡 |
| 2,000 miles | 58 | 🟡 |
| 3,000 miles | 50 | 🟡 |
| 5,000 miles | 41 | 🔴 |
For a country or state, tapping anywhere inside it scores the full 100. Outside it, you are scored by the distance to its nearest edge.

Every day, the same round
A new round goes live at 00:00 UTC (1am in the UK during summer time, 5am in Pakistan, 5:30am in India). Everybody gets the same five questions, so you can compare scores with friends. Play on consecutive days to build a streak.
