How GeoFootball works
The basics
- Five new football questions everyday. Takes 60 seconds to play.
- Questions cover World Cups, famous stadiums, clubs and players.
- For each football question, tap the spot on the map where you believe it happened.
- The nearer your tap lands to the true spot, the better your shot.
- Fresh questions arrive daily at midnight UTC.
- Everyone plays the same five questions on the same day, so totals are directly comparable.
How to play
- 1 Question = 1 Shot.
- 5 Questions = 5 Shots = 1 shootout.
- Game is for 1 shootout each day.
- How your shots are scored
- How far your tap lands from the true spot decides your result:
- ≤100 km, GOAL.
- ≤500 km, SAVED - the keeper got a hand to it.
- Beyond 500 km, MISS.
- Calculated distances are straight-line approximate values, rounded to the nearest kilometre.
- Counting your shootout
- Goals win. Level goals are split by total closeness - nearer taps win ties.
- The max you can score is: five goals in five shots = 5/5. That is the perfect shootout.
- Bonus, sharing and streak
- Once you complete all questions, you get a bonus 100x multiplier.
- Your goals x 100 = Final score (max 500). You can share your score card with your friends and challenge them.
- Play daily to maintain your streak.
Colours and dots
- The dot colour shows what that shot scored.
- Green - GOAL
- Yellow - SAVED
- Grey - MISS
Streaks
- Your streak tracks consecutive 7 days played.
- Miss a day and it drops back to zero.
The leaderboard
- You see the day's top 50 players.
- Your own row stays pinned at the top even when you sit outside the top 50.
- When two players would share a name, the second gets a number on the end (for example Mark, Mark2).
Your profile
- Open your profile in menu for a 7-day played details of your daily totals.
- Your profile shows total games played, best score, streak and last 7 days played games.
Tips
- Pinch to zoom and drag to pan around the map.
- A single tap locks in your guess. There is no submit button.
- Changed your mind mid-tap? Drag a little before lifting your finger. Tiny slides count as a pan, not a guess.
- Refresh halfway through if you must. Your round is saved.
Inspiration
- GeoFootball is heavily inspired by MapTap, a daily geography game we love. Go play it too.
