## What is Fingerpost?

Fingerpost is the geography game that's harder than it looks.

A hidden city sits at the center of the compass. Around it, real cities point toward it at their true bearings — each with its distance and flag. Read the angles, triangulate, and name the city in the middle.

• Daily challenge — one puzzle a day, the same for everyone
• Weekly challenge — a tougher round every week
• Practice — play endlessly with no pressure
• Four modes — City, Capital, Country, and Country Cities
• 7 tries, decaying points — each guess narrows it down, and Hint reveals an extra clue on demand
• Speed & streak bonuses — answer fast and keep your daily streak alive
• Challenge friends — send the exact same round and compare scores
• Native spellings welcome — type Köln, Wien, Praha, or just plain ASCII
• Fully offline. Light & dark mode.

How well do you really know the map? Read the angles.

### 5/5 — Lovely

*2026-07-05*

Great game, educational, fun, addictive. I would highly recommend adding a game mode for learning country flags. And also maybe a similar version for states within a country. Would be amazing for countries like Indonesia, India, US.

### 5/5 — For all the geo nerds a must game to play
