About

Border Chain is a geography game built around one idea: you learn a map by using it, not by reading a list. Eight ways to play, all on the same world map. Map Hunt — find a country on the map. Tap it. No options to guess between. Geo Guess — name the country that's highlighted. Guess the Flag — whose flag is this? Flag Match — pick a country's flag out of four. Capitals — name the capital city. Border Chain — cross land borders from one country to the next, Portugal to Poland one neighbour at a time. Neighbor Rush — name everything that touches a country. Alphabet Rush — every country starting with one letter, against the clock. Your world fills in as you play Every country you meet is coloured on your own map, and the colour deepens as you get it right in more than one way. Recognising a shape isn't the same as knowing a flag, so a country only counts as known once you've placed it two different ways, and mastered at three. The dashboard breaks it down by continent and by country, and 22 achievements mark the milestones. Built to be played, not endured Rounds of ten, so a session has a shape and an end. Type your answer or choose from four — your call, per mode. Spelling mistakes are forgiven. "Kirgistan" is right; you're learning geography, not orthography. Country names are always in English, so answers don't change with your phone's language. Borders on or off, per mode — the map is much harder without them. Hints when you want them, never forced. Nothing repeats until you've seen everything else. Entirely offline No account. No sign-in. No internet permission at all — check it yourself in Settings. Nothing you do leaves your phone, because there is nowhere for it to go. Country outlines come from Natural Earth, a public-domain map dataset. Capitals come from Wikidata. Both are bundled with the app. 198 countries. However well you think you know them, Alphabet Rush on "M" will tell you otherwise.

What's New in Geography games & Border Chain

2.0

September 5, 2026

A new map engine and new modes. Smoother panning and zooming, sharper coastlines, and small countries that are actually findable. Islands that used to vanish — Greece's, Indonesia's, the Caribbean — are all drawn now. Your world map. Every country you play is coloured by how well you know it, from met to mastered, and a country only counts as known once you've got it right in more than one mode. Drill into any continent or any single country to see where you stand. 22 achievements, across exploring, knowledge, regions and playing. Rounds of ten. Sessions have a beginning and an end instead of running until you stop. Three new modes — Capitals, Guess the Flag and Flag Match — bringing it to eight. Kinder answer checking. Typos are forgiven now, scaled to the length of the word, and alternative spellings are accepted. Capitals with more than one official answer accept all of them. Fixes throughout. Wrong answers no longer read as if they were right. The keyboard gets out of the way. Hints update when you switch between typing and choosing. Nothing repeats until the pool is exhausted. Round summaries can be dismissed so you can look at the finished board. Better map data. Rebuilt from Natural Earth 5.1.1 with more accurate coastlines, and the app is smaller than before rather than larger. Difficulty describes the puzzle, not the country. The old tiers ranked countries by how "well known" they were, which depends entirely on where you live. That's gone.
