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.
