JigsawGeo 3.0 — the whole game now plays on a real, spinnable 3-D globe. No more flat Mercator map stretching Greenland to the size of Africa. Countries sit at their true size, true shape, and true distance apart, exactly as they do on the planet. Spin the globe, zoom in, and put the world back together. Drag a puzzle piece to where you think it belongs — or just double-tap the spot. Beat the clock, earn a high score, and learn world geography without it ever feeling like studying. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNTS. NO TRACKING. Free to download with two complete maps included. Every other map is a one-time in-app purchase — never a subscription, never an advertisement. Safe to hand to a kid. SPIN, ZOOM, EXPLORE • Drag one finger to rotate the globe; flick it to send it spinning • Pinch to zoom — from the whole planet down to a single island • Built on a full geographic database, so the tiny islands, peninsulas and inlets that other map games quietly leave out are all here • Oceans, seas, lakes and place names fill in around your puzzle as you play • Optional latitude and longitude grid • Portrait or landscape, iPhone or iPad, light mode or dark SIX LEVELS OF PLAY Finish a level to unlock the next one. • Traveler — a gentle start: the globe glides toward the right spot for you, and the smallest regions sit this one out • Surveyor — place regions by name, with a sonar ping to guide you • Explorer — place regions by name, no hints • Navigator — place regions by the name of their capital city • Discoverer — place regions by their flag alone • Cartographer — pinpoint the capital city inside its own region MORE THAN 25 MAPS • Continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Oceania, Middle East • The World: 207 countries on one globe • Single countries in detail: United States (51 states), Japan (47 prefectures), India (35 states and union territories), Mexico (32 states), China (31 provinces), France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Canada, Australia • Around the water: Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Caribbean Sea • Through history: the British Empire, the Former Soviet Union • Value packs bundle whole sets for less COMPETE AND LEARN • Game Center leaderboards for every map — see where you land against players worldwide • Your best time tracked for every map and every level • Two narrator voices read each region and capital aloud as you play • Plays in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese • Works completely offline — no signal needed on the road FOR CLASSROOMS AND KITCHEN TABLES Teachers, homeschoolers and map lovers have used JigsawGeo for years to make continents, capitals and flags stick. The globe makes the lesson obvious: why Africa is far bigger than it looks, why Russia is not, and how close some countries really are to each other. Bought maps on another device?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flag Arena at none against JigsawGeo's 13. Flag Arena also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). JigsawGeo's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

JigsawGeo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flag Arena has 60 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of JigsawGeo's written reviews are positive against 92% of Flag Arena's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JigsawGeo ships an update every 2 months, Flag Arena every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and July 26, 2026 respectively.
