Discover the world with Travlink!, the ultimate geographical puzzle game! In Travlink!, your goal is to name and link the countries you’d need to pass through on a journey from one country to another in the shortest route possible. As you play, you’ll navigate through unique rules: bridges and tunnels count, but exclaves and remote territories do not. Special connections like Ireland to the United Kingdom and Indonesia to the mainland via Malaysia add to the challenge. However, some direct connections like Russia to Poland via Kaliningrad and Spain to Morocco via Ceuta or Melilla are excluded. Travlink also includes disputed territories such as Somaliland and treats regions like French Guiana as separate entities. Travlink! – Explore the World

TimeGuessr is the game that challenges both your geography and history knowledge in one addictive experience. Using real historical photographs from around the world, your task is simple: guess when and where each photo was taken. Think you know your 1960s from your 1980s? Can you tell Paris from Prague just by a grainy street scene? Whether you're a casual player or a history buff, TimeGuessr will put your deduction skills to the test. Each photo is carefully selected, showcasing moments that span continents and centuries. Place a pin on the map to guess the location, choose the year, and see how close you were. The closer your guess, the more points you earn. New photos are added daily through the popular daily game mode, where players from around the world compete to get the highest score. You can also challenge your friends, compare your progress on the leaderboard, and even create your own shareable rounds. TimeGuessr is more than just a guessing game - it's a journey through time and place, blending curiosity, memory, and discovery in a way that keeps you coming back for more.
