Atlas Hero is the geography game you play with your friends and the whole world. No boring quizzes, no lists to memorise: draw, pin, guess and challenge. It's a fun update for the Four round types • Draw the Border: see a country's shape for a few seconds, draw it from memory, then compare your drawing with the real border. • Pin It: where is this country? Drop a pin on the world map and score by how close you land to its border. • Pick the Flag: four flags from the same continent, and speed counts. • Higher or Lower: two countries, which has more people or more land? Four ways to play • Today's Country: one country for every player in the world each day. Keep your daily streak and climb the worldwide leaderboard. • Friend rooms: create a room and share its code or link on WhatsApp. Everyone plays the same rounds within 24 hours, and after each round you see your friends' drawings, pins and picks. • World Arena: a mix of ten rounds that refreshes every 12 hours, with a global ranking every time. • Your Atlas: a solo journey through 190 countries. Earn three stars on a country to collect its card, and compete on the worldwide stars board. Build your character Design your own avatar: face, hair, outfit and accessories, and pin the badges you earn on it. Track your stats, collect more than twenty badges, and rise through the ranks from Tourist to Explorer, Navigator and Cartographer until you become an Atlas Hero. Share your moments Ready-made share cards in post and story sizes: your result with your drawing and pin, your room standings, your stats and the cards you collect. Share them to WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok in one tap. Fair hints Earn gold by playing and spend it on hints that help you learn: a peek at the border, removing two flags, or a hint for where the country is. Hints level the field, they never buy the win. Free to play, in English and Arabic, on iPhone and iPad. This game was previously known as Country in 4 Pics, and it is back with a completely new style. Do you know the shape of your own country's border? Get Atlas Hero and find out.
