Country Cruiser
Read full descriptionHide full description
The world is the puzzle. Country Cruiser is four world-geography games for people who already know where Burkina Faso is โ and want to get faster, sharper, and a little smug about it. โ ONE MYSTERY EVERY DAY โ Detective gives you a blurred country and a single clue. Six guesses to crack it. Each miss sharpens the shape and reveals another clue โ a city, a river, a national dish, a record-holding mountain. Same puzzle for everyone, every day, like the geography game your group chat has been waiting for. โ THREE FAST GAMES โ NAME IT. A country's silhouette, or just its flag. Six guesses with distance and compass-bearing feedback on every miss. If you like Worldle, you'll recognize the moves. FINDER. Pick a continent. We name a country. You tap it on the map. Or we show its flag and you tap that. Miss too many and we start dropping facts until the answer feels obvious. FACTS. "Home of the Atacama Desert." Find it on the map. Another fact lands every few seconds โ the longer you stall, the more the country tells you about itself. โ WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT โ โข Real coordinates. Every guess is graded by actual great-circle distance and a real compass bearing โ not a fuzzy "close enough." โข Facts that aren't a Wikipedia dump. Cities, rivers, sports, food, wildlife, records, culture โ hand-picked, one-line clues that read like trivia, not homework. โข Every country, every continent. Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, Oceania. Pinch to zoom. Drag to pan. Learn the shapes the slow way โ by playing. โข No accounts. No tracking. Your daily streak lives on your phone, not on someone else's server. Free, with ads. iPhone and iPad. Requires iOS 15 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Country Cruiser at every 10 days against School Basics's every 4 months. School Basics's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
