Eight daily puzzles, printed fresh at midnight. Then cross the world one border at a time, race a friend across the islands, or see how far you can survive. Hemiscope is a daily edition, not an endless feed. The puzzles reset at midnight, everyone plays the same ones, and when you've finished the day's eight you're done. Come back tomorrow. NEW: EXPEDITION Your explorer starts somewhere in the world and crosses the map one border at a time. Every crossing costs tickets, earned from the daily puzzles, races and Survival runs. At each border a quick check asks about the country: its flag, its capital, how many people live there and one fact. Get two right for a bronze stamp, three for silver, all four for gold. Stamp every country on a continent, then sail on to the next. Fill your travel journal with stamps and postcards, pick explorers whose perks help you travel, and see how far your friends have got. Can you stamp all 192? TODAY'S EIGHT Hemiscope: Find the mystery country in six tries. Every guess tells you how far away it is and in which direction, plus its region, population, area, shared flag colours and whether it's landlocked. Your guesses light up on a 3D globe. Atlas: You're given a country. Tap where its capital sits on the globe. Five rounds, scored on how close you land. Timeline: Seven moments in history, one timeline. Drag each card to where you think it belongs. Three lives. Vault: Three riddles, three digits, one safe. Every riddle answers to a single digit, so answer them, turn the dial, and try the combination. Odd One Out: Four countries. Three of them belong. Tap the one that doesn't. Ladder: A handful of things, one correct order. The category changes daily: tallest mountains one day, biggest deserts the next. Pinpoint: One country, five scales. Place it on each and find out how close you were. No Idea: One impossible number a day, like how many islands Sweden has. You get one guess, and the closer you land, the higher you score. Every game is scored out of 100, and your report card shows how many of the eight you solved. Share how you did with your friends, without giving the answers away. DUEL: ISLAND RUSH Eight challenges, one shared clock, two phones. Answer faster and better than your rival to build golden shortcuts across the islands. Most steps down the course wins. Rounds mix trivia, flags, map drops, time shuffles and the vault dial. Tap Find a match to race whoever else is looking, race a friend live, or take on Hemibot at one of four difficulties. SURVIVAL: HIGHER OR LOWER Two countries, one stat. Is the next one higher or lower? Population, forests, coffee, Big Macs, and the calls get closer the further you walk down the canyon. Three lives and no end to the path. How far can you go? RACE YOUR FRIENDS Ranks puts you up against your friends in every game: today's puzzles, Duel wins, Survival and Expedition, with a fresh challenge each day. YOUR EXPLORER Every puzzle, race and run earns stars, and the daily chest on the home screen adds a few more. Spend them on explorers, banners, card frames and emotes, and earn medals and titles by playing. Your look travels with you onto your player card. TOURNAMENTS: ON THEIR WAY Live events where everyone plays the same rounds at the same moment, for stars and a place on the podium. Turn on tournament alerts to hear when one opens. Sign in with Apple is optional. You only need an account to add friends, duel them, join tournaments and see Ranks. The daily puzzles, Survival, Expedition, your stats and your streaks all work without one. Ads appear only on finished screens, never during play, and a single purchase removes them. Star packs are optional. Made by Kyro Game Studios.
