Compass Sniper Real landmarks. Real bearings. Real fun. Do you know which direction Tokyo is right now? What about the Pyramids of Giza? Compass Sniper is a geography game that uses your phone's real compass to challenge your sense of direction. Point toward a famous landmark, tap when you're on target, and see how close you really are. No map. No hints. Just instinct. TWO WAYS TO PLAY SPRINT — 60 seconds to hit as many landmarks as you can. Accuracy matters: the closer your bearing, the higher your score. Quick, satisfying, and perfect for a spare minute. SURVIVAL — One landmark at a time, no time pressure. But stay sharp: stray more than 15° off course and your streak ends. How far can you go? EXPLORE THE WORLD FROM WHERE YOU STAND Every bearing is calculated from your real location. With 2,000+ landmarks across every continent, from local icons to remote wonders, no two sessions feel the same. CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD Compare your scores locally, regionally, or globally. Filter by all time or this week, and see where you stand among players around the world. Whether you're a geography enthusiast, a curious traveler, or just looking for something fun between stops, Compass Sniper will make you see the world differently.
