Your daily dose of travel. Before a trip we read everything: we ask AI, we watch videos, we save lists of things to see. A week later? We remember almost nothing. Knowing a place is something else. It's knowing what to order and why, the story behind the square everyone photographs, the neighbourhood where locals go and tourists don't. It's something you build a little at a time, and it stays with you. That's where SweetCase comes in. Play a few minutes a day and the world stops being a list of sights: it becomes places you actually know. Learn it on the couch. Live it on the road. CITIES AND COUNTRIES • Pick a city or a country and travel through its chapters, from "Arrival & Orientation" to "Becoming a Local" • Beat the boss waiting at the end of every chapter and win its medal, from wood all the way to diamond • Stamp your passport as you go and watch your world fill up HOW YOU PLAY • Over 20 kinds of mini-game: find places on a real map, match festivals to their season, spot the real local, solve a crossword, bust myths in Urban Legends, and many more • Keep your daily streak alive: Sweet can remind you before your flame goes out, and a layover saves it on a day you miss • Challenge a friend face to face on the same phone, or train against one of the travel buddies, in a Knowledge Battle WITH FRIENDS • Climb the leaderboard: see how you rank worldwide and in your own country, and who keeps the longest flame alight • Follow other travellers and open their profile: the cities they've completed, their stamps, their companion • Follow each other and you're friends; share your profile with a link • Invite a friend and you both earn miles as they set off YOUR TRAVEL BUDDIES • 10 companions to travel with, starting with Sweet, the talking suitcase • Earn miles as you travel and spend them in the dressing room: hats, glasses, auras and onesies, from common to legendary THE DUTY FREE • Before you leave, open a travel guide: Barcelona, Paris, London and Milan, each with the essentials, what to see and eat, when to go, a phrasebook and how to live like a local WHY YOU CAN TRUST IT • Thousands of questions, each one checked against a public source and dated: no invented trivia • Fully available in English, Italiano and Español • Sign in with Apple, Google or email: your passport is backed up and follows you to a new phone • Play offline anywhere; your progress syncs when you're back online • No ads, no third-party tracking Planning a trip, testing how well you really know your own city, or just curious about the world?
