Nobody ever finished a 400-page travel guide. SweetCase is the guide you play. Answer real questions about how the world's cities actually work — how locals order coffee, what the metro signs mean, which dish never shows up on a local's table — and stamp your digital passport, one city at a time. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a city and travel down through its six chapters: Arrival & Orientation, Daily Life, Nightlife & Hidden Corners, Culture & Traditions, Day Trips & Beyond, and From Tourist to Local • Beat the gate that closes each chapter and earn its medal — six stamps per city, from wood all the way to diamond • Over 20 kinds of mini-game: drag landmarks onto a real map, match a city's festivals, spot the real local, untangle a crossword, bust myths in Urban Legends, and more • Keep your daily streak alive — and don't run out of lives • Challenge a friend on the same phone, or duel the Cup, in a 7-round Knowledge Battle WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • 26 cities across 6 continents, thousands of verified questions • Every fact comes from a public source and carries a verification date — no invented trivia • Climb the leaderboard: see how you rank among explorers worldwide and in your own country • 3 complete languages: English, Italiano, Español • 10 travel buddies to dress and travel with — starting with Sweet, the suitcase • Sign in with Google, Apple or email — your passport is backed up and follows you to a new phone • Play offline anywhere once you're in; your progress syncs when you're back online • No ads, no third-party tracking Whether you're preparing a trip, testing how well you really know your own city, or just collecting stamps for the joy of it — pack light, collect cities.
