Place Pin

How to play

1. 1Study the cropped photo clue before any written hints appear.
2. 2Type a landmark, place, or nearby city as your guess.
3. 3After a miss, read the distance from your guessed place, direction, signal score, and unlocked hint.
4. 4Find the place in six guesses, start a practice place, or create a multiplayer room with a selected number of rounds.

Rules

• The daily photo puzzle is the same for everyone on the same day.
• You get up to 6 guesses.
• Stored landmarks, major cities, and countries show distance and direction.
• Only the landmark name or a direct landmark alias solves the photo; city and country guesses are clue pins.
• Unrecognised or misspelled entries do not use a pin, reveal the photo, or unlock a hint.
• Practice places are extra rounds and do not replace the daily puzzle.
• Multiplayer rooms support 2 to 12 players, two-minute rounds, and three pins per player per round.

Scoring

• A correct landmark guess solves the photo puzzle immediately.
• Wrong guesses show the distance in kilometers from your guess to the answer.
• The best score rewards the closest guess so far, and each guess is labeled from cold start to pinpoint.
• A 100 signal score means your pin is on top of the place; only landmark names solve it.
• In multiplayer, exact answers are worth up to 1,000 points and close wrong pins can still score up to 800 points.

Tips and strategy

• Look for small details: landscape, materials, skyline, water, weather, and architecture.
• Treat the direction clue as an instruction for your next guess.
• Watch the distance board: warmer means your last pin moved closer than the previous one.
• The answer dropdown is intentionally off so the puzzle is not solved by browsing the list.
