What is WorldClue?
WorldClue is a multiplayer geography guessing game. Each round shows a clue and you drop a pin on a 3D globe to guess where in the world it belongs. The closer your pin, the more points you score.
Is WorldClue free to play?
Yes. Creating an account is free and you can play solo, multiplayer and ranked rounds without paying. Optional cosmetics and extras never affect scoring or fairness.
Do I need an account to play?
You can browse the homepage and learn about the game without an account, but you'll need a free account to start a round, play with friends, enter ranked mode, or save your progress.
How does scoring work?
Your score is based on distance. A pin right on the true location earns the maximum points; a guess in the same region still scores well; a guess on the wrong continent earns very little.
What is Ranked Mode?
Ranked Mode is competitive play. Wins and strong performances earn RP and move you up the ranks. Each season resets and offers exclusive rewards for climbing the ladder.
Can I play with friends?
Absolutely. Add friends, create or join private multiplayer rooms, and compare your scores on the leaderboards.
What are coins and cosmetics?
Coins are an in-game currency you earn by playing. You can spend them in the shop on cosmetic items like avatars, frames and pin skins. Cosmetics are purely visual and never give a gameplay advantage.
What devices does WorldClue work on?
WorldClue runs in your web browser on desktop, tablet and mobile — no download required.
