Geopolitix: the daily country-ranking game

Geopolitix is a free daily country-ranking game: five countries, one stat, get the order right. Every day you play five rounds; in each one you drag five countries into the right order for a single theme, from GDP, population and land area to alcohol, tea, working hours, Olympic medals, average height and trust in others, over 20 real-world stats in rotation.

You score up to 1000 points a day (30 per exact placement, 10 per near miss, 50 per perfect round) and share a colour-coded grid of your result. One puzzle per day, the same five-country line-ups for everyone, so scores are comparable with friends.

How to play

  1. Every day has five rounds. Each round shows five countries and one theme: GDP, population, land area, life expectancy, rainfall, alcohol, tea, working hours, Olympic medals, average height, trust in others and more.
  2. Drag the countries into the order the theme asks for, for example most to least populous, or longest to shortest working hours.
  3. Lock in your ranking to reveal the real values: green means the exact right spot, orange means one position off, red means further away.
  4. Each exactly placed country scores 30 points, a near miss (one spot off) scores 10, and every all-green round adds a 50-point bonus, up to 1000 points a day. Ties break on total time, and each round links to its data source.
  5. Come back tomorrow for five new themes and new country line-ups. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day, so scores are shareable.
