WELCOME, EXPLORER

Good guesses.
Great rivalries.

  1. 01

    Bring your friends. Or go solo.

    Play with 2–5 people: pick a name and share your room’s six-character code or link. Solo practice needs no name. Choose a category, timer and country borders or coastlines only.

  2. 02

    Five places. One world.

    Everyone gets the same place and country clue, with a state or province for cities where relevant. Drag the globe to rotate, pinch to zoom, drop a pin, then lock it in before time runs out.

  3. 03

    Get closer. Learn something.

    Up to 100 points per location and 500 per game, based only on distance. There’s no speed bonus. An unlocked pin scores zero. Multiplayer continues after 15 seconds, or sooner when everyone is ready. Solo continues at your pace. Tap Play again after the last round to stay together for five new places.

Keyboard: focus the map, use arrow keys to move a pin, + / − to zoom, and Enter to place it. Shift + arrows makes smaller adjustments. Maps and nearest-town feedback are approximate. Globe geography: Natural Earth.

Pinrival is an independent game, inspired by geography guessing games. Not affiliated with MapTap. Your name and guesses are kept in your room for up to 24 hours after its last activity.
