World Clue guide
How to play World Clue
World Clue is a daily geography game where you identify countries from curated clues, bonus questions, and map-based hints.
Goal
- Guess the 3 secret countries in the daily challenge.
- You begin each country with 3 starting hints.
Lives
- You have 6 lives for each country.
- Each guess, whether it is a country, region, or subregion, uses 1 life.
Each round
- Guess the country directly, or guess the region to narrow the possibilities.
- Answer the bonus question for a chance to unlock extra help without losing a life.
Round flow
- Once your guess is used and the bonus question is answered, the next round starts.
- New clues appear in each new round.
Win or lose
- If you solve the country or run out of lives, choose Next Country.
- You can choose Give Up to reveal the answer and finish the current country immediately.
Other modes
In addition to the daily game, World Clue includes a practice mode for custom rounds, a country explorer for browsing profiles, and a data explorer for comparing country fields.
