Sample gameplay

Here is a sample gameplay. Based on first two guesses, the actual name should start alphabetically between M and T.

• Continent - Continent on which this country is located
• Area level - Tiny(0-10K), small, medium, large(500K+) sq. miles
• Population level - Tiny(0-1M), small, medium, large(50M+)
• Hemisphere - NE(Northern & Eastern), NW, SE, SW

• A Blue guessed name is alphabetically lower than the actual name. Go higher (towards Z) for next guess.
• Red guessed name is alphabetically higher. Go lower (towards A) for next guess.
• A Green guessed name means actual Country has this same 1st letter. Guess another name with same letter.
• Black letters reveal no clues. You can ignore them.
• Correct Country is revealed after 7th try (or if you lose or match or give up early).

• Type first 3 letters (4 letters in Pro mode) of the guessed name. Don't type more than 6 letters if you wish to use autocomplete.
• Wait for the dropdown list of matching names to appear. In couple seconds, you will see a dropdown list of matching names.
• Choose a matching name from the displayed list.
• If there are no matching names, nothing would show up. In that case, please try a different spelling or another name.

Here is a autocomplete sample.

• Share the face-off link with others so that they can join the game. Link expires in 15 minutes.
• Everyone who plays using the shared face-off link gets the same hidden name to guess. See who can guess it better.
• Your time starts when you make the first guess. You don't have to start at the same time as others.
• Each player can play the face-off game in the difficulty mode they choose. For example one player can play it in Practice mode while the other can play Pro mode.
• Compare your score with others to see who won the face-off.

🥚 Egg is a sign that you missed to heed a previously revealed clue. It could be either a name clue (highlighted letters) or attribute match clue.

There is a max limit on how many eggs you can have before you lose in each level. Try to make the most of the clues - avoid getting many eggs. More eggs you get, lesser you score even if you win.

For example, if first letter of the name you guessed is highlighted blue M and your next guess starts with G, then you'll get an egg for that. Blue letters are colder and you are supposed to go warmer/higher/later (towards Z).

• Level 1 - Practice level - max 10 eggs
• Level 2 - Play level - max 7 eggs
• Level 3 - Pro level - no eggs
