How it works
A map that remembers with you
01
Every city you learn lights up
Cities found in Discovery, Training, Daily Cities and Discovery Elo appear on your atlas automatically.
02
Lights fade with time
Each city has a review date that stretches from one day to three months as you keep answering correctly. Past its date it fades; long past, it goes dark — until you light it again.
03
One expedition a day
Revive fading cities, learn new ones in the country closest to its next tier, and claim a landmark capital. Bonus rounds let you revive more.
04
Hold your tiers
Countries earn Bronze at 3 lit cities, Silver at 10, Gold at 30, Diamond at 50, Ruby at 75, Emerald at 100 and Hacker at 300 — and lose them when lights go out.
