v1.9.0 September 16, 2026
Major update
Living Atlas: the perfect game to learn the world
  • Your world map, lit one city at a time
    Every city you find in Discovery, Training, Daily Cities or Discovery Elo lights up on your personal atlas. You see exactly what you know, where your lights are fading, and where your next frontier lies.
  • Lights fade — a five-minute expedition keeps them lit
    Each city has a review date that stretches from one day to three months as you keep answering right. Revive the ones about to fade, learn new ones at your frontier and claim a landmark capital: spaced repetition does the scheduling, you just play.
  • Countries climb tiers — and can lose them
    Bronze at 3 lit cities, Silver at 10, Gold at 30, then Diamond, Ruby, Emerald and Hacker at 300. Let lights go out and a tier drops: the best reason to come back tomorrow.
  • Friends league, atlas streak and a shareable card
    Compare weekly expedition points with your friends, protect your atlas streak and share a card of your lit world. Play as a guest right away; sign in to keep your atlas on every device.

Major update
Discovery challenges available

  • Challenge a friend under the same conditions
    The link preserves the mode, duration, world selection, dataset version, and validation rules. The timer starts only after pressing Start.

    At the finish, both scores appear side by side. The challenged player can then create a rematch with the roles reversed.
