Good games start with good sources.

Our questions are generated from open geographic data. The country collection uses 193 UN members and two observer states.

World Development Indicators · 2023

The World Bank · CC BY 4.0 · 2026-09-09

Ten indicators covering population, cities, life expectancy, fertility, GDP, forests, agriculture, exports and internet use. Providers include the World Bank, national statistical offices, UN Population Division, Eurostat, OECD, FAO and ITU; exact provider credits are retained per indicator in the download. Filtered to 2023 and our country roster. Missing observations are omitted; only display values are rounded.

Each fact tile shows one observation, such as a high point, coastline length, median age or GDP. Subjects rotate every UTC day. Missing observations are omitted. Display values are rounded for readability; reference years and estimates appear on each tile.

Elevation, coastline and median age: CIA World Factbook, via a pinned CC0 factbook.json archive. The Factbook was discontinued in February 2026: these are archived observations, not live measurements. Other statistics use the 2023 World Bank snapshot credited above. Area uses the ODbL country catalogue.

Observations, source links and exceptionsCC0 1.0

Coastline length depends on the measuring method. Median age divides the population into equally sized younger and older halves; it is not life expectancy. Known conflicting heights are omitted or separately corrected with a verifiable source.

Earlier heritage clues

The earlier UNESCO clues remain downloadable under CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO. They are shortened and translated adaptations; UNESCO does not endorse Roviko.

Geographic choices

A map is a learning tool, not a political statement. Disputed capital questions and selected sensitive border questions are excluded. New Pinpoint games use simplified country boundaries with a 25 km tolerance. Older sessions retain their stated representative-point rule. Comparison questions use 2023 observations. Silhouettes show simplified main landmasses; small and remote islands may be omitted.

Design and code

Original product design, copy, question generator and globe brand mark. The globe is an original generated illustration, and is not used as a quiz map. The four daily-game illustrations and passport stamps were designed for Roviko. Icons: Lucide (ISC). Fonts: Nunito, Fredoka, Manrope and Outfit (SIL Open Font License).
