A different view of the map

Recognize the world from above

Read city grids, coastlines and landforms through satellite puzzles with different clue budgets.

Why these games?

Satellite views remove the street signs that make ground-level guessing comfortable. Rivers, coastlines, runway layouts and urban grids become the clues, with image scale determining what you can reasonably identify. These four picks use different information budgets: a city view may widen after a wrong answer, another allows one answer after optional hints, and a curated landscape can also ask about time. Choose the category or mode before interpreting a bright patch or geometric pattern. Daily access and extended practice differ between publishers. Start with a broad landform hypothesis, then use newly available context to distinguish the remaining places.

  1. SatPixel — english satzoom daily satellite map, city search and six guess positions

    SatPixel

    Use SatZoom’s six city guesses and progressive zoom-out to compare urban context. A wider river bend or coastline can invalidate an early block-level impression, so reassess the whole hypothesis after each reveal.
