GeoTap: tap the globe and learn the story
Find a named place on the globe or work out where a street scene was taken. Two free solo dailies, short place stories, themed packs and Infinity give you several ways to explore.
Why play GeoTap?
GeoTap combines two solo geography dailies in one browser game. In GeoTap Daily, a place prompt asks you to tap where you think it belongs on the globe; your score depends on how close you land. Short stories about the places add a little history and context to the result. StreetTap Daily starts with a real street scene and asks you to locate it on the globe instead, using the surroundings as clues.
Beyond the dailies, themed packs connect places along routes such as the Silk Road or Alexander’s march, while Infinity offers unlimited play. Creator Shay describes the game as free, without ads or a required account, and playable in English on phones and desktop browsers. The supplied screenshots show the two daily entry points, a five-place score summary with stories, and StreetTap’s street view with its Mapillary photo credit. GeoTap is made in Brooklyn.
How does GeoTap work?
GeoTap tests placement rather than spelling: read a place name and use the globe to put it in the world. Closer guesses earn better scores, and the result connects the location to a short story. The supplied daily summary shows five places, individual distance feedback and a combined score out of 100. StreetTap changes the evidence to street photography, so signs, road markings, buildings and landscape become the clues before you place your guess. The two dailies give you a stopping point; themed packs organize a longer session around a subject or route, and Infinity keeps the guesses coming.
How do you play GeoTap?
- Open GeoTap in a browser and choose GeoTap Daily or StreetTap Daily.
- Read the place prompt or examine the street scene, then tap your best estimate on the globe.
- Review your distance, score and place story, then return for the other daily or choose a themed pack or Infinity.
How can you improve at GeoTap?
Place the region first
Start with the continent and country before narrowing toward a city, river or landmark. Use nearby coasts and borders to turn a rough memory into a more precise tap.
Read the street in layers
In StreetTap, look for writing, road markings and the general landscape before concentrating on a single building. Combine several clues before committing to a location.
Use each story as a memory cue
Review where you missed and connect the place to one detail from its story. Try a themed pack when you want the next guesses to share a historical or geographic thread.
