Player guide

Learn geography by searching the globe, not just reading names.

WorldOrWrong is easiest to understand as a map training loop: read the prompt, rotate the Earth, make a choice, then use the result to remember the country in context. Every mode is designed to turn a short game action into a small geography lesson.

Find and click

The game gives you a country name and asks you to find it on the globe. This mode is best for learning shapes, neighbors and regional placement. If a country is small, zoom mentally by using coastlines, borders and nearby larger countries.

Guess the name

The globe centers on a target country and you type its name. This helps connect visual map position with spelling and memory. Try to say the region out loud before typing the answer.

Guess the capital

You see a country prompt and answer with its capital. The goal is not only to know a city name, but to attach that city to a specific place on the map.

Flags

Flag rounds train recognition without turning flags into random images. After an answer, the country can be shown on the globe so the symbol is connected to geography.

Landmarks

Landmark prompts use well-known cultural or geographic anchors. A landmark is useful when it points to a specific country rather than a vague region.

Country atlas

The atlas is the calmer learning mode. Open a country card to review capital, language, currency, region and selected facts before returning to timed rounds.

How to improve faster

Start with one region, such as Europe, Asia or the Americas, before trying the whole world.
Use large countries as anchors, then place smaller countries around them.
When you miss, look at the target country on the globe for a few seconds before starting the next round.
Practice capitals only after you can roughly locate the country. Capital memory is stronger when it has a map position attached to it.
Use the atlas for unclear countries instead of guessing repeatedly. Reading one good card often saves several failed rounds.

Fair play and safety

Online modes are meant for friendly geography practice. Do not spam chat, impersonate other players, or post offensive messages. Scores and leaderboards are for motivation, not for political statements or harassment.

The site avoids using broad facts as game clues when they are not precise. For example, "English is spoken" or "uses the euro" can describe many countries, so those details belong in the atlas card rather than as decisive game prompts.
