FactMap is a free online daily geography and trivia game, which will require you to match some interesting facts with their real locations all over the world. Every day, you are to answer five questions related to different geographical issues, historical events, places, and other interesting aspects of the world. Unlike most games that ask you to type your answer or choose one of several options, here you need to simply drop a pin on the map indicating the right location of the fact.
With every round of the game, you are to answer the question by referring to the real location. In addition to the question, you will also get an instruction that will tell you what to find (city, historic place, region, country). In case you don't know the right answer, you may use one hint at your disposal to find out some additional information. It will, however, decrease the maximum possible score of the round from 1,000 to 750 points.
When you know your answer, drop your pin on the map in the location you think it belongs. Before you submit your answer, use the map’s zoom feature to get an even closer look at the answer. FactMap then displays the answer, measures the distance from the pin to the actual answer location, and provides a brief explanation of the fact.
Every round in FactMap is worth up to 1,000 points, so you can earn 5,000 points per day by answering five questions. The higher your pin is placed relative to the exact location, the fewer points it will earn. Correct answers within the designated zone score full points. Questions for certain countries can even be evaluated using a different method, awarding scores to countries that are close to the correct location.
