Warmer

Guess the country of the day

Every guess runs hotter or colder until you find it.

Warmer is a free daily country guessing game, a hot or cold game for geography. Guess the mystery country of the day and the interactive globe tells you whether each guess is warmer or colder, from blue for far away through yellow and orange to red as you close in, with clues for continent, hemisphere and size. A new country every day: keep a streak, share your result, or practice unlimited rounds. Play live with friends in multiplayer, collect countries in your passport, and revisit them in short review quizzes that make the map stick.

A daily hot or cold country game

Warmer is a free daily geography game: guess the mystery country of the day, and every guess lights up on an interactive globe, hotter the closer you get. It takes a couple of minutes, and the countries you find tend to stay found, along with what sits next to them.

Play the daily on your own, run unlimited practice rounds, or start a room and play live with friends: everyone gets the same country, and the sharpest guesser takes the round.

How to play

  1. Type any country to make your first guess.
  2. Read the heat. The globe colors your guess by distance: blue is cold and far, then yellow, orange and red as you close in, and green means you found it.
  3. Use the clue tiles (continent, hemisphere, landlocked, bigger or smaller) to narrow it down.
  4. Keep guessing until you find the mystery country.
  5. Come back tomorrow for a new country, or start a room and play with friends.

Frequently asked questions

What is Warmer?

Warmer is a free daily country guessing game, played hot or cold. Each day there is one mystery country, the country of the day. Every guess lands on an interactive globe and tells you whether you are getting warmer or colder, with clues for continent, hemisphere and size. Play the daily, unlimited practice, or play live with friends.

Is Warmer a hot or cold game?

Yes. It is the hot or cold game you played as a kid, on a globe. Each guess is colored by distance: blue when you are far away, then yellow, orange and red as you get hotter, and green when you find it. A label above the globe tells you whether your latest guess was warmer or colder than the one before.

What is the country of the day?

One mystery country that changes every day at your local midnight, with a live countdown to the next one. Everyone gets the same country on the same date, so you can compare results with friends. Solve it each day to grow your streak.

Can I play Warmer with friends?

Yes. Create a room, share the link, and everyone plays the same mystery country live on their own board. The best player each round scores 1000 and everyone else scores relative to them: a solve beats a near miss, fewer guesses beat more, and time only breaks ties, so every round stays competitive. Play several rounds and the highest score tops the leaderboard.

Is Warmer free?

Yes. Warmer is completely free, needs no sign up, and plays right in your browser on desktop or mobile, solo and multiplayer.

What makes Warmer different from other geography games?

Three things: you can play live against friends in real time rather than alone, you solve by hot or cold reasoning on a globe instead of recognising photos, and countries you discover come back in spaced review quizzes so they actually stay learned.

Does Warmer help you actually learn geography?

That is the point of it. You solve by reasoning about neighbours, hemispheres and size, so each country arrives connected to the ones around it. Every country you find is stamped in your passport, then returns in short review quizzes at widening intervals. That is the spacing effect, which is how memory sticks.

Can I install Warmer on my phone?

Yes. Open warmergames.com in your phone browser and add it to your home screen. On iPhone use Share then Add to Home Screen, on Android use the browser menu. It opens like an app, and signing in keeps your streak in sync across devices.
