  1. 01

    See the star

    Each round opens on a famous face from music, sport or screen.

  2. 02

    Read the clue

    A short clue points to a place in their story: where they grew up, trained or broke through.

  3. 03

    Explore the globe

    Drag to spin the world and pinch, scroll or use + / − to zoom. Take your time — there is no clock.

  4. 04

    Tap your guess

    Tap (or click) the spot you think is right. Changed your mind? Tap somewhere else; your pin moves.

  5. 05

    Lock your answer

    Happy with your pin? Press LOCK ANSWER. Once locked, it can't be changed.

  6. 06

    See the correct location

    The real place appears on the map with the distance from your guess and a short story about it.

  7. 07

    Earn points

    Up to 1,000 points a round. The closer your tap, the more you score.

  8. 08

    Complete five rounds

    Five stars make a game. Finish to see your total out of 5,000 and share it — without spoilers.

Ways to play

  • Today's Five — the daily game. Everyone gets the same five stars, and a new set starts at midnight UTC. One tap per star; the closer you are, the higher your score.
  • Music World, Sports World and World Mix — play five whenever you like. These rounds have two steps: first find the country (up to 300 points), then the city (up to 700 points).

Tips

  • Stuck? Another hint gives a second clue, but costs 200 points that round.
  • Scores never go below zero, so a guess is always worth making.
  • On a computer: drag with the mouse, scroll to zoom, click to place your pin. Esc skips an intro video.
  • Your progress, streak and Star Passport are saved in this browser — no account needed.
