How to Play VibeGlobe

Full rules for guessing the country in six attempts.

Name the country from its silhouette. Each wrong guess gives distance and a direction arrow.

VibeGlobe displays a random country as a neon silhouette. You have six attempts to name it. Wrong guesses return a Haversine distance in kilometres and a compass arrow pointing toward the target.

Limit to remember
Treat this as a practical aid for the task, not a replacement for professional judgment.

Key points

  • ▸ Look at the silhouette and type a country name. The autocomplete accepts common aliases (UK, USA, Holland, Turkiye, etc.).
  • ▸ Each wrong guess shows: Haversine distance in km between your guess and the target (great-circle, not road) and a compass arrow toward the target.
  • ▸ A proximity bar shows how close your closest guess was — 100% means the target.
  • ▸ Guesses plot red on the stylised world map; the target turns neon green when you find it or the round reveals it.
  • ▸ Six attempts maximum. Solve within six to count it as a Global Mastery find.
  • ▸ Country pool: about 50 curated major countries spanning every continent. Total finds save to localStorage on this device.

Examples

  • Near miss
    Guess Spain when target is France. Distance ~1000 km, arrow up (north), proximity ~95%.
  • Autocomplete alias
    Type UK and the autocomplete resolves to United Kingdom. No penalty for informal names.
  • Reveal on fail
    Six wrong guesses and the target pulses neon green on the world map so you learn what it was.

When to use which tool

▸ Operational Thresholds
  • CYAN · STABLE — Proximity above 90% within two guesses — silhouette and arrow aligned.
  • GOLD · GUARDED — Four guesses used, proximity 60-80%, right continent but wrong country.
  • MAGENTA · CRITICAL — Guess six incoming, proximity below 40% — silhouette unread, miss likely.
▸ Pivot
Geography solved? Context game rewards the same proximity-closing instincts for words.

Frequently asked questions

› How is distance calculated? How-to

Haversine formula on two lat-lon points (capitals or centroids). It is great-circle distance, not driving distance.

› Why does autocomplete matter? Troubleshooting

The game accepts aliases (UK, USA, Turkiye, Holland) so you do not have to spell the official display name exactly.

› How many countries can appear? How-to

About 50 curated major countries across every continent. Each game picks one at random.

› How do I use a puzzle helper without spoiling the game? How-to

Use a puzzle helper after your own first attempt, not before every move or answer. Read the rules, try a round cold, then use the guide to understand misses, patterns, and better strategy. That keeps the puzzle fun while turning mistakes into practice.

› What should I learn first in a new puzzle game? Definition

Learn the rules, win condition, scoring, and one opening habit before chasing advanced tactics. Most players improve fastest by removing obvious mistakes: unclear turns, wasted guesses, ignored constraints, or overusing hints. Strategy only matters once the basic loop is automatic.
