Farflung on farflung.game
Farflung is the free daily geography game published by Farflung LLC at farflung.game. The official site describes a map quiz: each day’s expedition gives five prompts, and for each prompt you pin one country. Several countries can be correct; rarer answers take you further. Schema and FAQ on the same site also name Farflung LLC, list free browser play, and identify the official social accounts as @playfarflung.
This Nisu page summarizes those official how-to-play and FAQ statements. Nisu does not host or embed the game. Play and rulings belong on the official site.
How one expedition works
The official how-to-play page says there is no clock in the default daily game: read the prompt, tap the unlabeled map to place a pin, tap again to move it, zoom as needed, then press Drop pin. You get one answer per prompt. After each pin you see how far that answer takes you, then continue with Next prompt. After the fifth pin, On to camp shows total distance, your answers and country facts, and a share option.
The same guide states you may reuse a country on more than one prompt if it fits each time. A wrong pin adds no distance. By default the map shows borders and the country name under your pin before you drop it; pins at sea or on disputed ground should be moved onto a country first. Territories count for the country they belong to—the official examples are Greenland for Denmark and Guam for the United States.
| Step | Official instruction |
|---|---|
| Place pin | Tap the map; tap again to move; scroll or pinch to zoom |
| Lock answer | Press Drop pin (one answer per prompt) |
| Continue | Next prompt after each result; On to camp after five |
| Keyboard | Tab to map; arrows pan; +/− zoom; Space or Enter drops |
Why rarer answers travel further
Official copy says a correct answer adds distance in kilometres, and rarity decides how far: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Elusive or Farflung. Answers people are least likely to think of take you furthest. Each prompt has at least one “gem” at the top Farflung rarity. A miss scores no distance.
The how-to-play guide’s own teaching example—not a daily or practice prompt—asks for a country where German is an official language. It lists Germany as Common, Austria Uncommon, Liechtenstein Rare, Belgium Elusive and Luxembourg as the Farflung gem. Treat that ladder as an official illustration of rarity, not as today’s solution set.
Difficulty options and practice
Difficulty in the menu can turn off the country name under the pin, turn off borders, or add a 60-second clock. With the clock on, an official FAQ and how-to-play note that a pin already on a country is dropped when time ends, and if no pin is on land you get no distance. The clock keeps running on an open prompt if you leave, and an expired open prompt scores nothing.
A practice round is available from How to play (and on a first visit above the play button): one prompt, no clock, repeatable, nothing kept, and it does not use up the daily game. The official FAQ says unlimited mode is not available yet; themed packs are planned first. A mobile app is planned; until then play is in a browser on phone or computer. You can play as a guest with no account or download.
