About TapGuessr
A free multiplayer game played on one shared map of the whole world.
Everyone who plays TapGuessr is on the same map of Earth, split into hexagonal tiles of real land. You plant your flag anywhere, earn troops every minute, and grow your empire tile by tile: claiming free land, taking cities, attacking neighbours and ruling countries. Each season lasts two weeks, and then the map starts fresh. The rules are on How to play.
It's made to be played in short visits. Your troops build up while you're away, so a couple of minutes a day is enough to keep an empire going. It runs in any browser, on phones and computers, with no download and no account.
The map
Shaded relief is Natural Earth II (public domain). Borders, places and detail come from OpenStreetMap contributors and OpenMapTiles, served by OpenFreeMap. The tiles are Uber's H3 hexagons, and the globe is drawn with MapLibre.
Paying for it
The game is free. Players and businesses can pay to fly a logo and link over their land for a season, or sponsor one of the boats sailing around the globe. That's what keeps the servers running.
