Is there a persistent version of OpenFront?

TapGuessr is the closest: a territory game on a real world map where the match is a two-week season, and your land stays yours between visits.

Yes. The game is free to play in any browser, on a phone or a computer. There is nothing to download and no account to make.

How long does a game last?

A season lasts two weeks, and the map is shared by everyone playing. Most people play a few minutes at a time: spend your troops, check who's attacking you, and come back when your troops have built up again.

Games like OpenFront

OpenFront turns real maps into battlefields. These games give you more of that, from fast matches to a world map where your empire keeps growing for weeks.

Season 1 is live: 23 players hold land, 5 days left to take yours.

TapGuessr: the whole planet, one long match

Imagine an OpenFront match that never ends early: one map of the entire Earth, shared by everyone, running for two weeks. That's TapGuessr. You start with a single tile, grow out from it, and fight over the same cities everyone else wants.

Persistent: close the tab and your land is still there. Troops keep building while you're gone.
Real places: 12,446 hex tiles covering every country, with 224 capitals and megacities worth five times the troops.
No lobby: no waiting for a match to fill. Open the page and play.
Phone-friendly: made to be played with one thumb, as well as on a computer.
