How to play

Five rounds a day, the same for everyone.

📍 Tap it (three rounds): We name a place. Spin the globe, drop a pin, then tap Lock it in. Zoom by pinching or double-tapping (on the website, the + and − buttons too). A perfect pin is 1,000 points; 1,000 km off is about 670, 2,500 km about 370.
✏️ Draw it (two rounds): One country and one US state, from memory. Size, position and a little tilt don't matter: we line your drawing up with the real outline and measure the overlap. A lazy oval won't score much; 1,000 takes a near-trace. Some shapes come in pieces (Japan, Michigan); lift your finger between them.
Come back tomorrow: New places at local midnight. Play daily to keep your streak.

Is the website the same game as the app?: Yes. Same five rounds, same scoring.
Does my streak carry between the website and the app?: No. Nothing leaves your device, so the app and each browser keep their own streak.
What's in Sketchy Maps+?: In the app: unlimited practice, practice on your misses, every past day since #1 (they don't touch your streak), Deep Cuts (places too obscure for the daily) and stats. Yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
How do I cancel the yearly plan?: On your iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Sketchy Maps. Cancel at least 24 hours before it renews. Apple handles subscriptions and refunds; you can request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Is that pin in the right place?: Each place is a single point (a city's centre, a mountain's summit), so close still scores well. If a pin looks wrong, tell us.
My pin or drawing didn't register.: On the globe, tap without dragging (a drag spins it). On the drawing pad, the Score it button turns on once you've drawn a real line.
Is my data collected?: No. See the privacy policy.

New iPhone or reinstalled? In the app, go to Settings and tap Restore Purchases, signed in with the Apple ID you bought it with.

Bug, wrong pin or typo? Email a contact address is coming soon. Mention the day number (like "#2") if it's about a round.
