Globe Explorer
Works with mouse or touch — a desktop or laptop is still best for hand/face camera gestures. Mouse / Touch needs no webcam; hand and face tracking do.

- Choose your controls — mouse or touch needs no camera; hand or face tracking uses your camera and stays on your device.
- Explore or take the quiz — spin the globe and select a country, or name the orange country in Quiz mode.
- Beat your best — answer 10 timed questions, then review any misses. Play the World or a continent pack and try to top your saved score.
Full instructions
Globe Explorer is a geography map and quiz in one. Spin, zoom and select countries with a mouse, touch, hand gestures or head movement, all drawn in your browser from public country data.
Explorer includes 160 country maps and 1,785 cities. The 50 quiz countries also have flags, capitals and 217 landmarks. Other countries show the data we have, without inventing missing facts. Satellite view swaps the drawn map for real Earth imagery.
Quiz shows an orange country and four answers. You have 15 seconds per question and 10 questions per round. Correct answers earn 100 points plus a speed bonus. Play the World or a continent pack. Wrong and timed-out answers show the capital and continent where tracked, and you can open missed countries from the results screen. Best scores and mastered countries stay on this device.
Mouse and touch need no webcam, so the game also works on a classroom projector or a locked-down school laptop. Hand and face video is processed locally and never uploaded. Read the privacy page or how to play for every control.
