Island Nations Locator
Pin the archipelagos, atolls and volcanic islands scattered across the world's oceans.
Theme: Islands · Difficulty: Medium
How the practice set is built
The Island Nations Locator filters the curated dispatches through its matching rule and, when fewer than a full five-round set match, tops the set up from the deterministic generator. Scoring is identical across every category: pin rounds use great-circle distance, year rounds reward proximity to the founding date, and the stat dial scores how close your estimate lands.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the Island Nations Locator?
- The Island Nations Locator is a free, browser-based geography quiz in the Islands theme. Each round drops you onto a real place from the Pin or Miss seed dataset and asks you to pin it, date it or dial in its statistic.
- How many rounds does the Island Nations Locator have?
- Every category quiz runs five rounds: Pin & Year, Stat Dial, Clue & Pin, Order the Dispatches and the Boss Tri-Modal. Each round is scored out of 5,000 for a 25,000 maximum.
- Is the Island Nations Locator the same as the daily dispatch?
- No. The daily dispatch is a single curated gauntlet shared by every player on a given date. The Island Nations Locator is a practice set that filters the seed dataset to the Islands theme and tops up from the deterministic generator when fewer than five seeds match.
- Do I need an account to play the Island Nations Locator?
- No account is required. Category practice runs entirely in the browser, and your daily streak and saved results are kept in local storage on your own device.
