Play FlagPinA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
FlagPin is a daily geography puzzle that shows three flags and asks you to identify the location of each country's capital by dropping a pin on an interactive globe. You get one pin per flag and are scored on how many kilometers your pin is from the true capital. The interface supports tapping to place pins and basic map gestures to explore.
The game is free to play and includes optional hints you can take for a score penalty; available hint types include continent, region, and the country name. The globe can be spun, zoomed, and panned using drag, scroll, or pinch gestures so you can inspect coastlines and neighboring countries before pinning. A new set of three flags appears daily at midnight Eastern Time.
How to play FlagPin
- Open FlagPin to see the first of three flags and an interactive globe view.
- Move the globe by dragging, scroll to zoom on desktop, or pinch to zoom on touch screens until you find the spot you want.
- Tap the globe to drop a pin where you believe the capital is located for that flag.
- Repeat for the second and third flags to complete the daily challenge and receive a score based on distance errors.
Tips for FlagPin
- Start by identifying the continent from the flag shape or colors before zooming into likely countries to narrow the search area.
- Use coastlines, neighboring countries, and major geographic features visible on the globe to refine your pin placement.
- If you are unsure, use the continent or region hint to cut down the search area, but remember each hint reduces your final score.
- Zoom in after you place a rough pin to check for nearby large cities that are more likely to be capitals rather than geographic centers.

The hints available are continent, region, and the country name, and each hint reveals progressively more information about the flagged country at the cost of a score penalty. Taking a hint reduces the points you earn because it makes finding the capital easier.
How is my FlagPin score computed?
Your score is based on how many kilometers your pin is from the actual capital location, so closer pins earn better scores. The game also applies penalties when you use hints, which lowers your final score for that flag.
