Red Eye To
Red Eye To is a free daily geography game where you point the initial compass heading from five departure cities toward the shortest flight to tonight's destination; the puzzle resets every midnight New York time.
Play Red Eye ToA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Red Eye To challenges you to pick the initial heading of the shortest air route from five different departure cities to a single nightly destination. The playable globe is centered on each departure city so every dial direction is a true initial heading for the great circle path. The game highlights how flat maps can mislead by curving great circles on a map.
Each round gives 25 seconds to set a heading and lock it in; when time runs out the dial freezes where it stands. Scoring awards up to 5,000 points for accuracy in each round and a speed bonus of up to 20% for locking in within five seconds. A full flight is five rounds, and you get three attempts per night with your best score counting.
Red Eye To is free to play with no ads and you can play as a guest or create a free account to save streaks and personal bests across devices. A new destination departs every midnight New York time, and everyone sees the same nightly destination so results are comparable among players; free play modes let you try other or random destinations outside the nightly challenge.

Tips for Red Eye To
- Remember great-circle routes often head toward higher latitudes; routes to Asia from North America or Europe commonly bend northward.
- Prioritize early accuracy: locking in within five seconds yields up to a 20% speed bonus on top of accuracy points.
- Use the globe centered on the departure city in free play to study how great circles leave in different directions from the same city.
- If unsure, small changes in heading can still score well when the flat-map and true headings are similar; aim for the general quadrant before refining.
