Find the mystery country

How to play

• Guess any country. Start typing and pick it from the list.
• Look at the colour. Warmer means closer: dark red is touching or very near, pale cream is far away.
• Use the distance. Each guess shows how far its border is from the mystery country, in km or miles.
• Turn the globe by dragging it. Pinch, scroll or use + and − to zoom.
• Stuck? Use a hint: the continent, how many countries it touches, and the first letter.
