    About Noirdle

    What is Noirdle?

    Noirdle is a daily geography puzzle game where you test your knowledge of city maps from around the world. Every day, you get three challenges: identify a capital city, a major city, and a hidden town - all from the same mystery country. Can you recognize cities from their map layouts alone?

    How It Works

    Three Daily Challenges: Each day features three map puzzles from a single country:

    • Capital Challenge: Guess the country's capital city from its map
    • Major City Challenge: Identify a major metropolitan area
    • Hidden Town Challenge: Discover a lesser-known town or city

    Type your guess in the search box and click on the map to zoom in and explore. The map uses fog of war that clears as you zoom closer, revealing more details. Use your geography knowledge, street patterns, and city layouts to figure out where you are!
