GuessTheDot is a free online map game: you get a place name and a map full of dots, and click the one you think is right. Set up a game for your whole class in a few taps, project the code, and everyone joins in from their own screen.
From logging in to playing, in under a minute.
Log in or make an account in a few seconds. Say you're a teacher when you log in, or turn it on later in your account settings.
Capitals, world wonders, a country's villages or cities, country hunt: you pick what fits your lesson.
Tap "Create a game for the class" and the QR code and join code show up big on screen, ready for the projector.
Students scan the code or type it in, log in with their own free account, and play right away.
Built for a classroom, not bent into one.
A class game is always private and never counts toward the leaderboard, so nobody has to worry about an off round.
From capitals to world wonders to the villages in your own region. Students learn the map by playing, not by memorizing.
A live scoreboard on the big screen, so everyone sees how it's going right away. No queue, no waiting for a turn.
Chat messages can be reported and are moderated. No ads, and no paywall for the classroom mode.
Phone, tablet, chromebook, a smartboard: anything with a browser works, nothing to install.
GuessTheDot is available in 12 languages, handy for a multilingual class or bilingual program.
Pick the country and the difficulty, and the map does the rest.
The classic starting point. Good for a warm-up at the start of a lesson, and it works with a class that has never played before.
Dozens of countries, each split into big cities, cities, big villages, villages and small villages, so you can match the difficulty to the group. Browse them all in the country guides.
Landmarks and whole-country recognition, for when the lesson is about the wider world rather than one map.
Yes, every player needs a free account to join. It takes a few seconds, and there's no paywall behind it.
No. Creating and playing a class game is completely free.
No, on purpose. A class game is always private and never counts toward the leaderboard, so it stays low-pressure.
Dozens of countries, with capitals, cities, villages and world wonders as separate game modes.
Whatever you set: from a few rounds to fifty, with a per-round time limit you choose yourself.
Yes. It runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install and nothing for IT to approve beyond letting the site through.
