About Daily Expedition

Daily Expedition is a geography deduction game. Every day, everyone gets the same journey of five mystery places joined by one hidden theme — and the challenge is to work out where each stop is, and then what connects them all.

How a round works

Each stop opens with a single cryptic clue. You read it, then drop a pin on the 3D globe where you think the place is. The closer your pin, the more points you score — a perfect pin is worth 1,000, and the score falls away with distance. There is no list to choose from; the whole world is fair game.

Intel tokens

You get six intel tokens for the entire five-stop journey. Stuck on a stop? You can spend tokens to unlock extra clues — a latitude, a climate profile, a snatch of the local language, a historical hint. But you can never afford everything, and every token you still hold at the end is worth bonus points, so a clue is never really free. Spending well is half the game.

Confidence

Before you commit a guess, you say how sure you are, from "Guessing" to "Certain". High confidence multiplies a good pin — up to 1,500 points — but a confident miss scores nothing. It is a proper wager: over time, honest confidence always beats bluffing.

The hidden theme

After the fifth stop, the twist: name the thread that ties all five places together for a large bonus. Cities split by a river? Capitals almost nobody can name? Towns living under an active volcano? Spotting the theme early can even help you place the later stops.

Other ways to play

Beyond the daily, there is an archive of past expeditions to replay, a free-play mode of endless single rounds, and a survival mode where one wild guess ends the run.
