Updates
What changed on the site and when. New maps and modes, new guides, and every flag or fact that was corrected after someone wrote in.
- Every map page got its own article
Under each flat map there is now an essay on the flags of that country or continent — what is on them, which ones get confused and why — plus the full list of units with their capitals, a few questions answered, and links to neighbouring maps. The capitals pages have their own essays about the capitals. The globe page has the same treatment. New sections: Guides, Updates, Contact and Terms.
- Map of Sweden
Twenty-one counties on a flat map. The county flags are banners of the county arms, drawn for the site after the official blazons because no free versions existed.
- Capitals pages rewritten as an index by city
Each capitals page now lists the deck by city — Dresden, Saxony — instead of repeating the flags page's table, so the two pages of one map no longer read as duplicates.
- Map of Australia
Six states and two territories. The flags of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland are the site's own drawings.
- Maps of Mexico, Argentina and the Netherlands
Thirty-two Mexican states from public-domain sources, twenty-four Argentine provinces (eleven drawn for the site), twelve Dutch provinces from Wikimedia Commons.
- Flags of the world reference and unit lists
A page listing all 235 flags of the deck with capital, area, population, a fact and the three hints the game gives; every map page got a list of its units with capitals.
- Landing pages for Daily, All flags and World capitals
Each mode of the globe has a page of its own explaining the round, plus cross-links between maps, structured data and per-map preview images.
- Maps of Spain, Italy, France, the UK, Poland and Brazil; Asia and the Americas
Nineteen Spanish autonomous communities, twenty Italian regions (five flags drawn for the site), eighteen French regions with the overseas ones in insets, forty-six UK counties, sixteen Polish voivodeships, twenty-seven Brazilian states, and two more continents.
- Learning mode and Practice
Learning: a blank globe where clicking a country shows its flag with capital, area, population and one fact. Practice deals only the flags you have not placed yet, easiest first; Practice capitals does the same for capitals.
- Capitals on flat maps
Maps whose units have distinct capitals also run as a capitals round: the card names a city and you find its state, region or country.
- Daily grid and challenge links
Daily results share as a grid of coloured squares with a day streak; any round can be sent to a friend as a link with the same deck.
- Daily leaderboard
Today's Daily results from signed-in players on the home page and on the result card, ranked by time with accuracy shown beside it. Board names can be edited.
- Flat maps: US states, German states, Canadian provinces, Ukrainian oblasts, Japanese prefectures, Swiss cantons, Europe and Africa
The first flat maps, on the same rules as the globe: three tries per flag, Name, Hint and Skip. Regional flags are public-domain files or the site's own drawings after the official descriptions.
- Hints for an ad
After the free ones, Name, Hint and Skip can be earned by watching a short ad to the end. A round is never interrupted by an ad; an interstitial can run between rounds.
- Privacy fixes
The anonymous statistics identifier is no longer stored before consent, and the privacy policy describes every data flow — including the country of each request and the ad cookies.
- The site around the game
Home page with the modes, How to play, About, a dark theme and English throughout. Thirty flags became the default round; the collection of flags you know appeared.
- Flagglobe goes live at flagglobe.com
A 3D globe with 241 territories from Natural Earth and a deck of 235 flags: drag each onto its country, three tries each, instant check with confetti in the flag's colours, a share image of the finished planet.
