Five real places a day, one unlabeled map. Drop your pin, score by distance, keep the streak going. Twelve daily games, from the whole world to one city block.
Five real places a day. One unlabeled map. How close can you get?
PlayPinDrop names a place, shows you a map with no labels and no borders to help, and asks you to drop a pin where you think it is. You score by distance. A perfect pin is 200 points, a perfect day is 1,000, and the whole thing takes about two minutes.
Everyone in the world gets the same five places on the same day.
TWELVE DAILY GAMES
The world game is the flagship. Alongside it:
Cities. Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, where the answers are neighbourhoods, restaurants and corners locals argue about.
Regions. Ireland and the UK, in kilometres, at country scale.
Sports. Pin the stadium where a famous moment happened, in college football, US pro sports and European football.
Acquired. Places from the business-history podcast, for people who already know the stories
Wayfinder. A daily expedition on an antique map, where the journey is the clue.
STREAKS THAT SURVIVE A BAD DAY
Play daily and build a streak in every game separately. Earn a Streak Shield and it will bridge one missed day for you, so one late night does not undo a month.
PLAY WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW
Make a private group, share the invite link, and everyone plays the same five places. The leaderboard settles who actually knows maps and who just talks about it.
EVERY DAY YOU MISSED IS STILL THERE
The full archive is open. Play any past day, in any game, whenever you like. Practice mode gives you unlimited rounds with no effect on your streak.
FREE
The daily games, the archive, practice, streaks and groups are all free. An optional ad-free subscription removes ads if you would rather not see them.
No account needed to play. Sign in if you want your streak and history to follow you between your phone and the web.
Two minutes a day. See how much of the world you can actually place.
PlayPinDrop Ad-Free is an optional auto-renewable subscription that removes every ad from every game.
Available as a monthly or a yearly subscription.

I like these games. My only issue is that there’s an ad banner along the bottom of the screen that makes it impossible to read the entire clue in the wayfinder game or to submit your answer. Makes that game completely unplayable.
Developer Response
Thanks so much for the review and thank you for bringing up the issue with Wayfinder. I'm actively working on getting that fixed and make sure the game is playable for you. I apologize but hope to have you back up and playing soon.Edit: this has been fixed. Hope you're still enjoying the game!
A new name and a new look.
The app is now PlayPinDrop, with a new mark: a hand dropping a pin on the map, in a color of its own for every game.
Also in this release:
Clearer maps. Parks, forests and built-up areas now read apart from each other properly, including for color-blind players. A reviewer told us the green and the grey were hard to tell apart, and they were right.
Everything else is where you left it. Same daily five, same streaks, same groups, same archive. Nothing to do on your end.
