Five pins. Two minutes. One new set of places every day.
PinDrop is a daily geography game. Each day you get five locations and drop a pin where you think each one is. The closer you land, the more points you score. Your results come back as a shareable card, so you can compare with friends and argue about who really knew where Ljubljana was.
ELEVEN GAMES, ONE APP
Start with the Global game, then pick whichever board you like:
Global, for anywhere on earth
Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Ireland, for people who know their streets
College Football and Pro Sports, built around real moments from real games
Footy, for the grounds of world soccer
Acquired, for the places behind the companies
Wayfinder, where you follow a historical expedition across an antique map and work out where it was heading
Every game is its own daily. Play one or play all eleven.
KEEP YOUR STREAK
Play each day and your streak grows. Miss a day and you lose it, which is why Streak Shields exist: earn one and it covers a missed day for you. Your streak, history and past games follow you across your phone and the web, so a day played on a laptop still counts.
PLAY WITH PEOPLE
Create a private group and get a leaderboard just for your family, your office or your group chat. Everyone plays the same five locations, so the comparison is real.
WHEN YOU WANT MORE
Practice mode gives you unlimited rounds with no effect on your streak, filtered by region if you want to drill somewhere specific. The archive lets you replay any past day you missed and review every round you have ever played, pin by pin.
NO ACCOUNT NEEDED TO PLAY
Jump straight in. Sign in only if you want your streak and history saved across devices, with Apple, Google or a magic link.
PinDrop started as a game built for one family and launched on a parents' anniversary, with locations that meant something to them. It is now played by thousands of people every day, all over the world.
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!
We ask about daily reminders far less often. Turn the ask down and we wait longer before asking again, then stop asking for good. If you have a streak going, the prompt now tells you which streak the reminder is protecting.
Plus fixes to signing in and to what the app remembers between updates.
