MapGuessr is a challenging educational geography game that tests your knowledge of historical borders and political geography. Each game presents you with 5 rounds of historical maps spanning from ancient civilizations (3000 BC) to modern-day international boundaries.

Unlike other map games, MapGuessr focuses specifically on the chronological evolution of political borders throughout world history. Players must use their understanding of historical events, empire expansions, colonial periods, and modern geopolitics to guess the correct year each map represents.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, geography teacher, student, or simply enjoy educational quiz games, MapGuessr offers an engaging way to enhance your knowledge of how our world's political boundaries have transformed over 5,000 years of human civilization.

How to Play

Each game of MapGuessr consists of 5 rounds. In each round, you'll be presented with a historical map showing international borders from a specific time period. Your challenge is to guess which year the map represents by examining the political boundaries.
