About Flag a Day
Flag a Day is a daily geography game from Starbase, dressed up as a Windows 98 program with a menu bar and a status line. One flag is hidden under tiles each day. Type a country and, if you are wrong, a tile opens and the game tells you how far away the answer is, which way it lies and how close you are as a percentage. You have six tries.
After the flag there are up to eight quick bonus rounds about the same country: its capital, its outline, its place on the map, a neighbour, a landmark, its emblem, its population and currency, and its languages. There are also daily games for a country's shape, capital and landmark, an archive of past flags, and flag quizzes for the world, each continent, capitals and US states. Hard mode in the settings removes suggestions, hints and distances. Results can be shared without naming the country. There is no account and there are no ads.

How to play Flag a Day
Name the country behind today's hidden flag in six tries, using the distance and direction you get after every miss.
Press Start to load today's flag.
Type a country name in the guess box and press Enter.
Read the distance, the arrow and the percentage, then guess a country in that direction.
Use the tiles that open after each miss to spot colours and shapes.
After the flag, play the bonus rounds, or open the Quizzes menu for more.
Tips and strategy
- Open with a country near the middle of a continent so the arrow tells you a lot.
- A short distance usually means a neighbouring country, so guess the ones next door.
- Flag colours repeat by region, so combine what the tiles show with the direction.
- Your streak only counts daily flags. The archive is for practice.
