PlayPinDrop
Place five pins on an unlabeled world map. A pin closer to the target earns a better score.
Choose an anchor before you drop a pin
Start with the named place. If you recognize the country but cannot picture the exact location, use the coastline, an inland sea, or a nearby capital as a reference. Place your pin where the place actually lies, even when you only know the rough region.
Everyone gets the same five daily locations. There is no sign-up requirement for the free round, and it usually takes only a couple of minutes. Review the gap between your pin and the target after playing. A distance makes more sense once you can say which direction you missed.
Practice locating Reykjavík
You know the city is in Iceland. Which part of the coastline is your best starting point?
Southwest coast
Correct. Reykjavík is on Faxaflói Bay in southwest Iceland.
North coast
Move southwest. Akureyri is a useful northern reference point.
East coast
Move west across the island. Reykjavík lies on the Atlantic-facing coast near the Reykjanes Peninsula.
