Cartógrafo

Free geography games like GeoGuessr to play with friends

Cartógrafo is a free geography game for friends: up to 12 players in a room, each on their own phone, with no account and nothing to install, in games of about two minutes. It is a map-quiz game, not a Street View game: you find countries, capitals and flags on a map rather than guess where a panorama was taken. If Street View is what you love about GeoGuessr, stay with GeoGuessr.

What GeoGuessr is, and what Cartógrafo is not

GeoGuessr drops you into Street View panoramas and you guess where you are. It has party and multiplayer modes, and it uses accounts and a paid subscription for full play.

Cartógrafo has no panoramas and no exploring on the ground. If you enjoy looking around to work out a place, GeoGuessr is a different kind of game and Cartógrafo doesn't replace it. Cartógrafo fits better when you want something quick on a map, to learn where each country, province or capital is.
