Popdle is a free daily geography game. Each day you are shown a country and must guess its population in six tries. Get within 5% of the real figure to win.
A new country is selected every day. Everyone in the world plays the same country on the same day, so you can compare results fairly with friends.
Enter your guess in millions — for example, 0.8 means 800,000 people. After each guess you get a higher/lower hint and a colour-coded accuracy band showing how close you are.
Guessing within 5% of the country's actual population counts as a win. You have six guesses to get there.
