Descriptions
One-liner. Mercatle is Wordle for geography — six real places from space, one shot a day.
Short. Mercatle is a daily satellite-geography game. Each day, identify six real places from tight, label-free satellite views: tap the globe to guess (closer = more points), then answer trivia to double the round. Global and regional leaderboards, streaks, and mini-games. Free on iOS.
Long. Mercatle turns the daily-puzzle habit into a test of how well you know the world. Every day brings six real locations, each shown as a tight satellite view with no labels to give it away. You tap a 3D globe to drop your guess — the closer you land, the higher your score — then a trivia question gives you a chance to double the round. Everyone plays the same daily puzzle, and results are shareable and spoiler-free, so you can compare with friends. Compete on global and regional leaderboards, keep a daily streak, earn achievement badges, and explore a Game Lab of experimental mini-games. Free to play, with an optional Pro tier for themed category packs, a 30-day archive, and private friend groups.
