About Spinning World.

Before smartphones, geography buffs would spin a physical globe, stop it with a finger, and challenge themselves to identify wherever it landed. Spinning World brings that same spirit to iOS, powered by Apple Maps.

Tap any land location on the map to drop a pin, then race to name the country from a list before your 30-second window closes. Two difficulty modes let you play by feel or with visible borders — perfect for all skill levels.

How to Play.

🌍

Pick a Location

Tap anywhere on the map to drop a pin on a land mass. Water and invalid taps are rejected.

🔒

Hard Mode

Country names and borders are hidden. Identify the country by continent and general geography alone.

🗺️

Easy Mode

Country borders are shown on the map. The closer you zoom in, the more detail you can see.

30-Second Timer

Once you're ready to guess, the clock starts. Select the correct country from the list to score.

👁️

Reveal Hint

Tap the counter during the countdown to reveal the location — but it costs you 1 point.

🔄

Change Your Pick

Not happy with your pin? Tap a new location or press Delete to start fresh.
