About MapGuesser

The Project

MapGuesser is a project born from a passion for geography and video games. Created in 2025 by CallMeAl3x, this game aims to make learning geography fun and accessible to everyone.

Whether you're a student wanting to review, a curious person discovering the world, or an expert testing your knowledge, MapGuesser offers a unique and engaging experience.

Who is behind MapGuesser?

MapGuesser is built and maintained by Alexandre Bonefons (aka CallMeAl3x), an independent web developer. From the code to the geographic content, everything is designed and written by a single person, with attention to detail and the goal of offering a free, high-quality learning tool.

Reliable, sourced data

Geography changes: populations, capitals, borders, flags. The information on MapGuesser — the profiles of all 254 countries, the blog articles and the quizzes — relies on recognized reference sources: the United Nations, the World Bank, the CIA World Factbook and Wikipedia. Every blog article cites its sources, and the content is regularly updated to stay accurate.

Main sources: United Nations · World Bank · CIA World Factbook · Wikipedia

More than a game: content to learn

Beyond the games, MapGuesser offers a blog and detailed profiles for every country: flag history, capitals, fun facts, complete lists by continent. Enough to make progress and discover the world, even when you're not playing.
