Metroji β€” the daily emoji city guessing game

Five emoji. One city.

What is Metroji?

Metroji is a free daily geography game. Every day at midnight, wherever you are, one city somewhere in the world is described in exactly five emoji. You get six guesses to name it.

How to play

  1. Read the five emoji. They point at landmarks, food, exports, weather and history β€” never at the spelling of the name.
  2. Guess any city. Type a city or a country. Every wrong guess tells you how far off you are in kilometres and which direction to go.
  3. Follow the arrows. Each guess narrows the map. Land on the city within six tries to keep your streak alive.

Good to know

  • The five emoji are chosen to fit one city and no other. No two cities in the game share more than three of them.
  • Everyone in the world gets the same city on the same day, so results are comparable.
  • Old names work too β€” Bombay finds Mumbai, Kiev finds Kyiv, Saigon finds Ho Chi Minh City.
  • Hard mode drops you to five guesses and hides the distance. Easy mode gives you one guess and four cities to pick from.
  • Missed a day? Past cities are playable from the archive, and they do not count against your streak.
  • Nothing you play leaves your device. Streaks and stats live in your own browser.

Common questions

Is Metroji free?
Yes. There is no account, no app to install and nothing to pay for. Your streak and stats are stored in your own browser.
How many guesses do you get?
Six in the normal game. Hard mode drops you to five and hides the distance. Easy mode gives you a single guess and four cities to choose between.
Does everyone get the same city?
Yes. The daily city is the same for every player in the world, and it changes at midnight in your own time zone.
How is Metroji different from Worldle?
Worldle shows you the outline of a country. Metroji gives you five emoji for a single city, so the clue is about what the place is known for rather than what shape it is.
Can I play the cities I missed?
Yes. The archive holds the last thirty cities, and playing them does not count against your streak.
What do the emoji refer to?
Landmarks, food, exports, weather and history. They never spell out the letters of the name.
