How to play

You get a country name and a blank canvas — no reference image. Draw the flag from memory, then hit Reveal & Score.

How the score works

An uneven tricolour still scores in the nineties. The right colours in the wrong order does not.

Stuck? Take a hint

Up to three outline hints per flag. Dashed guides gradually trace the flag's actual shapes, from main outlines to smaller details, without showing colours. Simple flags need fewer hints. Your score stays the same, and the result and share card note how many you used.

Tips

A new flag every day at midnight UTC, the same one for everyone. Your streak counts consecutive days you finished the daily. Progress is saved in this browser — there is no account, and nothing is uploaded.

Shortcuts: B brush, F fill, R rectangle, C circle, L line, S star, E eraser, ⌘/Ctrl+Z undo.

What actually differs

  • Bangladesh uses green and red where Palau uses light blue and yellow.
  • Bangladesh flies at 3:5 and Palau at 5:8, so side by side one looks longer than the other.

How to keep them straight

Bangladesh: Bottle green field, red disc nudged left.

Palau: Anchor on the biggest shape: a single disc on a plain field in light blue and yellow. Everything else on the flag hangs off that.

The drawing scorer is built for exactly this: if you swap the colours of Bangladesh it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
