Game rules
- Read the prompt and look around the map. Scroll or pinch to zoom out for more context.

Quick tip
Use the Sketch tool to mark two landmarks you recognize, such as a bend in the coast and a lake near the border. Use those marks to position your outline when you switch to the pen. Sketch lines don’t affect your score.
About Draw the Border
You might remember the curve of a coastline and still draw it too far north. The score breakdown helps you see where your drawing was off, whether you misplaced the border, misjudged the size, or missed a bend in the outline.
In Endless, you can keep drawing more countries after the daily puzzle. In Atlas, draw one country at a time to build a map of a region. You’ll see the real borders and your scores at the end.
