A daily habit for learning the world.
What is Global Habit?
Global Habit is a free, browser-based geography game. You compare two countries — population, GDP, area, Olympic medals, peak elevation, and more — and decide which figure is higher or lower. Get one right, your streak goes up. Get one wrong, the run ends.
The aim is to make learning about the world a small, low-friction habit. One game takes about a minute. The hope is that, after a few weeks, you start to recognize that Brazil has more people than Russia, or that Mongolia's capital is colder than Reykjavík.
How it works
Pick a category from the home page. We pull two random countries from a pool of 196 and show you one country's number. You guess whether the other country's number is higher or lower. Every correct call extends the streak; one wrong call ends it. The higher your streak, the better.
Where the data comes from
We use authoritative public sources for every category. Population from the UN's World Population Prospects. GDP per capita from the World Bank. Area, life expectancy, and coastline from the CIA World Factbook. Tourism from UN Tourism. Olympic medals from the IOC. Peak elevations from Wikipedia.
Stats are refreshed quarterly. If you spot a number that looks off, email us — we'll check the source and update if needed.
Free to play
Every category is free to play. The first three need no account; a free Google sign-in unlocks the rest and carries your score history between devices. We never sell user data. To cover running costs the site may show Google ads — the privacy policy explains how they work.
The atlas-magazine look
The design borrows from old-school atlases and magazine layouts: cream paper, italic Georgia headlines, ink-on-page typography, no gradients, no glow effects. The hope is that a game about the world should feel a bit like opening a printed atlas.
Who's behind it
Global Habit is built and maintained by a single developer who wanted a tiny daily ritual that taught geography by accident. Feedback, corrections, and feature requests are welcome.
