About CricketMap India

The game

Every day, everyone gets the same five questions about Indian cricket - a World Cup final, a famous innings, a player's birthplace, a stadium. You drop a pin on the map; the closer you are, the more points you earn, up to 5,000 per game.

The daily challenge resets at midnight Indian Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30). You can play as a guest, or create a free account to keep your streak and scores on any device.

Scoring

Points depend only on the straight-line (great-circle) distance between your pin and the correct place. The distance and score are always calculated on the server.

• Within 5 km: 1000 points
• Within 25 km: 900 points
• Within 50 km: 800 points
• Within 100 km: 700 points
• Within 250 km: 550 points
• Within 500 km: 400 points
• Within 1000 km: 250 points
• Within 2000 km: 120 points
• Further away: 50 points

Leaderboards rank the total score of your live (same-day) games; ties go to the faster player. Replaying a past challenge is practice only.

Where the answers come from

Each question links to a public source, usually Wikipedia, and the coordinates are checked against it. For player questions we say clearly whether we mean the birthplace or the place the player grew up - these are often different. Stadium answers use the stadium's real location, not just the city.

If you think an answer is wrong, please tell us - questions with doubts are moved back to draft.

Map & borders

The map uses OpenStreetMap-compatible tiles (© OpenStreetMap contributors). Boundaries are shown as the tile provider draws them; the game does not take a position on any border and the borders play no part in scoring - only distance between two points does.
