How to Play CricketMap India
Five questions. One map. No multiple choice - just your sense of Indian cricket geography.
1. Read the question
Every player gets the same five Indian cricket questions on a given day - a World Cup final, a famous innings, a player's hometown or a stadium.
2. Drop your pin
Tap or click anywhere on the map. On a phone, you can line up the crosshair and tap “Pin at centre”. Confirm when you're ready - you can't change it after that.
3. See your score
The server measures the real distance between your pin and the answer and awards points. After five questions, compare your total on the daily, weekly and all-time leaderboards.
Scoring, in detail
Points depend only on the straight-line (great-circle) distance between your pin and the correct location. Both the distance and the score are always calculated on the server - the app never trusts a score computed in the browser.
| Distance from the answer | Points |
|---|---|
| Within 5 km | 1000 |
| Within 25 km | 900 |
| Within 50 km | 800 |
| Within 100 km | 700 |
| Within 250 km | 550 |
| Within 500 km | 400 |
| Within 1000 km | 250 |
| Within 2000 km | 120 |
| Further away | 50 |
A perfect game across all 5 questions is capped at 5,000 points.
Rules that keep it fair
- Questions must be answered in order, one at a time - you can't skip ahead or see the map answer before guessing.
- One game per player per daily challenge, enforced by the database.
- Only live, same-day games count for leaderboards and streaks - replaying a past challenge from the archive is practice.
