▶ Play today's roundPast answersThe basics
- Every day you get five music-history questions, like “Where did this band play their first gig?” or “Where was this album recorded?”
- Tap the spot on the globe where you think it happened. Your first tap is your answer, so zoom and spin first.
- The closer you are, the more points you score. Then you see the real spot, a fun fact and the source.
- Share your score, challenge a friend, and come back tomorrow to keep your streak going.
Scoring
- Each question: up to 1,000 points. A perfect day is 5,000.
- Within 25 km (15 miles) of the answer: a perfect 1,000.
- After that you lose 25 points per 100 km. 4,000 km (2,500 miles) or more scores 0.
- Bonus track: tap the satellite during question 3 to unlock a sixth question worth up to 500 bonus points.
Tips
- Pinch to zoom and drag to spin the globe. A drag never counts as an answer.
- Turn on a daily reminder in the menu so you never break your streak.
- Make a private group for friends, family or coworkers in Menu → Groups.
Frequently asked questions
What is GeoTracks Music?
GeoTracks Music is a free daily music geography game. Every day there are five questions about music history (where an album was recorded, where a band formed, where a famous concert happened) and you answer by tapping the spot on a globe. The closer you are, the more points you get.
Is GeoTracks free?
Yes. It is free to play in any web browser on your phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to download and no account to make.
When does a new round come out?
A new round goes live every day at midnight in your own time zone. Everyone plays the same five questions on the same date, so scores can be compared fairly.
How is GeoTracks scored?
Each question is worth up to 1,000 points, so a perfect day is 5,000. A tap within 25 km (15 miles) of the right spot is a perfect 1,000. After that you lose 25 points for every 100 km, and anything 4,000 km (2,500 miles) or more away scores 0.
What is the bonus track?
During question 3 a satellite drifts across the screen. Tap it to unlock a bonus question after question 5, worth up to 500 extra points. Bonus points are shown with a star and are kept separate from the 5,000.
Can I play past days?
Yes. Open the menu and choose Previous days to replay earlier rounds for practice. Practice rounds do not change your streak or the leaderboard. You can also browse past answers at geotracks.app/archive.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Make a private group in Menu → Groups and send the invite link. Your group gets its own leaderboard for today and for the last 7 days. You can also share your score with a challenge link so a friend can try to beat you on the same day.
Who writes the questions?
The GeoTracks team writes and fact-checks every question, and every answer links to its source. Music creators can also write a whole day as a Question Master at geotracks.app/create.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Your streak and stats are saved on your device. To move them to another phone or computer, use Menu → Play on another device to get a one-time link code.
What languages is GeoTracks in?
English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French and German. Change it in the menu under Settings.
