About LingoGuessr

Hear the language. Guess the place. Discover the world.

LingoGuessr is a free browser game built around one simple idea: play a short voice clip from somewhere in the world, and see if you can place it on the map. There's no login wall and no download – you can start guessing within seconds of landing on the homepage.

Why we built it

Geography-guessing games are everywhere, but almost all of them work from photos. We wanted something built around listening instead – accents, rhythm, and the sound of a language rather than street signs or architecture. LingoGuessr grew out of that idea: a way to sharpen your ear for languages while learning a bit of geography (and a lot of trivia) along the way.

What's in the game

The core loop is the same everywhere: listen, guess a spot on the map, see how close you were. Around that core there are a few different ways to play:

Daily Challenge – the same five rounds for everyone, once a day, shareable like a Wordle score.
Singleplayer modes – difficulty tiers from Easy to Impossible, regional/accent-focused rounds, an Ancient Languages mode, and Survival, an endless run that ends the moment you guess too far off.
Multiplayer – casual lobbies with friends, ranked 1v1 and 2v2 duels with a Bronze-to-Champion league system, and twist modes like Lightning (speed-based scoring), Sudden Death, and Sabotage.

The language pool currently covers 150+ languages and regional accents across every inhabited continent, each with a short fact card that shows up after you guess – the idea is to leave with a small piece of trivia even on rounds you get wrong.
