About Drop The Pin
A daily map trivia game.
The idea
Most trivia is text in, text out. Drop The Pin turns the answer into a place. You read a prompt, you look at a world map, you drop a pin on the spot you think is right. Your score is how close the pin lands to the target. There’s no buzzer, no time pressure in the cruel sense, just five questions and a map.
One pack, everyone, every day
Every player gets the exact same pack each day — the same five prompts, the same map, the same scoring. You play it once. The leaderboard shows where you landed. Tomorrow there’s a new pack. Yesterday’s pack moves into the public archive with its answers exposed, so you can browse the geography or play it again in practice mode.
Why we built it
Two things were missing from the daily-puzzle landscape: a game that wasn’t a guess-the-word grid, and a game that was about places, not panoramic photos. Drop The Pin is the intersection — trivia structure, map answers, and a single shared pack a day so the conversation around it is shared too.
Who’s behind it
Drop The Pin is a personal project. No staff, no investors, no data-broker pipeline. The site runs on Vercel, the content is managed in Sanity, and identity is optional — anonymous play is the default (a random device id in your browser) and you can optionally sign in with an email so your runs follow you across devices. The privacy policy walks through exactly what gets collected.
