Some ideas to add to worldguessr

Gameplay & Meta Suggestions

  • Add Native “No Move” (NM) and “No Move / Pan / Zoom” (NMPZ) Ranked Duel Modes: Many competitive players prefer playing without moving around the map. Adding these options to ranked 1v1 matchmaking would bridge the gap for hardcore meta-guessers.
  • Implement a Replay/Analysis Feature: A post-game tool allowing players to see their opponent’s actual pathing or movements during a round would be incredibly useful for catching cheaters and learning new metas.
  • Infinite Rematches for Friendly 1v1s: Currently, friendly 1v1s are limited to standard 5-round matches. A settings toggle for “Infinite Rounds” or an instant “Rematch” button in the lobby would improve the custom game experience.

Profile & Progression Suggestions

  • Advanced Country Streak and Guess Statistics: A profile dashboard that tracks correct vs. incorrect country guesses. For instance, a breakdown showing you have an 85% accuracy rate in South America but only 40% in Eastern Europe.
  • Earnable Cosmetics & Profile Banners: Instead of just grinding for leaderboard ELO, a system of unlocked cosmetic badges, titles, or profile card backgrounds for achieving milestones (like hitting a 20-country daily streak).

Quality-of-Life (QOL) Tweaks

  • In-Game Compass Toggle for Mobile: Navigating on mobile can be clunky. A prominent UI compass that snaps the camera back to true North on a double tap would drastically improve mobile gameplay.
  • Map-Maker Discovery Update: An upvote/downvote and tag filter system for community-made maps so players can easily find high-quality specialized maps (like “Urban Only” or “Intersection Guessing”) without endless scrolling.
