Frequently asked questions

Everything about rounds, scoring, streaks and MapRivals Pro.

What is MapRivals?

MapRivals is a competitive geography quiz. Each round has 10 multiple-choice questions — maps, flags, capitals and more — with 15 seconds per question. You earn points, build a daily streak and compete on a global leaderboard.

How is my score calculated?

Every correct answer is worth 100 points, plus a speed bonus of up to 50 points — the faster you answer, the bigger the bonus. All answers are checked on our servers, so scores can't be faked.

How many rounds can I play?

Free players get 3 rounds per day. MapRivals Pro removes the limit entirely.

What is a daily streak?

Play at least one round per calendar day (UTC) and your streak grows. Miss a day and it breaks — unless you bring it back with a Streak Revival.

I lost my streak. Can I get it back?

Yes. A Streak Revival (one-time purchase, €1.99) bridges the gap: use it, play a round the same day, and your streak continues as if you never missed a day. One revival per purchase.

What do I get with MapRivals Pro?

Unlimited rounds, no ads, the exclusive categories Rivers, Peaks and Europe Deep-Dive, plus a personal stats page. €6.99 per month or €49.99 per year — cancel anytime in your account.

Which languages does MapRivals support?

The interface is available in 25 languages, including right-to-left support for Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu and Persian. Country and city names are localized too. Use the language switcher in the top bar.

Where does the map data come from?

Country borders are based on the public-domain Natural Earth dataset, flags come from the open-source flag-icons project, and localized place names come from Wikidata. Something looks off? Email us at mk@matterish.com.
