A free browser game asks you to pin the halfway point of the shortest flight route between two cities.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-28 issue.

For: Daily geography-game players and flight-route obsessives
Worth noticing: Each route is worth up to 1,000 points; a guess within 100 km earns the full score.

Field notes

The scoring awards up to 1,000 points per route, with full credit for a guess within 100 km and points decreasing with distance. Results can be copied or shared as an emoji card, while stats stay in the browser on that device rather than in a server-side account. Distance calculations assume a spherical Earth with a stated radius of 6,371 km.
