About Hemiscope

Hemiscope is a small set of daily geography and history puzzles: guess the mystery country, tap it on a 3D globe, place it on stat sliders, and put history in order. One new puzzle per game, per day.

Made by Kyro Game Studios

Hemiscope is made by Kyro Game Studios. No publisher, no ad agency picking placements — just a small studio building daily puzzle games.

Where the country data comes from

Country facts (population, area, capitals, flags, government, climate, borders) start from the public restcountries.com dataset and are hand-curated on top for accuracy and to fix gaps in the raw data. Figures like population and area reflect the most recent published snapshot of that dataset — they can lag real-world changes by a year or more, and if you spot one that looks wrong, it’s worth a second look rather than taken as gospel.

Where the history data comes from

Timeline draws from a fact-checked set of historical events built specifically for the game, each with a verified year. It’s not exhaustive — it’s a curated slice, not an encyclopedia.

How the daily puzzle works

Each day’s puzzle is generated deterministically from the date, so everyone playing on a given day gets the same one. There’s no account, no server round-trip to fetch your puzzle, and no personal data involved in picking it — see the Privacy page for the full picture of what is and isn’t stored.
