Question 1

How do you play ColonyGuessr?

Accepted Answer

Each day you get one region on an unlabeled map. Name every power that colonized it — the puzzle tells you how many there are — within four more guesses than there are answers. Wrong guesses come back with a near-miss nudge and an escalating hint.

Question 2

What counts as colonization?

Accepted Answer

Colonized is used loosely: military occupation, settler colonialism, chartered-company rule, protectorates and economic hegemony all count. Every answer is sourced, and the post-game recap cites what happened.

Question 3

How often is there a new puzzle?

Accepted Answer

One puzzle per UTC day. A new region unlocks at midnight UTC.
