Find real anime locations on a globe, 5 questions a day
2 followers
GeoAnime is a free daily map game for anime fans. Each day you get 5 text hints about real places linked to anime, like the towns and shrines behind famous scenes. Tap the spot on a 3D globe. The closer and faster you are, the more you score, up to 1,000 points. Everyone gets the same 5 questions, so you can compare scores with friends. No sign-up needed. The hints are text only, with no images from the shows.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm the solo maker of GeoAnime, and I live in Japan.
There are daily map games about geography and sports, and I wanted one for anime. In Japan, fans travel to the real places that appear in anime. It's called "anime pilgrimage." So I made a game where you read a hint about a scene, then tap where it is on the globe.
For example: "The railway crossing from the Slam Dunk opening, where a small train passes in front of the sea." Where would you tap?
How it works:
5 questions a day, the same for everyone. New questions at midnight Japan time (15:00 UTC).
The first three questions usually name the anime. The last two hide it and count triple.
Closer and faster means more points. The maximum is 1,000.
No sign-up. Google login is optional (for the leaderboard and clans).
The daily game is free. There's an optional paid plan for past days, only in Japan for now.
How it was made: I built it with Claude Code, an AI coding tool. Claude drafts the questions from sources on the web, and I check each one before it goes in. There are no images from the shows, only text hints. I don't read English well, so Claude helped me write this post, and I may reply slowly.
It's still early, and I'd really like your feedback:
Which hint felt unfair, especially if you only know the English titles?
What would make you come back tomorrow?
Please don't post today's answers in the comments, so others can still play. Thanks for trying it!
