Frequently Asked Questions

A daily flag-guessing game. Every day there's a new country, and the only clue is a pie chart showing the exact colour breakdown of its flag. Five guesses, hints unlock as you go.

Yes, and it always will be. The daily game, stats, sharing results, and the public leaderboard are all free, no account needed.

No. You can play as a guest with stats saved to your own browser. Creating a free account lets your stats and streak follow you across devices.

Yes, genuinely exact. Each flag's colours are measured directly from its official design, pixel by pixel, not estimated or rounded to something that looks clean.

Some flags have tiny design details, a thin outline, a small emblem, that make up less than 1% of the flag's total area. These are left off the main chart so the percentages always add up to 100%, rather than showing something like 0.3%. If a flag has any of these, up to 5 show up as small dots underneath, so you're not missing the full picture, just the exact number.

Flagpie covers the 193 United Nations member states, plus a handful of other places, Kosovo, Palestine, Taiwan, Vatican City, and Western Sahara, that have their own distinct, official flags and commonly appear in standard country lists (the same kind used for ISO country codes or international sporting events). They're included because they have real, recognisable flags worth knowing, not to make any statement on political recognition or sovereignty, which is a matter for governments and international bodies, not a flag game.

No. Flagpie is an independent, one-person project with no government, political, or organisational affiliation of any kind.

Five.

Each wrong guess unlocks the next hint: neighbouring countries, then population, then size, then continent. Your fifth guess is the last chance, no new hint after that.

The answer is revealed, and you can see the real flag.

Yes, through the Archive, which is a subscriber perk, subscribers get full access to browse the calendar and play any past day.

It resets to zero. Your best-ever streak stays saved separately, even after your current one ends.

Yes. If you've been playing as a guest, your existing stats merge into your new account the first time you sign in.

Yes, from your account page, with a 30-day cooldown between changes.

Full access to the Archive, extra statistics (like your best continents), zero ads, and early access to new features and game modes, including Flagpie: Draw.

Lifetime is a one-time payment for permanent access, but it's only available to founding subscribers in the first few months after launch, once that window closes, it's gone for good and won't come back. Monthly is billed every month and can be cancelled any time. Both include the exact same benefits while they're both available.

Yes, from your account page. Cancelling stops future billing, and you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.

A separate daily game where you draw the day's flag yourself, entirely from memory, using a colour wheel and some simple drawing tools.

Three ways, then averaged into one score out of 100: Colour Accuracy (how close your shades are to the real ones), Colour Proportion (whether you used the right amount of each colour), and Placement (whether your colours ended up in the right spots).

It's currently in an early testing period for subscribers only, while feedback comes in. It'll open up to everyone once that's done.

No, never. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.

Your account and associated stats are permanently removed. This can be done any time from your account page.
