Qibla Finder is a free daily game. Each day you're dropped into five famous places around the world and challenged to point toward the Qibla — the direction Muslims face in prayer, toward the Kaaba in Makkah. It's a light, fun way to sharpen your sense of direction and keep the Qibla in mind wherever you are. Five new locations load every day.
What is the Qibla?
The direction Muslims face during salah (prayer) — toward the Kaaba inside the Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
How is the Qibla direction calculated?
The game uses the great-circle bearing — the shortest path across the surface of the globe — from each location to the Kaaba (21.42°N, 39.83°E). This is the same method qibla compasses and prayer apps use.
Is the Qibla shown in the game accurate?
Yes. The correct direction for every location is computed mathematically from its real coordinates, so the green "true Qibla" arrow points to the actual bearing. That said, this is a game made for fun — for your daily prayers, please rely on a dedicated qibla compass or app.
How do I get a higher score?
Read the scene — use the sun, shadows and the landmark to orient yourself — then face toward Makkah. The closer your aim to the true bearing, the more points you earn (up to 786 per round).
Do I need an account? Is it free?
No account, no sign-up, completely free. Just open it and play — five new places appear each day.
Why these locations?
They're famous, recognizable spots around the world with good Street View coverage. More are added over time, inshaAllah.
