Qibla Guesser 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.
Which countries are in the game?
The game currently features locations from many countries around the world. The list keeps growing — want your country better represented? Send suggestions and we'll add them.

How can I support Qibla Guesser?
Qibla Guesser is free and always will be. If it brought you a little joy and you'd like to help, you can leave a tip on Ko-fi. It goes toward keeping the game free, covering its running costs, and adding new locations and features. Sharing it with friends helps just as much.
Hey — I'm a full-time dad who has trouble sleeping, so I use the free time I get to build cool stuff. I've always loved video games and hope to make fun things for everyone to play. Qibla Guesser is my first project, a game that represents my roots, and it still has a long way to go. Thanks for being here early. If you'd like to support it or just say salam, the Ko-fi and email above are the best ways to reach me.
At the Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, worshippers face the Kaaba from every direction — there is no single bearing here, because this is the very point the whole world turns toward in prayer.
In orbit there is no fixed Qibla. The Space Station circles Earth roughly every 90 minutes, so the direction of Makkah can swing nearly 180° during a single prayer.
When Malaysia sent its first astronaut to the ISS in 2007, the National Fatwa Council issued guidance: face the Qibla as best you can — first the Kaaba, then its projection, then the Earth, then wherever you are able — and focus on your intention.
