Polyglobe: Guess the Language
Polyglobe is a free language guessing game from Bubblegum. It is like GeoGuessr, but for languages. You hear a short clip of someone speaking. Then you drop a pin on the world map where you think that language is spoken. Every clip comes from a real lesson in the Bubblegum library.
How to Play
- Listen to the clip.
- Drop a pin on the map where you think people speak that language.
- A pin in the right region scores 5,000 points. Anywhere else that speaks the language scores at least 3,000, and the closer you get, the more you score.
- After you guess, you see the answer, the words from the clip, and a fun fact about the language.
Ways to Play
- Daily: a new challenge every day. Everyone gets the same five clips.
- Classic: five rounds on the map.
- Streak: name the language you hear. Keep going until you miss one.
- Rapid: name the language in ten quick rounds, with 20 seconds each.
- Arena: play live with friends. Everyone hears the same clip at the same time.
- Challenge a Friend: share your game, and your friend plays the same clips and tries to reach your score.
- Explorer: collect every language you find and earn a medal for each one.
