Policy
Terms of Use
These terms govern access to and use of the World Clue website, including the geography game, account features, public profiles, leaderboards, country explorer, and data explorer.
Effective date: 28 June 2026
Use of the site
You may use World Clue for personal, educational, and general informational purposes. You agree not to misuse the site, interfere with its operation, or attempt to bypass technical protections or rate limits.
Accounts
You may create a World Clue account using an email address and password or by signing in with Google. By creating an account you agree to these Terms of Use and acknowledge the Privacy Policy, including its fair-play monitoring notice. You:
- Must be at least 16 years old, or have verifiable parental or guardian consent, to create an account.
- Agree to provide accurate information and keep it up to date.
- Agree to keep your credentials confidential and not share your account.
- Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.
You may delete your account at any time through the Account settings page. Deletion removes your profile and login methods, and unlinks your game results. This action is irreversible.
Gameplay, rankings, and rewards
World Clue includes daily games, archive games, practice, leaderboards, public profiles, seasons, and reward features. Scores, rankings, rewards, and feature availability may change over time as the project evolves. We may correct, remove, or disregard results that appear fraudulent, abusive, automated, or otherwise inconsistent with fair play.
Account suspension or termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in abusive behaviour, or compromise the experience for other users — with or without prior notice.
Display names and public content
Your display name, avatar, public profile, leaderboard entries, scores, game history summaries, and season rewards may be visible to other users. If you do not set a custom display name, your name may be abbreviated (e.g. "FirstName L.") for privacy. You agree not to use a display name or profile information that is offensive, misleading, unlawful, or impersonates another person.
Competitive daily fair play
The current daily game permits one competitive attempt per person. You must not first complete or inspect the daily game as a guest and then replay it through an account, use another account or browser profile to replay it, share answers before another person's attempt, automate play, manipulate telemetry, or otherwise obtain advance knowledge of the answers.
We collect the limited fair-play evidence described in the Privacy Policy. Suspicious metrics are reviewed by a person in context. No metric, missing event, or automated score independently determines that cheating occurred, and this implementation does not make automated banning decisions.
After human review, we may disregard a result, remove ranking or season rewards, temporarily restrict competitive play, suspend an account, or terminate an account where the evidence supports a fair-play violation. To contest a decision, contact appeals@worldclue.com and identify the account and decision concerned.
Content and accuracy
World Clue aggregates country information from public sources. While the project aims to provide useful and accurate information, content may contain errors, omissions, or outdated material. The site is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
Country facts, maps, travel-related fields, rankings, charts, and generated comparisons are provided for learning and general information only. They should not be treated as professional, legal, travel, financial, safety, or emergency advice. Source datasets remain subject to their own attribution and licence terms.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the operator of World Clue shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the site.
Availability
Features may change, be interrupted, or be removed without notice. Access to the site is not guaranteed at all times.
Fair use of gameplay features
You agree not to automate abusive submissions, manipulate scores, rankings, or fair-play telemetry, overload the service, scrape the site in ways that harm availability, or use World Clue in ways that degrade the experience for others.
Privacy
Your use of the site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what data we collect and how it is handled.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Sweden. Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms or your use of the site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Sweden, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your country of residence under EU regulation.
Changes to the terms
These terms may be updated over time. The "Effective date" at the top of this page will reflect the latest revision. Account holders will be asked to accept a material new version before their next account-linked daily game.
