The Year of the Map Game

I've said it before but 2024 is the Year of the Map Game.

Every day of 2024 a new map game is released*. Today's game is Metrodle, a fun daily challenge to identify a station on the London Underground map.

Every day Metrodle shows you an unlabeled station on a map of the London Underground. Your task is to simply name the mapped station based on your microscopic knowledge of the London tube. You have six attempts to name the correct station and will receive clues after each unsuccessful guess.

After each incorrect guess you are informed how many stations you are away from the correct answer and in which direction you need to travel. If you know all 272 stations on the London Underground like the back of your hand then you will have no problem in identifying the correct station from the clues provided. If your knowledge of the London Underground is a little more limited then you can always cheat by consulting the official London Underground map.

If you are a fan of London Tube games then you are in luck. Metrodle follows in the footsteps of the hugely popular London Tube Memory Game and my own hugely unpopular Tubebusters game.

If daily game challenges are your thing then you might prefer Travle (a daily challenge to connect locations on a map) or any of the games featured in the post The 10 Best Wordle Like Map Games.
