Line markings
Yellow centre lines, white dashes, or no lines at all differ by country and region.
About Roads
Roads are packed with clues that change at every border: line markings, signposts, bollards, crash barriers, and the side people drive on.
Players who know their road signs love this theme, but even without them the landscape along the road gives plenty away.
Clues to Look For
Signs and bollards
The colours and shapes of road signs and the posts along the roadside are distinct in many countries.
Side of the road
Traffic on the left rules out most of the world, from Japan to the United Kingdom to South Africa.
How It Works
Look closely
Every round shows a real photograph from somewhere on the planet. Signs, plants, architecture, cars, and even the light can give the place away.
Drop your pin
Place your guess on the world map. Zoom in as far as you like, the closer your pin, the better.
Score and discover
See where the photo was really taken, how far off you were, and what makes the place special. Five photos make a game.

FAQ
Can I play Roads for free?
Yes. Try a game of Roads with no account. With a free account you can play as much as you like and with your friends.
How are the points calculated?
Your points depend on the distance between your pin and the place the photo was taken. A pin right on the spot earns the most, and the further away you are, the fewer points you get.
Where do the photos come from?
The photographs come from openly licensed and publicly available media. Each image is credited with its origin when we have that information.
