Road Trip

You're at one stadium. Point toward the next one.

How to play Road Trip

  1. Each day has five away trips between venues in one league.
  2. You're at the first venue: turn the compass needle toward the second. North is always up.
  3. Lock it in to see the real direction. Your score is the degrees you were off, added up over the five trips. Lower is better.

Questions

How is it scored?
Each trip adds the number of degrees between your needle and the real direction, the short way round, so the most one trip can cost is 180. A perfect day is 0. 125 or less for the five trips counts as a win.
Which direction counts as right?
The straight line from one venue to the other on an ordinary north-up map. (A plane's shortest route over the globe starts out a little further north on long trips, but on a map, which is how most people picture it, New York to Los Angeles points just south of west.)
Where do the venues come from?
Every team's current home in MLB, the NBA, the NFL and the NHL, at the coordinates on its Wikipedia article. Two teams that share a building, or sit within 500 km of each other, never make a trip together.
When does a new puzzle come out?
Every day at midnight Pacific time. Everyone in the world gets the same puzzle, so you can compare results with friends.
Can I play past puzzles?
Yes. Every past day is in the archive. Sign in with a free account to play the last 7 days, or go Premium for every past puzzle. Archive games don't count toward your streak or the daily leaderboard.
