How to play the Game Nils

To start playing, you first need to register for an account. The registration process is simple—just choose a username and password, then click the submit button. If the username isn’t already taken, your account will be created instantly.

Map Table to select from

Once registered, log in with your username and password. After logging in, you’ll see a table listing all available maps. You can search for your favorite city by typing its name, then click on the corresponding row to select it. Next, choose the initial level of detail for the map. The higher the level, the fewer clouds will be removed at the start—making the game more challenging.

New Game Set

Each game set consists of nine rounds (three rounds for players using a mobile browser). In each round, you’ll see an Eye Icon on the satellite map, marking the target location within your selected city. Your task is to pinpoint this location on the mini-map in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Game UI

For a better playing experience, you can maximize or minimize the mini-map to focus on either the satellite map or the mini-map. You can also switch the mini-map’s style between satellite view and street view.

Satellite Map and Mini Map Side by Side

If you can’t recognize the area right away, you can erase clouds on the satellite map to reveal more details. However, the more clouds you remove, the lower your score. Your final score for each round is based on how many clouds you erased and how close your guessed location is to the actual target. The fewer clouds removed and the more accurate your guess, the higher your score.

In a full game set, you can achieve a maximum score of 9,000 points (1,000 per round). After completing a game set, you can either start another round in the same city or choose a different city to explore.
