What's new

What's new in Far Fetched, newest first.

November 2026

A new home for Far Fetched

The website has a proper front page now, and the game itself has moved to far-fetched.app/play. Old links still work: they open the game as before.

There's also a new Learn section with longer guides to alphabets, road markings, landscapes, buildings and flags, rewritten country guides, and pages explaining who makes the game and answering common questions.

Fewer ads in the game

Banner ads have been removed from the game's menus, waiting screens and results. There are never ads while you play. Ads may appear on our articles and guides, and a full-screen ad can appear between some games.

October 2026

New mode: Flags

Name countries from their flags instead of Street View, against the clock. Flags comes in Global, Solo and Survival, has its own leaderboards and earns XP. Flags games don't stamp your Passport, which stays a record of the places you've recognised in Street View.

Win Miles, keep your guest progress

Winning a Global or Ranked match against at least two other players now earns 25 Miles.

If you play as a guest and then create an account, everything you earned comes with you: XP and level, Passport stamps, stats, and the Miles your levels and wins would have paid. The game shows guests what they've unlocked so far.

Three-minute games by default

Timed modes now start at 3 minutes instead of 1. You can still pick 1 or 5 minutes. The goal hasn't changed: name as many countries as you can before the clock runs out.

Pro members get Miles every month

Far Fetched Pro now adds 750 Miles to your account every 30 days, on top of no ads, Ranked and season rewards.

Sign in with Google

You can now create an account or sign in with your Google account. New players choose a username first.

The daily challenge on Discord

The Far Fetched Discord bot posts each day's challenge in your server, keeps a server leaderboard and lets members share their scores without spoilers.

Daily challenge widget for websites

Teachers, bloggers and clubs can now add the daily challenge to their own website with one line of code. The widget has no ads and sets no cookies.

Smoother Street View

Places that won't load are now retried before anything else happens. If a place still can't be shown, it's skipped for free and flagged so it can be taken out of the game. Indoor photos have been removed, and in countries that Google has photographed itself, only Google's own imagery is used.

Ranked Season 1

The first Ranked season started on 1 October 2026. Ranked is for Far Fetched Pro members: players are matched by rating, climb from Bronze to Grandmaster, and earn a frame and title for the best rank they reach each season. Seasons last three months.

Monthly stats reports

Each month we publish which countries players found hardest and which ones they mixed up most. See the live numbers in the meantime.
