• Submit your first guess (for example - Japan).
• Check Continent, Area level, Population level and Hemisphere attributes to see what matched( =) and what didn't ( ≠). Use these for deductions.
• Check first letter of your guess.
  If its Blue, its alphabetically lower than the actual name.
  If its Red, its alphabetically higher than the actual name.
  Guess a alphabetically higher or lower name with different 1st letter.
  If its Green, its correct 1st letter. Guess another name with same 1st letter.
• Refine your guess using revealed match clues.
• Repeat (until correct Country is identified).
• 🥚 egg means you didn't heed a previous clue. Avoid getting many eggs. Up to 10 allowed in Practice mode, 7 in Play mode and none in Pro mode.
• green flag means a clean guess (with no eggs).
• red open envelope means you lost - actual name is revealed.
• Correct Country is revealed after 7th try (or if you match or lose early).
• A progress bar shows how close you are to the actual match.

• Continent - Continent on which this country is located
• Area level - Tiny(0-10K), small, medium, large(500K+) sq. miles
• Population level - Tiny(0-1M), small, medium, large(50M+)
• Hemisphere - NE(Northern & Eastern), NW, SE, SW

• A Green highlighted guessed name means actual Country starts with this same 1st letter.
• A Blue guessed name is alphabetically lower than the actual name. Guess a alphabetically higher name starting with different 1st letter.
• Red guessed name is alphabetically higher than the actual name. Guess a alphabetically lower name.
• Black letters reveal no clues. You can ignore them.
• For example - Tom Cruise - This means hidden name is alphabetically lower. Thus, Brad Pitt could be a good next guess.
• Correct Country is revealed after 7th try (or if you lose or match or give up early).

• Type first 3 letters (4 letters in Pro mode) of the guessed name. Don't type more than 6 letters if you wish to use autocomplete.
• Wait for the dropdown list of matching names to appear. In couple seconds, you will see a dropdown list of matching names.
• Choose a matching name from the displayed list.
• If there are no matching names, nothing would show up. In that case, please try a different spelling or another name.

Here is a autocomplete sample.

• Share the face-off link with others so that they can join the game. Link expires in 15 minutes.
• Everyone who plays using the shared face-off link gets the same hidden name to guess. See who can guess it better.
• Your time starts when you make the first guess. You don't have to start at the same time as others.
• Each player can play the face-off game in the difficulty mode they choose. For example one player can play it in Practice mode while the other can play Pro mode.
• Compare your score with others to see who won the face-off.
