Pin Drop

Turns the question around: you know the five places and must pin each on a blank world map, then see your distance next to everyone else's, a direct workout for the map sense Globle: Capitals relies on.
Games like Globle: Capitals
Globle: Capitals, from Trainwreck Labs, hides one capital city each day, and the aim is to reach it with the smallest number of guesses. Every wrong capital you name lands on a 3D globe in a color that shows how close it is, hotter meaning nearer, and each new guess adds a colored arc that helps steer the next. The site illustrates a hunt for Cairo with stops in Ottawa, Tokyo, Pretoria and Brasilia. Watching the arcs tighten around the right city is what makes each hunt satisfying.
Two quick map and capital games open the list. Then come the closest matches, other hunts for a hidden capital or city guided by distance, followed by the country version of Globle, globe-tapping and bearing puzzles, and a few capital-city quizzes to round it out.

Capitale
capitale.countryle.com · Geography
The nearest match in rules: you name a mystery capital, and every wrong answer tells you how close you are, the same warmer-or-colder logic in a different presentation.
DailyPlay ↗
Capitalle
capitalle.app · Geography
Six guesses at a mystery capital drawn from all 193, along with a harder setting and rounds for practice, a fixed limit that makes each pick count in a way an open-ended hunt does not.

Globle
Trainwreck Labs · globle-game.com · Geography

Citydle

WorldPlay

Questions
How do the colors and arcs work in Globle: Capitals?
Each miss is painted onto the globe, warmer the closer that capital lies to the answer. Every additional guess also draws a colored arc, so a few misses on different continents quickly box in the right region. A low guess count is the whole score.
Who makes Globle: Capitals, and is there a country version?
Trainwreck Labs makes it and answers questions through Discord and an FAQ page. The page links to Globle for countries, where naming any nation shades the globe by distance.
Which games also ask you to find a capital?
Capitale and Capitalle both hide a mystery capital: Capitale steers you by how near each wrong guess is, while Capitalle gives six guesses and draws from all 193 capitals. Atlas works the other way, naming a country and asking you to tap its capital on a globe, and Capital Sprint quizzes you on capitals against the clock.
