Tradle
Guess the country from its exports
The game where you guess the country by its exports
Tradle is a free daily geography game: each day you see a treemap of a mystery country's top exports, from crude petroleum and cars to coffee and microchips, and you have six guesses to name the country. Every guess shows the distance, direction and how close you are. Play the shared daily challenge or unlimited practice.
Today’s Tradle is a fresh mystery country, the same one for everyone, so you can compare how many guesses it took, then switch to unlimited practice for as many rounds as you like.

Three steps to guess the country
Study the treemap
Each coloured block is a top export product, sized by its share of the country's exports and grouped by category. The biggest block is the biggest export.
Guess a country
You have six guesses. After each one you see the distance in kilometres, an arrow pointing toward the answer, and a proximity percentage.
Close the gap
Read the mix of exports and follow the distance clues to zero in on the right country before your guesses run out.

An economy in a single picture
A treemap turns a country's whole export basket into one image. The bigger a product's rectangle, the larger its share of what the country sells to the world, so the shape of the map is a fingerprint of the economy.
One giant block
A single product filling most of the map means a concentrated economy, like crude petroleum for Saudi Arabia or Nigeria, or copper for Chile. These are often the quickest to guess.
Many small blocks
A patchwork of cars, machinery, chemicals and electronics points to a large, diversified economy like Germany, the United States or China. The distance clues matter more here.
Two ways to play
Play one shared mystery country each day, or jump into unlimited practice and guess as many as you like.
Daily Challenge
One new country every day at midnight. Everyone in the world gets the same exports puzzle, so you can compare guess counts, share your result grid and keep a daily streak alive.
Unlimited Practice
Tradle unlimited: play random countries back to back with no daily cap. It is the fastest way to learn what the world actually trades, from oil and cars to cocoa and microchips. Stuck on a puzzle? In-game hints give you a real clue about the country.
Tips to guess the country in fewer tries
Oil tells a story
A treemap dominated by crude petroleum and gas points to the Gulf states, Russia, Nigeria or Venezuela. Petroleum gas as the biggest block often means Qatar or Norway.
Follow the machines
Cars at the top suggest Germany, Japan or South Korea. A huge integrated circuits block points to chip hubs like Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia or Singapore.
Single-crop economies
One dominant crop is a giveaway: cocoa for Côte d'Ivoire or Ghana, coffee for Ethiopia or Colombia, milk for New Zealand, palm oil for Indonesia.
Use the arrow
Once you have a rough guess, the distance and direction arrow narrow it down fast. Guess a large neighbour and let the arrow point you the rest of the way.
Read the colours
The category colours summarise an economy at a glance: lots of amber means an energy exporter, green means agriculture, blue means manufacturing and electronics.
Where the data comes from
Each country’s export breakdown is based on data from the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), the standard public source for international trade. The percentages shown are approximate, rounded shares of each country’s total goods exports, chosen to convey the relative size of each product rather than exact trade statistics. Product names follow the OEC’s HS groupings. Last reviewed June 2026.
