Daily geography game
Where do everyday things come from?
Made Of is a free daily geography game — a Wordle for geography, but instead of letters you trace an object back to the top producing countries behind it.
Each day, everyone in the world gets the same everyday object (the first was a chocolate bar). It is broken into 4–6 ingredients or materials. For each part you pick the country you think is the world’s #1 producer. Your score for that part is the country’s real producer rank. It is golf: lower is better. At the end you see the object’s journey on a map and where you placed among today’s players.
There is no sign-up and no app to install. A new object goes live at local midnight. Play is free.
Play today’s objectHow to play
- Open the daily object and look at each part — cocoa, sugar, milk, and so on.
- For every part, pick the country you think produces the most of it. You can tap the world map or search by name.
- Your points equal that country’s real producer rank. The #1 producer scores 1. A country outside the top 15 scores 16.
- Add up the parts. A perfect score is 1 point per part. Lower totals win, like golf. After you finish, you’ll see today’s average and how you compared.
Example: Chocolate bar · Cocoa beans → you pick Ghana. Ghana is the #3 producer, so that part scores 3.
Where the ranks come from
Made Of is a fact game as much as a geography game. The ranked lists of top producing countries are generated from official datasets, not typed from memory:
- Crops, livestock, and processed foods come from FAOSTAT (Crops and livestock products). The game uses the latest year in the current release — 2024 for primary items, 2023 for some processed foods — and drops regional aggregates.
- Minerals and industrial materials come from the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026, using the 2025 estimated world-production figures.
Every reveal in the game cites the source, the item, and the data year. Some top figures are estimates or close races; the game notes that when it matters.
Past puzzles
After a day has ended everywhere on Earth, we publish an archive page for that object: its parts, the top producing countries, and the sources. We never publish today’s or future answers — those stay in the daily game.
