Daily Geography game · [Play Headcount](https://flightq.app/headcount) · <https://dledex.com/games/headcount>

A night-time world map shows population density as glowing dots, and a single freehand loop has to enclose a number of people as close as possible to the day's target, such as thirty million. Population is counted from gridded settlement data. Each day allows one official attempt, followed by practice replays with a live counter.
