How to Play Tradle

Tradle shows you a treemap visualization of a country's top exports. Your job is to guess which country the export data belongs to.

After each guess, the game shows you how far away your guess is from the correct country in kilometers and provides a directional arrow pointing toward the answer.

The treemap shows export categories sized by their proportion of total exports. Large blocks represent the country's dominant industries, while small blocks show minor exports.

You have 6 attempts to guess the correct country. The puzzle resets daily at midnight UTC.

Tips & Strategy

  • Look at the dominant export category first. If the largest block is crude petroleum, think major oil exporters like Saudi Arabia, Norway, or Nigeria. If it is electronics, consider China, South Korea, or Taiwan.
  • The color coding of export categories is consistent. Learn to recognize that green usually represents agriculture, blue is manufacturing, and brown is mining or raw materials.
  • Use the distance and direction clues aggressively. If your first guess is 5,000 km northwest of the answer, you can eliminate entire continents.
  • Diversify your knowledge of smaller economies. Countries like Bangladesh (garments), Chile (copper), or Ethiopia (coffee) have very distinctive export profiles.
