Step 1
Name the moment
One line is enough โ an event, a place, a year you half-remember. Or let the AI draft five moments around a theme.
๐ฆ๐ถ Antarctica
Historical moments set in Antarctica, drawn from the community library and past Daily Challenges. Read the landscape, the architecture and the light in each 360ยฐ scene, then commit to a place and a year.
Ranked on each explorer's best five-round run as a share of the perfect score.
You don't need a photograph or a map reference. Name a moment โ "a moment Antarcticans would recognise instantly" โ and the builder fills in the year, drops the pin, writes the factoid and paints a 360ยฐ scene you can stand inside. Publish it and it joins this collection for everyone.
Step 1
One line is enough โ an event, a place, a year you half-remember. Or let the AI draft five moments around a theme.
Step 2
The year, the exact coordinates and a one-sentence factoid come back filled in. Everything stays editable.
Step 3
A 4K 360ยฐ panorama of that place in that year, ready to spin around inside the game.
๐ฆ๐ถ Put your own scene on /play/antarctica
AI drafting is free โ auto-fill a moment or draft five at once at no cost. Credits only cover the 4K panorama (20 each). Your map stays yours โ you choose whether it's public, unlisted or private.
Moments Antarcticans want to see in the game. Vote them up โ the top of this list gets built next.
Each round drops you into a 360ยฐ scene from Antarctica's past. Look around for clues โ architecture, clothing, technology, landscape โ then place the scene on the world map and pick the year. You score up to 5,000 points a round: closer in distance and closer in time both pay. Five rounds make a game.
