Blitz 120s is Geobeast's very first multiplayer mode!
In this mode, two players compete head-to-head on the world map. One plays as Blue, the other as Red. The objective is simple: capture as many countries as possible before the timer runs out.
Each match lasts 120 seconds. Every correctly identified country earns 1 point and becomes locked, meaning your opponent can no longer capture it. Speed, accuracy, and quick decision-making are the keys to victory.
From the main menu, select Multiplayer.
Click Play.
The game automatically searches for an opponent using Steam public lobbies.
As soon as another player joins, the match starts automatically.
Type country names to capture them before your opponent does.
1v1 matches.
Match duration: 120 seconds.
1 captured country = 1 point.
Once a country has been captured, it cannot be claimed by the other player.
The player with the most points at the end wins.
If both players finish with the same score, the match ends in a draw.
Multiplayer uses Steam networking features. Steam must be running and you must be logged in.
Matches are hosted through Steam public lobbies.
Blitz 120s is designed for fast-paced, competitive, and highly replayable games.
A dedicated Blitz 120s leaderboard tracks your multiplayer statistics, including wins, losses, draws/cancelled matches, and overall progression.
Thank you to everyone who plays Geobeast and helps the game grow.
Jump into a match, conquer the globe, and prove that you're the ultimate geography expert!
The Pixel Mode is now available in Geobeast!

The game is live. The global leaderboard too.
From your very first run, your score counts. Every point brings you closer to the top of the Steam leaderboard.
-> 12 minutes. One globe. One goal: score as high as possible. Memory, speed and decision-making will make the difference from the very first runs.
Normal Mode
Pure performance. 1 country = 1 point. Perfect for fast, precise and consistent players.
Jumbo Mode
High risk… and very high reward. Chain neighboring countries to multiply your score and pull away from the other players. One mistake can cost you, but a strong streak can launch you straight to the top.
Geobeast launches tomorrow on Steam and the first leaderboard spots are up for grabs.
From the moment the game goes live, the global Steam leaderboard is active and every score counts.
The first hours matter. Players who jump in early will have a real advantage to secure a spot at the top.
The concept is simple:
12 minutes to find as many countries as possible on the globe.
Every run counts. Every score adds up.
Two modes, two playstyles
Normal Mode
Straightforward and competitive.
One country found equals one point.
Speed and accuracy make the difference.
Jumbo Mode
Higher risk, higher reward.
Chain neighboring countries to multiply your score.
Strategy is key if you want to push for top scores.
Global leaderboard and Steam achievements
Geobeast also features a large number of Steam achievements to unlock.
Some reward performance, others consistency or smart risk-taking depending on the mode.
Playing from day one gives you a head start on both the leaderboard and achievement progression.
Add Geobeast to your wishlist and be ready to play at launch.
The top spots will not stay open for long.
Geobeast is coming soon to Steam!
Think you really know the world map? Now’s the time to prove it. In Geobeast, the concept is simple: find as many countries as possible on the globe before the timer runs out. You have 12 minutes, not a second more. Every run counts, and your score is automatically recorded in the global Steam leaderboard.
Two modes, two vibes: Normal Mode
Pure competitive mode. Each country found = 1 point. Speed, memory, and accuracy make all the difference. Jumbo Mode
The fun and strategic mode. Here, points can explode: find a country, then a neighboring one to double your score, a third to triple it, and so on. Choose wisely — strategy is key. Whether you’re here to chase high scores or just test your geography skills, Geobeast is for you.
Add the game to your wishlist to be ready on launch day!
