How to play Far-Fetched

01

Make the truth call

Seven headlines mix five true stories with two fabricated ones. Read the claim and choose REAL or FAKE. Correct quick calls earn more; a wrong call can cost points.

02

Find the place

A real story opens the map. Tap a region to zoom in, tap again to place your pin, then press LOCK IN. You have 20 seconds for the location stage.

03

Read the result

Compare your pin with the revealed location and read the linked story. Your total moves the character’s jaw; continue through all seven headlines to reach the daily result.

KNOW WHAT YOU’RE AIMING FOR

Far-Fetched scoring

A correct truth call and a precise map guess earn separate rewards. Location points depend on distance, the country and a speed bonus. Penalties reduce your score and pull the jaw back up.

Two calls from a checked round

These calls were entered on October 31, 2026. The location stage adds points separately.

CallPoint changeRunning total
REAL on a fabricated headline−75−75
REAL on a true headline+9621 before map points

The truth call and the location guess are separate decisions. Watch the available points beside the headline, then use the map clues for the next stage.

Far-Fetched questions

Does a fake headline need a map guess?

The map stage is for real stories. A fabricated story is resolved by the Real/Fake call.

How do I place a pin?

Tap a region on the world map to zoom in, tap the location you want, then press LOCK IN before the 20-second timer ends.

Does a strange headline have to be fake?

No. Five of the seven stories are real. Judge what the headline actually claims before using its location clues.

What does the jaw-drop distance mean?

It follows the score of your round. Earning points drops the jaw farther; a point penalty pulls it back up.

Start this game again?

Reloading reopens the original game. Your current run may be lost.
