Kinpin.

1. 1
   You're given a famous person. Guess where their family name comes from — the reveal then shows where they were actually born.
2. 2
   Spin the globe by dragging (one finger on mobile) and pinch or scroll to zoom in.
3. 3
   Tap the globe to drop a pin on your best guess, then hit Lock in guess. Stuck? Tap Hint to light up the name's part of the world — but that round scores half.
4. 4
   Each round is worth up to 100 points for a bullseye, fading with distance. The true home region lights up red, deepest where the name is from.
5. 5
   Names get harder as you go, and so do the stakes: rounds 3 & 4 score 2×, round 5 scores 4×. Top score is 1000.

You're guessing where the family name comes from. Usually that's an ancestral homeland — a US-born star with an Italian name points to Italy. When a name has no separate ancestral origin, just place the person in their home country. The small label under each name (their field) is a nudge; the reveal shows where they were actually born, what they're known for, and a fun fact.
