It's a game. The places are real.

Nothing you do in FixThe.Earth changes anything in the real world. The point is that you leave knowing where these places are and what is happening to them.

What this is

FixThe.Earth is a free, 60-second browser game made by one person as a side project. The 100 places on the map are real: the coordinates are accurate and the satellite imagery is the actual place. The problems are real too. The "fixes" are not. Sweeping a river clean with your finger is a game mechanic, not a cleanup, and the health percentage is a score, not a measurement of the planet.

The game is not affiliated with any of the organisations, companies, governments or communities mentioned on the place pages.

Where the facts come from

Each place has a one-line issue and a short paragraph. They are deliberately short, kept conservative, and written from public sources, mainly Wikipedia, which every place links to for the full picture. They are summaries, not reporting, and conditions change: a river that was choked with waste in 2018 may be in better or worse shape today. If something is wrong or out of date, email fixtheearth.today@gmail.com and it will be corrected.

Map imagery is from Esri World Imagery and OpenFreeMap, used under their free-use terms with attribution on the map.

Privacy

There are no accounts. Your restored places, best score and settings are stored in your own browser and never leave it. The game sends anonymous play statistics (which places were fixed, scores, whether a round was finished) to PostHog so the game can be improved; these are tied to a random id, not to you, and session recording is off. The game respects your browser's Do Not Track setting. Challenge links contain only the seed and score they show.
