How to play Trailblaze
Trailblaze is Trailhead's daily deduction game: find the day's Portuguese mountain range in a handful of guesses. Each try gives you distance, bearing and altitude clues, and you eliminate ranges until you land it, in the spirit of Wordle but on the map of Portugal.
Play now · TrailblazeHow to play
- 1Type the name of a Portuguese mountain range and submit your guess.
- 2Read the clues: how far you are, which way it lies (bearing) and whether the altitude is higher or lower.
- 3Use the counter of matching ranges to rule out the ones that no longer fit the clues.
- 4Repeat until you identify the day's range within the guess limit.
Tips to score higher
- Open with a central range: it splits the map and narrows the bearing fast.
- Read distance and bearing together, not separately: two clues almost always point to one region.
- Solve at par (the optimal number of guesses) for the best rating and to build mastery.
