In one line
Meridish is a free daily food geography game: seven dishes a day, and you tap the map where each one was born.
The short version
Every day at midnight UTC, Meridish serves the whole world the same seven-course tasting menu, from an aperitif to dessert. For each dish, players see a photo and a clue, then tap the map where they think it was born: not just the country, but the town or city. The closer the guess, the more points, up to 700 a menu. Afterwards players see where the dish really comes from, how their guess compares with everyone else's, and an emoji result to share that never gives the answers away.

What makes it different
- Hometowns, not countries. Carbonara isn't just Italian; Meridish asks where in Italy. A guess in the right country scores well, and the right city scores perfectly.
- Every clue is a story. A bartender's experiment, a wartime shortage, a rivalry between two towns. Clues hint at the place without naming it, and players learn the story behind the answer.
- You play against the world. After each course players see how close everyone else got, and where the world thought the dish came from.
- Disputes are part of the fun. When two places claim a dish, Meridish pins the more common claim and the clue mentions the rival.
