Non-exhaustive list of daily games you can play to help you learn things about the world:
• Worldle - a "guess the country" style geography game with lots of bonus rounds that go through facts about the daily country and the surrounding ones (there is also Statele, a US-centric game by the same people set up in the same way)
• Wheretaken - guess where a photograph was taken with bonus rounds featuring more information about the location and country (also a US-based version and pin-based location guessing version)
• Travle - geography game that asks you to find the shortest path between two countries (also has multiple game modes for traveling within individual countries and a weekly challenge that usually includes a caveat to the travel path, such as only following the coastline or avoiding one specific country)
• Metazooa - a "guess the animal" game where guesses provide you with the closest common taxonomic rank until you narrow it down to the daily animal
• Metaflora - same style of game as the above, but this time with plants
• Anthropeum - given ten artifacts from the Met's collection, guess where each human artifact was made and when, with points awarded based on accuracy in both metrics
• Flashback - history quiz that gives you 8 events to put in chronological order relative to each other **note that this one is a weekly game and not daily!

If anyone knows of more games that fall in the same vein, definitely feel free to share and I'll add them here!
And one final note on all of these: DO NOT BE AFRAID TO LOOK THINGS UP!!! these are for fun and there is just as much to be learned in the process of finding the information as there is in testing your knowledge. Have google maps pulled up when you're doing the geography games, turn on borders or use the other hints and aids available to you in each game, click on the wikipedia articles linked to give you a better idea for your next guess, literally anything goes if it means you pick up on something new! Good luck have fun and happy learning 👍
