  • Hello everyone,

    These past few days brought three new features. Here are the details — enjoy!

    What's new

    1. Pockets & Bag — raise your geocoin limit

    Right from your user profile ("My account" section), you can now expand your pockets to hold more geocoins (a boost for the day): for 100 Gold, +10 geocoins per hour until midnight (Paris).

    You can also upgrade your bag (daily geocoin limit) by buying permanent slots: up to 5 extra slots.

    2. Off-season market

    Geocoins from past seasons can now be bought directly on the market for gold and forge points.

    3. And I'll mute that

    Rebalancing

    • Removed the free slot in the deposit

    • Replacing a geocoin in the deposit now costs money (50 G)

    • "The Sponsor" becomes evolving (tiers of 1/2/3/5 qualified referrals).

    • Poupy the bot now picks up the geocoins you don't want after 2 minutes and 30 seconds. It can also buy and sell geocoins, depending on demand.

    • New limits:

      • the maximum number of geocoins per hour drops from 15 to 12;

      • the maximum number of geocoins per day drops from 40 to 30;

    • Wrong "common" rarity on some achievements.

    • Quiz: automatic reload of the "latest contested geocoins" on reconnection and when returning to the tab.

01/07/2026 — Big July update: glory, hold deposit, multiple winners

  • Hello everyone,

    It's a real pleasure to see that there are more and more of us on geocoins.io. Some adjustments became necessary so that everyone can play with as little frustration as possible, whatever their level. Let's take a look at what's new together.

    What's new

    1. Multiple winners per geocoin (PvP) 

    When lots of players are online, the same geocoin can be won by several people (the number goes up with the crowd). After the first winner, a countdown gives the others time to grab the remaining copies.

    2. Improved hold deposit

    Unlock permanent deposit slots (for gold) and rent a temporary one. When everything is full, you choose which geocoin to replace — or you get 1 forge point instead.

    3. "For glory" achievement

    How it works

    Once you've reached your hourly or daily geocoin limit, you can no longer win new ones. From now on, if you still answer correctly, your right answer counts "for glory": you don't win the geocoin (it stays up for grabs for others), but you still get your forge points, and the "For glory" achievement progresses. A little ⓘ in the game is there to remind you how it works.

    Grace window

    After a "for glory" win, the other players have a few seconds to try to grab the geocoin still in play. A countdown is shown to everyone in the quiz and on the home bar. Geocoins played "for glory" now appear in the history, even if no one won them. Click a geocoin to see the winner (if there is one) and the list of players who played for glory or stored the geocoin in their deposit.

    Depositing a valuable geocoin during glory time

    If an epic, legendary or shiny geocoin appears while you've reached your hourly or daily limits, you'll have the option to place it in the hold deposit (claimable from the next day).

    If you don't own the geocoin, placing it in the hold deposit is offered directly. If you already own the geocoin, two buttons appear: "Answer (deposit)" to place a copy in the hold deposit, or "Answer (glory)" to earn a forge point instead. In both cases, the geocoin can still be won by players under their limit — so it may be won in several copies.

    Rebalancing

    • Removed the "Serial Killer" achievement

    • The "On fire" achievement no longer requires a single long, unique streak but several streaks of any size (3 geocoins in a row or more).

    • The thresholds to reach the legendary rank of each achievement have been lowered.

    • Lowered limits:

      • the maximum number of geocoins per hour drops from 20 to 15;

      • the maximum number of geocoins per day drops from 60 to 40;

      • the maximum number of forge points earnable as compensation drops from 200 to 100.

    Fixes

    • No more "connection issue" when answering a quiz once your limit is reached. - bug found by Nounourspirit

    • Fixed several wrong answers to questions - bug found by nounourspirit, Aklem and Arnokovic

    • New discreet anti-cheat protections against bots - "some tried, they had problems".

    Once again, a huge thank you for your support 💚. See you on Discord for what's next.
