Guess the radio in Costa Rica

Every signal in this game is a real station broadcasting from somewhere in Costa Rica. You hear it — you don’t see which — and drop a pin on the map where you think the transmitter is. The closer you land, the higher you score. 5 stations, all from Costa Rica, by ear.

How the Costa Rica game works

Press Play Costa Rica and a mystery station begins — drawn at random from 11 real, located Costa Rica broadcasters. Nothing on the map is labelled; your only clues are what you can hear. When you have a hunch about the cityit’s coming from, tap the globe and lock in your guess. A radar line snaps to the true transmitter and you score by the real great-circle distance — pinning the right city is worth the most. Do it 5 times for a grade you can beat, then share a spoiler-free result or take on another country.

Every station streams straight from its own servers — LiveEarthViewer hosts no audio — and if one won’t play, the game quietly retunes you to another station from Costa Rica. All scoring is real distance math on each station’s real coordinates; no made-up numbers.

The game only uses stations that carry real coordinates (so a pin can be scored) and enough listener votes to be a good bet to still be on air. Counts from the radio-browser community directory; snapshot baked 2026-07-06.

What Costa Rica’s dial sounds like

Of the Costa Rica stations in this game, the strongest leans are Pop & Hits (3), Rock & Metal (3), News & Talk (2) and Jazz & Blues (2)— the rest carry no genre we can honestly assign. Genre tags are the community’s own, folded into a few families at bake time; an unlabelled station is the normal, honest state, not a gap. It’s still a useful ear-clue: if a Costa Rica signal is heavy on pop & hits, that fits the pattern.

Stations you might hear

The most-voted Costa Ricabroadcasters in the pool — the kind of signal you’re listening for. Knowing the big names won’t hand you the answer (you’re pinning where a station transmits, not naming it), but it tells you what Costa Rica’s airwaves are made of.
