Passport Power-Off: The Daily Passport Strength Game

Which passport gets you into more places?

Passport Power-Off puts two passports head to head. You can see how many destinations the first one opens without a visa. The second one's number is hidden, and you call it: higher or lower? The number counts up, flashes green or red, and the next passport slides in.

There are 206 passports in the game, scored against 247 destinations, with the same data as AwardHack's passport ranking and Visa Checker. There's a new daily set at midnight, the same one for everyone, and an Endless mode for when you want more. It's free and there's nothing to sign up for.

How to play

  1. Read the open card. It shows a passport's flag, its name and how many destinations its holders can enter without arranging a visa in advance.

  2. Make the call. Does the hidden passport open more destinations or fewer? Tap Higher or Lower. On a keyboard, press ← or H for higher and → or L for lower.

  3. Watch it count. The hidden number counts up and the card turns green if you were right or red if you weren't. The hidden passport then becomes the open one, and a new one slides in.

There are never ties. Two passports next to each other always differ by at least 8 destinations, so every call has a right answer.

What the number counts

Each passport scores one point for every destination its holders can enter without arranging a visa in advance. That counts:

  • Visa-free entry, where you just show your passport at immigration
  • Freedom of movement, such as EU citizens in other EU countries, and the same within MERCOSUR in South America, the Gulf states (GCC) and the Eastern Caribbean (OECS)
  • Electronic travel authorizations (ETAs), an online approval that isn't a visa, such as the US ESTA or the UK ETA
  • Visa on arrival, including places that offer a choice of a visa on arrival or an e-visa

It doesn't count e-visas you must get before you fly, visas from an embassy or visa center, special permits, simplified visas, places where entry on that passport isn't confirmed, or the passport's own country. Territories such as Hong Kong, Greenland and many Caribbean islands count separately, so totals run higher than country counts.

The data was compiled in October 2025, with corrections checked through October 2026. Six passports with no confirmed entry rules anywhere (such as Abkhazia's and Somaliland's), the British National (Overseas) passport and the Israeli travel document aren't in the game.

Scoring

Daily: 11 passports, so 10 calls. A wrong call doesn't end the game: you play all 10 and score out of 10. A score of 6 or more counts as a win and keeps your daily streak going. When you finish, you get a recap of all 11 passports and their numbers, and a Share button that copies your result as a row of green and red squares, without giving away any answers. The daily works through all 206 passports in a fixed shuffled order, 11 a day, so a passport comes back roughly every 19 days.

Endless: random passports, one after another, until your first wrong call. Your score is how many you got right in a row, and your best run is saved. Runs of 10 or more count as wins in your Endless stats.

Your stats are kept in your browser, separately for Daily and Endless. Close the tab halfway through a daily and it picks up where you left off.

Strategy tips

  • The top is crowded. Singapore leads with 207 destinations, then Spain (201) and Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden and the United Kingdom (200 each). Every EU passport scores between 188 and 201, and the game never puts two passports less than 8 apart next to each other, so a European pair is always a close call.
  • Know the middle. The typical (median) passport opens 111 destinations, and 78 of the 206 open 150 or more. If the open card is far above the middle, the next one is more likely to be lower.
  • Don't trust wealth alone. The United Arab Emirates (191) matches the United States (191), while Saudi Arabia scores 99 and Qatar 117. Caribbean and Latin American passports often punch above their weight: Barbados scores 175 and Mexico 169.
  • The bottom is steep. Syria (30), Afghanistan (32) and Yemen (36) open the fewest destinations, and 33 passports open fewer than 60.

FAQ

How does Passport Power-Off work?

You see two passports. The first one's number of destinations is shown and the second one's is hidden. Call whether the hidden number is higher or lower, then the next passport slides in. The daily game has 10 calls and Endless keeps going until your first wrong call.

What does the number on each passport mean?

How many of 247 destinations its holders can enter without arranging a visa in advance: visa-free, with freedom of movement, with an electronic travel authorization (ETA) or with a visa on arrival. E-visas and embassy visas don't count.

Which passport is the strongest in the game?

Singapore, with 207 destinations, then Spain with 201 and Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden and the United Kingdom with 200 each. The United States has 191.

Does a wrong call end the daily game?

No. You play all 10 calls and score out of 10. A score of 6 or more counts as a win and keeps your streak going. Only Endless mode stops at your first wrong call.

Can two passports have the same number?

Not next to each other. Neighboring passports always differ by at least 8 destinations, so every call has a right answer.

Is it free?

Yes. It's free to play with no account, as often as you like.
