Clean the Countries Guides
From your first grab to a timed continent split — one hub, no duplicate walkthroughs.
Clean the Countries looks like a joke thumbnail until you spawn inside it. A Roblox avatar stands in a supermarket-bright hall, waist-deep in country-shaped flag pieces. France is sitting on Brazil. A panda charm is stuck to China. The official description from Karpath Games is blunt: pick up, place, drop, switch tools, unlock equipment, fire a special, and hold-click to clean. This hub is the map of every tutorial on the wiki so you do not bounce between five “how to play” posts that all say the same three binds.
Who each guide is for
- Never opened the place — Getting Started is the first-session checklist: spawn, drop, one shelf, one clean pass.
- Binds feel wrong — Controls tables PC, controller, and mobile, including the camera freeze after you equip a tool.
- You know the binds but stall — How to Play is the full loop: silhouette matching, continent shelves, when to clean versus when to carry.
- You want a better time — How to Clean Faster is the speed route: pile sweep, leftover specks, upgrade order.
- FILL timers scare you — FILL quotas explains stacked FILL 25 / 12 / 2.
- Shop and Pets — Pets and Cash then gamepasses for optional Robux.
Read them in that order. Skipping to speed tips before you can drop with F is how people clip country pieces into walls and rage-quit.
What the game actually is
Genre on Roblox is Adventure / Scavenger Hunt, not a tycoon. You are not painting a world map pixel by pixel. You are restoring a geography set. Promotional shots show the win state: white library shelves packed with country-coloured volumes, a globe on a cart, the messy pile gone. The mess is the content. Karpath launched the experience on 24 August 2026; it is free, live, and already running online co-op on servers of up to 20 players.
That co-op matters for guides. A solo clear teaches you silhouettes. A four-player clear needs callouts so two people do not fight over the United States piece. The players hub and leaderboard pages cover roles. Guides here stay on the verbs: grab, match, park, clean.
How we write these pages
We start from the official Roblox description (the only bind sheet Karpath has published), then from the in-game screenshots: country silhouettes with real flags, indoor shelves, hold-to-clean. We do not copy walkthroughs from Clean the Library or Clean the Store even though the pickup/place grammar is related. Shelf labels, tool names, and code boxes are not assumed. If a name is not on the official page, we describe the action instead of inventing a proper noun.
When a YouTube creator posts a real session of this place, we will embed one video in the middle of the matching guide — never two, never a clip from a different tidy game. Until those videos exist, the text is the walkthrough.
Pair guides with the rest of the wiki
Tutorials get you moving. Progression pages keep you from wasting unlocks:
- Tools tier list — what to buy after you press T
- Countries tier list — which silhouettes eat time
- Codes — still no public string; redeem path is documented anyway
- Launch notes — ship date, player cap, bind sheet
- Controls finder — filter binds by device
If you only open one page besides this hub, open Getting Started. It links onward on purpose.
Common search intents we already cover
Players type “how to play Clean the Countries”, “how to clean faster”, “how to complete all countries”, and “Clean the Countries controls”. Those four queries map to the four child pages under this hub. “How to get codes” lives under codes, not here. “How to beat the clock” is the leaderboard guide. If a new mechanic ships (events, prestige, extra maps), it will get its own guide instead of stuffing this index until it is unreadable.
Use the dropdown in the header to jump between these pages. They interlink on purpose so a French or mobile player who landed on controls still finds the speed route without going back to Google.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Which guide should a brand-new player open first?
Getting Started, then Controls. Save How to Clean Faster for your second session.
Is there a full country-by-country walkthrough?
Silhouettes are the puzzle, not hidden rooms. Use How to Play for the method and the countries tier list for pieces that hide under larger neighbours.
Do the guides assume PC?
No. Each how-to links the controls table. Mobile and controller binds are first-class because Karpath published both.
Will you add video walkthroughs?
Yes, one real YouTube embed per page, mid-article, only for this place. We will not embed a different Clean-the-X game to fill the slot.
