Geography skills peak in 8th grade, so I'm not surprised. You're as smart as you're ever going to get, right now. Enjoy it while you can.

Oh, shut up

 

[JDR]

I've gotten to level 11 though....

 

[nikopolidis]

6th stage is my best result for now. Not so good I think. Great game! Enjoy it much! I guess it would help me to know geography better! I think this game is good for geography exam! They should implement it in schools and get income from selling it!
Those who has passed all 12 rounds we could definitely name him geographic genius! They must be proud of that!

 

[Applespider]

I need to brush up on my African countries...

Likewise... whichever round they start throwing them in, I'm out. I have been in round 11 so can't be doing too badly...

Some of the other 'local' games are fun too - links above the main game - although the local places of interest can be tough. I know quite a few of the sports stadiums in the US but some of the others left me puzzled!

 

[Queso]

It seriously helps if you know all the ex-Soviet countries from each other too

What's the closest you've got to something? On my attempt yesterday I got within 4km of The Hermitage, St. Petersburg. Not bad considering the test looks tiny on an Alu iMac screen

 

[Applespider]

9km of Moscow although more through luck than judgement on the iMac screen.

I've sent it onto the group of people at work who play the 'how many countries have I visited' game to see how well they do.

 

[arkitect]

If that map was a bit bigger I would have been a bit more accurate…

 

[juanm]

My personal best... You can't beat a wacom.

I have a concern, though. The map should be bigger, and at least show some islands in the pacific! I've been to Hiva Oa, and was still off by 1500+ km.

 

[0007776]

Here's mine

 

[bobscliff]

That was fun! It seems like the average is about 112-113

 

[gauchogolfer]

Looks like we've got some pretty geo-savvy people on the boards...or at least those who are willing to share their scores.

My latest:

 

[pknz]

Level 5...

yeah I don't now the geography of US.

Agreed. When asked for Easter Island i couldnt decide weather or not to include the distortion of the earth when flattened into a rectangular map.

I cant remember which location i got closest to but it was around 29km off

 

[mgargan1]

Just thought everyone should know, I passed this around work... everyone's addicted to it.

 

[yellow]

Man, schooled. 186,125 pts on my first try. I wish the map was larger. It's so hard to see.

 

[Queso]

Just had another go



Also got within 2km of Windhoek, Namibia, but wasn't quick enough on the Grab keys to catch it

Well, I was.

But it's annoying that you're always one step before me!

Oh, and, by the way, I also got screwed with the Norwegian island in the middle of the Antarctic!

 

[WildCowboy]

Just had another go

Guess we're playing a little game of one-upsmanship.



The closest hit I've had is 5 km from Oslo.

 

[juanm]

Okay, I can go to sleep now...

 

[gauchogolfer]

Finally got to the 12th level after a number of tries (though no missed sleep )
