How well do you know your world? It gives you a place name and you have to click where you think it is. Time and accuracy count ....

By the way I'm hopeless at geography, always have been and scored 367,000, level 10 of the 12 available.

Nice one, Simon, I've played that in a bar in Benidorm before! Mind you the map on my screen here is so tiny, it's a bit hit and miss, especially the smaller countries!!!!

Simon

What did you score then?

Julie

Appalling I couldn't even find Japan or China ! And Denmark wasn't quite where I imagined either

Simon

Oh dear, back to school with you Julie

bettyboop

6233

Simon

Well perhaps its not that bad, didn't you get past the first level?

da mama

numberplease

236,276, only got to level 8

numberplease

It`s the Scandinavian and Arabic countries where I`m having the most problems.

Acorncup

this is fun!!

178879

it is a tiny map though.....

not that that would make it any easier for me

Acorncup

hey HC is educational.....

I did this a couple of times, and got 341365

I'm not very good on South America, far east or Africa........

time to consult the atlas methinks

well I might have a look for other games on the site

hilda

brilliant, the clostst i got to anywharee was galway, i was only 81 miles off,,,,,,,,,, so tiny its hard to get dead center,,,,not that i ever was

numberplease

257,702, level 8 again!

numberplease

257,807

Acorncup

ooh well done number..... my high score was a fluke...I've had some more goes and got 170000 ish

now if only I didnt get korea and cambodia muddled up....and remembered the ones I had before

numberplease

I keep forgetting where Malaysia is, and got Pakistan and Bangladesh the wrong way round.

Silverpixie (Admin)

All I can say is please don't choose me for your world tour guide.

Simon

It was the West African countries that got me .... I can never remember which is which ....

Acorncup

And I get some of those islands in the wrong ocean

and the little results box sends me a sarcastic message

Simon

Well there were one or two places I've been that I got in the wrong place ..... that's really bad

Acorncup

But I bet you went in a plane...and all airports look the same

Simon

It's funny you should say that .... one time I was flying to London Heathrow from Rouen ..... and I got there real early, so rather than wait four hours I decided to take an earlier plane. It was one of those little twin engine, seats 7 and the pilot loads your baggage for you himself ones .....

So we flew over .... landed ........ I wandered all the way through the airport .... out to the bus for the car park and thought "oh that bus is different to the normal one ....".

Only then did I realize I was at Gatwick ..........

Acorncup

Did you have far to go?

At least you were in the right country

numberplease

I`m getting a bit better, but still can`t get past level 8. Thought one place was in the Caribbean, it was Africa!

hilda

i got the phillepenes sooooooooo wrong, its was the other side of the map, yet i was only 2 kms away from edinburgh yet the scottish bit is sooooooo tiny
(ps just deleted loads of commas)

Acorncup

wow I've never been as close as 2km to anywhere

I think the Europe part is a bit of a different view from what we're used to....it's stretched at a funny angle

well that's my excuse!!

I really should get my altas out and pause the game in-between questions, and work out where the countries are........

madsue

I can't even get to 50,000, and I thought I was good at geography!!!!!! I just hate the counters counting down, cos they panic me!!!!!

Simon

numberplease

268,344, still can`t get past level 8, I`m getting frustrated!

Acorncup

well I did get a bit further once, number, but it was all places I'd never heard of

I have actually got my atlas out and studied South America, and worked out where Korea and Thailand etc. are....but there's just too many countries in Africa!!!

..

and it was easier when we had the USSR instead of all these different countries

numberplease

I thought I was fairly good at geography, but I was wrong!

Simon

Acorncup

I'm only speaking abut the map game

numberplease

360,739!! Finally got past level 8, reached level 10. Now I`ve got a new goal to reach for.

First tine I`ve been on here for a couple of weeks.

Acorncup

Oh well done number

I haven't done this for a while....I think I've probably forgotten everywhere....I heard something about Bolivia in the news the other day.....and I don't think I could remember which part of south America it is in now

I must do it again after Christmas......

Simon

I didn't visit it for a couple of weeks .... but maybe over xmas, I'd love to get to level 10 too .....!

numberplease

373,961, but still can`t get past level 10.

numberplease

374,604, marginally better, but still level 10.

Acorncup

Are you still at it, number?

I'll have definitely forgotten where everywhere is, by the time I try again

numberplease

I`m always at it Acorn, in more ways than one! I have a go each day, same as Gold Miner, just to keep me hand in.

maureenl

numberplease

OK innit Maureen?

maureenl
