Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Danishgirl]

I found this amazing game where you have to guess the countries of the world. You get the name of a country and then have to click in the right place on the map.

My best score was 75, when I played it with my mum it was 83 or something like that.

Unfortunately I'm rubbish at Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and the area around Viet Nam and Indonesia, and I'm not very good at the countries around Cuba, Panama and all that either...

Anyway, I just thought I'd show it to you and maybe see if you can do better than me

I managed to get 76, try zooming in a bit since

I reckon I'd be quite good at this. I'm good at the game called Geosense, used to play it at school. I can't have a go at the moment though as I am online on my mobile in the pub. I'll come back to it.

I got 4 !!

Obviously my pc is not running right lol

[Timsk]

Jeez that's hard. Absolutely useless at that.

*Nati stamps foot and pouts*.

Pfffff. That's a rubbish quiz. Why do they keep on changing the names of countries nowadays? The map was too small and I got tricky ones.

I shan't be admitting to my score.

PS. It would be more educational if the game actually told you the name of the countries you got wrong.

Oh, yes, you're right about that.

I keep getting countries like Brunei, Burundi, Djiboudji.... and I still don't know where they are...

You can zoom in, by the way, and move the map around.

This just reminded me how much I hate Geography...

[Guest]

I got 74.

European, Asian and North American nations were a cinch but African and Central American nations were tricky. South America wasn't too bad.

I'm not sure why my geographical knowledge of the northern hemisphere should be greater than the southern. It must be some kind of inherent geo-political bias of significance, relevance and importance affecting how I remember where nations are located on the globe.

23, flipping hell that was stressing me out.

[Lucinda]

I got 62. Some of the little countries are quite hard. I love www.geosense.net - I think it's the geography geek in me!

[Rik]

shameful - i got 12

they could have broken you in nicely rather than starting with the State of Eritrea.

[YFOS]

i got twelve, that's harrowing. but i can't even point to where i live on a map.
