Think you are a Geography pro...???

Awesome little quiz. I always took Geography and History as electives in school. I THOUGHT I was good. I tried it a few times and after the 3-4 time it will start to repeat some of the questions. I always get right around 190,000 at the 6th level and an IQ score of 93. Check it out.

I worked at an air freight company back in the 70's. One night we got a package addressed to someone in Djibouti, Territory of the Affars and Issas. Nobody knew where it needed to go.

Got to level 10. 384,852 points IQ 113.

One thing I found hard was the size of the map. On a few places I probably would have been closer if the cursor wasn't so large in comparison to the map.

Level 10, but I think they give you too much leeway. Too small a screen too. Too small for places like Togo and Benin. Also, there are a lot of African and Indian cities, which helped.
(Djibouti is in NE Africa if anyone is curious)

First attempt was 190,867- level 6.
335,217 second try.
366,057 third try.
392,935 fourth and final attempt.
My kids were watching and wanted to play- so of course I told them this is an adult game to make them want to play it more- and they played for at least 15 minutes... all the attention span my 4,5 and 12 year old have.

I made it to level 6 first try. Those African country's messed me up.
Oh, And the map is way too small.

Me too. But I let my kid guess the last one for me. I diddn't know it eithier but my 'guess would heve given me a better chance. African cities are also my weakness in this test. I made it to level 10 the second time around.
