What's the closest you got to an actual location? I got within 3km of the Vatican!

Nice game.

4 kms from the Statue of Liberty here.

Bleh. 5 km from Venice is the best I could do.

Nice find, Dominic. This is the kind of game that I will obsess over until I memorize every location to within 200km or so. I'm not sure yet if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Strangely enough, me too. I failed at level 10 as well. I realize how bad I am at differentiating sub-saharan African countries.

Reached level 9 on my first try. Fun game, but I suck at all the different countries/cities in the pacific.

I've been fooling around with this game/tutorials

Yeah, i know it's for kids, but I noticed that my knowledge of African countries was close to zero. Kind of embarrassing to meet people and you haven't even heard of the country they're from...

Got to level 11 on first try.

This shepherd software link has been on here before and it greatly improved my world geography it gets pretty addicting. I just get weird looks during jeopardy when i know thimpu is the capital of Bhutan.

I got to level 11. Most of the time, I didn't know the specific city, and I just clicked somewhere in the country. Twice, I got burned when I transposed Austria and Austrilia trying to click fast. Also, I once interpreted DRC as democtic republic of Korea.

[censored] Level 11 got me. How was I supposed to know that Christmas Island, Australia is off the coast of Indonesia, or Björgelflørgen or whatever the hell it is, Norway is basically in Greenland?

It would be awesome if they added historical events and you had to choose the date on a timeline and the place.
