Smile how well do you know your geography?
ran into this the other day and thought others might enjoy. The "world" is fairly easy, but some of the regions are HARD!

Traveler IQ Challenge

Enjoy!

Great fun. I got to level 8 but only scored 21,609 for L8 - but needed 30,000 to continue to L9 .

On my first go, my total score: 285,223, and Traveller IQ 103



It would be a little easier if the map was larger on my screen so I could place the cross-hairs more accurately

I tried it once. Nice quiz but the map is very small. Hard to get the crosshairs right in the short time.

Those obscure islands can be just about anywhere!
Got to level 11 but it was still not enough points to go any further - could be a fix?!
World map: Yes, the map is so small that some of the countries are missing, never mind the cities - did not try the regional maps.

Now go back to work!

Be careful where you click!
I was on level 10 and doing great but I clicked on an image next to the map by mistake and when I went back I had lost my score and was at the start again!

Happy Christmas & Eid everyone.
