Neat. I got to level 6. I'm sure others here will blow me out of the water, though. Geography is not my strong suit. |

I got to level 6. Most of my troubles were oddly enough in the middle east... I kept hitting the mouse too far west!
Plus, it's very hard to hit the right country in Europe! Tiny!

I don't think it's a very accurate test. I took it a few times, and scored between my lowest of 2, and my highest of 6. I didn't have any repeats, but I'm sure if I took it more I would eventually. |

I went from a 3 to a 6- got better with practice, but I would panic! On places that I know where they are, I couldn't focus fast enough on the map so I messed up. Then there were a couple where I was just in the wrong hemisphere.  |

I impressed myself... completed level 8! Politics of East Central Europe actually helped me with something in real life!

Haha so true... my professor always stressed geography though... he said that if we were approached by Jay Leno on a street corner and offered a thousand bucks to point out Estonia on a map of Europe, he didn't want us to look stupid on television and say "What's an estonia?"
My Polish heritage is showing... I was within 10 km of Warsaw!!! The Italian stuff not so much.
Level 10, but Africa keeps tripping me up!

I've tried to play but every time I start, my boss walks by. 
Will do it this weekend on my own time. |

Your Final Score: 602,340
Your Final Level: 12
Your Traveler IQ: 136
Hey, we all get to be good at something.
And there are apparently levels (how many?) beyond 12. edited to add: Tried a second time, made it to 11. I do fine with Africa but mess up with the smaller Indian cities and teeny islands in the Pacific.

Level 8 for me.
I'm thinking I might have to try this with the screen resolution set down a bit. It's an awfully small world on my monitor.

Two more tries and I made it to level 10. Boy do I have a headache. And eye strain.

| I wind up completely in the wrong ocean with those teeny islands. That's when the "You know this is Earth, right?" comment starts to come up after every click I make!

I bow down to Erik.
If I could figure out where he lives on this map, I'd bow in his direction.
