Continental

The Map Quiz

A timed geography exercise: a country is named, and you find it on the map. The borders it asks you to learn are, almost without exception, lines drawn in Europe in the 1880s, which is itself worth noticing while playing.

What this version is not

Only twenty countries are included, and each is a coarse polygon of roughly fifteen to twenty points — recognisable in shape but not accurate at any real scale. Disputed and non-self-governing territories are not represented at all.

How it is played

Click the named country before the timer runs out. Three lives, twenty questions.
