Fun map quiz!

sachmo71 · 12-10-2007, 10:38 AM

A flash map quiz game that's quite addicting. Please to enjoy.

http://www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq

I only made it to lvl 6...188668 pts.

Passacaglia · 12-10-2007, 10:51 AM

Pretty neat. I got through the first two levels, but I have to do level 3 again.

Passacaglia · 12-10-2007, 10:57 AM

I think I read it wrong -- it moved me to level 4 after all.

cartman · 12-10-2007, 10:58 AM

Level 10, 380582 pts. Only got 40000 of the required 50000 on World Capitals, Very Hard

Passacaglia · 12-10-2007, 11:00 AM

Just finished level 6, with 207,050 points.

Radii · 12-10-2007, 11:04 AM

I've done this before, this time was my best score ever though, 40k points in level 10. I usually make it to level 7 or 8 and fall apart. I know nothing about Africa and eventually I get a place I am not even sure which continent its on. Edit, total score: 349893

MikeVic · 12-10-2007, 11:06 AM

Level 5... 146,910

Passacaglia · 12-10-2007, 11:09 AM

Yeah, the Africa stuff is hard. I got 47,000 or so on level 10, and it made me stop.

Klinglerware · 12-10-2007, 11:14 AM

Made it to level 11. Pretty freakin hard on the final levels.

I do notice that they do Australia (and larger countries) a lot in the later levels. At that point, it's no longer enough to actually put it in the right country, you have to have an idea where it is in that country...

Mustang · 12-10-2007, 11:18 AM

Keeps asking me about places in Italy. (At least 1/2 the questions)

MikeVic · 12-10-2007, 11:26 AM

level 6, 158,906... bah.

johnnyshaka · 12-10-2007, 11:35 AM

Level 6...yeah, Africa is tough.

Tasan · 12-10-2007, 11:42 AM

Messed up the scoring last time I posted...just made 361264 on level 10. Those African and South American small countries give me fits.

CraigSca · 12-10-2007, 11:50 AM

level 10, 360740

FrogMan · 12-10-2007, 11:51 AM

just cannot get past level 6...

Level 11, 472,816 points. Got 43,452 of the required 55K on level 11

Level 6: 172, 598

Lorena · 12-10-2007, 12:19 PM

they have these on facebook and are highly addicting.

Cringer · 12-10-2007, 12:33 PM

Africa and SE Asia kill me on level 10

Cringer · 12-10-2007, 12:34 PM

Dola- what really kills me is these little island nations off the coast of Africa that I have never even heard of and take a wild guess.

gstelmack · 12-10-2007, 12:36 PM

365K on level 10 of 12.

Warhammer · 12-10-2007, 12:58 PM

486,940 lvl 11 of 12

sachmo71 · 12-10-2007, 01:18 PM

Those of you making it to 11 on the first try amaze me. I thought I knew somehting about geography, but level 6 cleaned my clock. I can't imagine 11.

Warhammer · 12-10-2007, 01:23 PM

526,975 on lvl 12

theclassic · 12-10-2007, 01:54 PM

385,751 on lvl 10. I'm going to try it again a bit later. I was okay on Africa. I guess I just don't care that much about Eastern Europe.

theclassic · 12-10-2007, 02:14 PM

I think the hardest quiz is the flag one. I couldn't get past level 7 until my third try. I ended up finishing the quiz with 346,354. The Oceania quiz was harder then the Africa part. Some of the islands they asked about were so small, they didn't show up on the screen.

cuervo72 · 12-10-2007, 02:32 PM

Crapped out on level 9

TazFTW · 12-10-2007, 03:44 PM

Beat the Amazing Race one but that's because they visit the same countries.

I have done well on all of them, including finishing the US one. The flags I can't get past round 4 though. I am horrible at flags I guess.

korme · 12-10-2007, 07:24 PM

I can't get past level 2.

Cringer · 12-10-2007, 07:36 PM

that's because you are more concerned with wifebeaters, it's understandable.

On the US only I got 1km on something. On the world I think my closest was 13, but I could be confusing it with another map/game.

I do think some of their locations are off just a touch.

JeeberD · 12-10-2007, 08:49 PM

Dola-

Man, I could play these games all night. I just made it to level 8 of 8 on the US Quiz with 112,370 points. I also got the city of my birth, Fort Worth, within four miles...

Rizon · 12-10-2007, 08:51 PM

I got to level 6 before I got bored.

Wolfpack · 12-10-2007, 09:09 PM

Level 11 and just got busted by a host of obscure Australian possessions that I had no idea where they were. Finished up with 516,782 and 49,621, short of the 55,000 needed to get to level 12.

Barkeep49 · 12-11-2007, 03:05 PM

I'm pretty proud of how I did on my first try:
301k level 10.

And Africa, like it seems to do with others, just kills me. The big thing that helps me is that when I taught last year I made the kids memorize the states and capitals. Kids could then become "Geography Masters" by learning the location of countries on other continents (it went North/South America, Europe, Middle East, Asia). By the time they completed Asia it seemed like they'd had enough so I didn't make them learn Africa, which means I never learned it by grading their attempts

Closest I've got is 9km from Honolulu but that was either in the North America/USA map. Closest on the World map is 20km from Milan.

That is what I hate, using a laptop I have occasionally tapped in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, which is not real close to Moscow last time I checked.
