Find Country on Map Game

How to Play

Find Country on Map is a simple game in which you have to click on a map to locate a country. Read the instructions below the map and when asked to find a country you should click on the map where that country is. If you get the answer correct you will then be asked to find another country. Every time you get a country correct you get 1 point.

You can always pan and zoom the map to make finding an accurate place to click more easy.

When you get one wrong or when you complete the game, you will be able to enter you name into the high score list.

Click on restart game at any time to start again from the beginning.

Difficulty Ranking

This game will record every time someone gets an answer right or wrong. By totaling up these values, it can then be determined which country's are generally harder to find than others. Then, when someone else comes along to play the game they will be presented with easier country's first, and as the game proceeds the countries will get more difficult to find.

Therefore over time this game will have a better difficulty curve that will score players in a fairer way.
