Find Country on Map Game

Last Updated 18th January 2012

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.

Should be working better now...

Doesn't work well. I know were Brazil is, yet it says its wrong. And absolutely I'm not marking another country.

This game is amazing I got 28 on my third shot but there is a problem with the 28th one.
By Allen liang on 26/12/2011
there is a problem with paraguay location...
By dan on 21/11/2011
Great game :) Got 29 and going to boost it!
By Con on 17/11/2011
Country borders (but no names) should be added. Many times I know where two countries are relative to one another, but don't know exactly where the borders are (this makes small land-locked countries especially difficult e.g. Luxemborg, Liechtenstein.)
On 19/10/2011
the game really doesn't know where Brazil is... that's a shame

Darren, BOlivia is "on the other side" ;)
By sebm on 03/08/2011
Nice, I finished the game. Pretty tough because you dont see the frontiers and some countries are very small or inland.
By sebm on 03/08/2011
Bolivia got me. :( Cool though. :)
By Darren on 14/07/2011
game does not work... or the US mysterically disappeared from the face of the earth
On 19/06/2011
does the game not work no more? i just clicked about 20 times on the usa and the program said wrong each time - and i know where the usa are ;-)
By snoopy on 06/06/2011
I got 13, didn't know where sudan was :S Awesome game, though! Maybe for some future improvements: Have countries nearer to the ip of the user at the beginning, so it's like a custom difficulty curve. Obviously, people from Europe are going to have an easier time pinpointing switzerland than people from south America, and vice-versa. Show the location of the country the user gets wrong at the end, so they can inprove their geo skills!

i scored 45 i cant find paraguay
By jad on 01/05/2011

By mad melon on 15/03/2011
Got in top 40 on first go, yay! Defeated by black hole in south american geography! lucky there weren't too many sub-sahara african ones as that is an even deeper black hole my my geopgraphical knowledge!
By Stinley on 09/03/2011

Who ever said that this game is cheap and boring,you're cheap and boring!
On 17/02/2011
This game is really fun and I only got 8 points!:)
By brayan on 03/02/2011
good one to increase your geography
On 24/01/2011
I love the idea of building the learning curve democratically. But you might consider building a set of curves according to the users location/ip. Also, scoring should be suspended when the user sets the map style to Map! Cool game. Cheers!
By M. McCutcheon on 15/12/2010
you can just change the settings to map and then get all correct
By Hugh Jass on 12/12/2010
i used to be first on 49 but its gone now :@
By NTB John on 29/11/2010
It is a very nice game. I am also working on similar application using Silverlight for Windows 7 phone.Please can you tell me how to get country name using longitude/latitude?
By Junaid on 22/11/2010
This game is fun, could be more fun by asking randomly and by fixing some bugs (like missing Russia????) Oh, btw, if you choose Map or Terrain from the map layout selector every country is outlined and even labeled :D
By John on 19/11/2010
According to this game I got like 10 times Russia wrong! It really has to be fixed
By S A L A M I O U Cyprus on 08/11/2010
