kick it off 1,948 Posted March 28, 2020 As we're almost all stuck inside and probably running thin on things to watch, thought it might be fun to have a bit of a challenge. You simply have to name all 196 officially recognised countries of the world. I'm a geography teacher and only managed to get them all a couple of times - I normally range between 160 and 170 to give you a point of reference for what's a half decent score. Game is simple to play - type the names of as many countries as you can think of into the box above the map. You don't need to press enter - it automatically recognises correct answers and lights them up on the map. If this proves popular then I will dig out a new challenge every couple of days. https://www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/how-many-countries-can-you-name (note: There is an alphabetised list by continent underneath the map which fills as you fill in the countries - sometimes helpful to look there to get a hint of which ones you're missing). 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted March 28, 2020 These are always good fun. I might have a go later or tomorrow- I've already done several football related ones today! Premier League players with over 100 goals was probably my favourite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,283 Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) 127 for me, couldn’t spell some countries! 15 minutes is tough call. Good fun though, it got me thinking of countries I’ve been to and reeled off 52, might be more but have to nudge my mind!

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted March 31, 2020 155, and I'm disappointed. I started struggling with about three minutes left and missed 10/15 obvious ones in Africa and Asia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,017 Posted March 31, 2020 123, struggled with the typing/spelling and the memory, i did not fare well on Africa or the Pacific. Great quiz thanks, going to have another go later, just to see how my memory is holding up and whether or not I have honed my spelling/typing skills!!........
