Nice selection. I feel a lot of type-ins should be added: saint basil, christ redeemer, warriors/soliders of xian, Shibuya crosswalk (or probably just Shibuya),...
Terracotta army should be accepted, so should "Cinderellas castle" or something instead of just Disneyworld. Also maybe just Gibraltar instead of Gibraltar rock
Fun quiz but it seems like you could do with some type-ins. Most frustrating was 'Shibuya center'. It is either 'Shibuya Scramble' or 'Shibuya crossing'. No one calls it 'Shibuya center'
Nice quiz, but i also would like more possible type-ins. St Peter for St Peter's Basilica?
Liberty or Miss Liberty for Statue of Liberty? (you accept Angkor for Angkor Wat, but insist on the "statue"? It's obviously a statue...)
Also typing "Sydney Opera House" gives you "Sydney Harbor Bridge", which left me confused since I typed the whole name and it did not count. Only after spell checking I realized, that "Sydney" had vanished from the text...
Good thing that you've got both the Parthenon and the Pantheon, since I always mix them up :D
Is there, by chance, anywhere a building named Panthenon? If so, please add it too, I don't know, how often I typed that in various quizzes...
The "Harbor" in Sydney Harbour Bridge is spelled incorrectly: it's a proper noun, so the spelling should follow local usage (Pearl Harbor on one hand and Sydney Harbour on another).
Fun quiz. Perhaps consider adding "Cristo Redentor", "St Mark's Plaza" or "St Mark's Square", and "3 Gorges Dam" as type-ins? I got the first one by typing the English name after my initial guess wasn't accepted, but missed the latter two. I could have used a bit more time as well. Still enjoyed it though, thanks.
So many possible answers which weren't accepted ... the idea is great but in the current way the quiz is no fun at all. If I recognize it, it should be accepted! Even more since I am not an english native speaker. I actually looked a lot of translations up in wikipedia and they STILL weren't accepted!
It's not Big Ben! It's Elizabeth Tower, part of Westminster Palace. Big Ben is just the nickname of the bell that's inside the tower, called Great Bell.
Great compilation, but needs more time to get through them all. Got confused a few times when some answers disappeared due to type ins. I knew many but embarrassingly did not recognise the one from my own country - not the usual picture of it.
Maybe some flexibility around type-ins: I wrote Ermitage Palace, Potala, Arc de Triomphe without spaces, Great Arch and Grand Canyon, and none of them was counted as correct answers.
Another request for a type in :-) Could you accept Brandenburger Tor? I am not German but somehow I only learned it by its German name. Otherwise quite an entertaining quiz, thanks!
Another type-in suggestion -- Urquhart Castle for Loch Ness, since that's what's in the foreground of the picture (or find another picture that shows more loch and less castle).
Could do one which includes additional famous sights such as Old Dubrovnik in Croatia, Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, Schonnbrun Palace in Austria, Samarqand in Uzbekistan, Aït Benhaddou in Morocco, Torres Del Paine in Chile, Banff in Canada, the Hollywood sign in LA, Tikal in Guatemala, and Bran Castle in Romania?
Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul
Shibuya
Terracotta Army
"Arch of Triumph"
Bilbao Gugenheim
Cristo Redentor
^ All of those were not accepted.
such as "Redeemer", "Terracotta Army", "Basilius" (for St. Basil) etc. Great quiz otherwise!
Liberty or Miss Liberty for Statue of Liberty? (you accept Angkor for Angkor Wat, but insist on the "statue"? It's obviously a statue...)
Also typing "Sydney Opera House" gives you "Sydney Harbor Bridge", which left me confused since I typed the whole name and it did not count. Only after spell checking I realized, that "Sydney" had vanished from the text...

More leniency on foreign spellings as well.
One small suggestion: could you accept "Cliffs of Dover" as a type-in please?
But: "St Marks Square"? No? "St Marks Plaza"? No? "St Marks Piazza"? No? Trying all the same but spelling out "saint"? No..?!? That's a little much.
