Interesting quiz, but your borders for Labrador are way off. As it is, your peninsula is actually mostly Quebec (although missing the southern part and Gaspesia). Of the zone you are currently showing, Labrador is only the eastern third/half. Please correct this! Thanks :).
That's because it deserves it. Both are very prominent peninsulas that are well-known worldwide. The Olympic Peninsula is just a small piece of land that barely even counts as a peninsula as it's just across the Puget Sound.
Kintyre is way too small to show up on a map of this scale. You could possibly include it if you did a Europe version, but even then it'd be pretty hard to see.
When you create a quiz, select the "more options" button. Using the "Upload Map" button, you can upload an SVG vector map onto your quiz. You will need to either download or create your own map to do this though. I use Notepad++ and Inkscape to edit my maps, but I've heard NauturalEarth is another good program. Maps by the Quizmaster can be found here. The Quizmaster has also written a couple blog entries about adding maps to quizzes, so I recommend you check them out. Hope this helps!
Florida's largest extent is represented as such in the quiz. Also, Scandinavia is technically not part of the quiz, but Fennoscandia is, (with Scandinavia as a type in).
South Asia and India are not the same thing. The borders for the Indian Subcontinent do included parts of Pakistan, Balngaldesh, Nepal and other countries. However, "Indian" is accepted as a shorthand for Indian Subcontinent
"Fennoscandia" never works on these quizzes so I usually just try it jokingly hoping there's another geography nerd out there who knows of Fennoscandia and I have to say I was genuinely surprised when it worked! Fun quiz!
Your example is akin to accepting "York" for New York City.
But in this case "cape" and "peninsula" are semantically redundant. It would be like having to type out "Isle of Man" on a quiz where you didn't have to type out "island" for the other 19 answers.
Could York just be accepted for Cape York? And yes, technically Cape York is the very end of the larger peninsula.
Exactly how are "cape" and "peninsula" semantically redundant? Without them you're just left with "York" which is a town in England. (By the way, isn't the word "semantically" itself redundant here? :))
That was said six years ago, so you've probably had enough time to mull that one over. So do tell me - did it make you proud or depressed? And is your now-17-year-old a geography whizz by now?
I don't think that Scandinavia should be an acceptable type-in for Fennoscandia. While it is usually incorrectly referred to as Scandinavia, they are NOT the same thing.
The borders are of the Indian Subcontinent, which is much larger. Not all of these peninsulas follow strict geographic rules, such as the Sinai Peninsula which borders both the Mediterranean and Red Seas.
why must everything be called differently in English and my native language - English has Cape York Peninsula, I call it York Peninsula, English has Baja California, I call it Californian Peninsula, English has Horn of Africa, I call it Somali Peninsula (at least Asia Minor is acceptable)
In my book, the isthmus has to be narrower than the land masses at each end to qualify the whole thing as a peninsula. Calling India and the Horn of Africa peninsulas is ridiculous.
Any chance of accepting 'subcontinent' for 'indian subcontinent'? I admit it feels a bit general but it's the only region I can think of that is commonly referred to as 'the subcontinent'.I'm almost certain most on here would understand it as such. It's definitely the word I tried for it 3 times thinking I'd misspelled.

Ones I missed are Labrador, Arabian, Cape York, Anatolia, Jutland, and Crimea.
Apennine is accepted.
