Like this quiz. I will nitpick, however, and point out that the dot for Kano is in the location of Abuja, Nigeria's capital. Kano is in the north central part of the country near the border with Niger.

Is it easy to make quizzes like this with a map? Is there a template on JetPunk, or do we have to get them from elsewhere?

Unfortunately, it's not possible with a user-created quiz. It takes a lot of custom code and time with a graphics program to make these.

There is the JetPunk Dot Placer, where you can use one of the standard JetPunk maps to input coordinates onto, and then press Draw Dots and download the SVG. Try it here!

I thought Timbuktu was called Ouagadougou these days, or is it just the capital changed?

No, Ouagadougou is in Burkina Faso, the smaller landlocked country to the south. You may be confusing it with the French spelling of Tombouctou.

100% I thought I knew absolutely nothing about Africa.

100%, got by knowing the countries and capitals (entirely due to Jetpunk) and "inspired" guessing for all the others and leaving Timbuktu until last, having briefly known but forgotten that it is in Mali. Knowing that Lagos used to be the capital led me to pick that as the coastal city, and the new capital as the one inland. And I knew Mombasa was associated with the safari countries of East Africa, so after Dar Es Salaam and Nairobi were filled in I knew what would be left.

I was doing ok until I forgot where Sudan was and incorrectly guessed Khartoum three times in a row. Also most of those west African cities were pretty tough. I know for the most part what country each city is in, but I'm really not that good at pointing things out on a map.

Why Timbuktu and not Bamako, the capital city of Mali?

Timbuktu only have 59.000 inhabitants, while Bamako has 2.71 million.

Hello. Nice quiz. Yet There is a problem. When I indicated Dar es Salam in the right place, it gave me wrong. No possibility to succeed the whole test.
