Pixelated Americas Map

The Americas have been pixelated! Only pixels with at least 50% land have survived! Each pixel can only be guessed by the country which has the most area inside it!
There are no answer boxes on purpose! The pixel grid is your only resource to name all the countries

Good quiz overall - Two complaints - 1) no Cuba, Haiti or anything else in the Caribbean. 2) The randomness of having to figure out which country got to represent Central America - not the largest (that's Nicaragua) or most populated (Guatemala) but rather Honduras, which barely has coastline on the Pacific.

It's all happens to be where the pixels ended up. All of the caribbean islands vanished as they were too small to fit inside a pixel.

Honduras just got lucky with pixel placement.

Yeah, I had jm's problem too. This is a great series but it doesn't work so well with this Americas one. How about, to give those countries in the middle a chance, also doing a Central America version with a higher resolution? The Cubas and Belizes might emerge as answers!

That's a pretty good idea actually. I might explore that option soon.

I think this "problem" means it actually works great, so that it's harder to guess. Otherwise you just go by the largest countries first.

Grenada - we need to see Grenada. If it's big enough to invade, it's big enough for a JetPunk quiz!

Or what about zooming out more so that there were more pixels to assign. Would that help?

If you zoom out though then the continents won't all have the same size pixel. This quiz was already at a limit for height as well. I think I'll proceed with a Central America quiz as suggested.

I think it is perfect the way it is. Your complaints are a bit silly, you complain about the things that makes this quiz unique...

Same comment to the people asking to zoom out.. really?? just do the normal quiz then.

I was pleased to finally see a pixelated quiz that wasnt just type all the countries in this continent. I absolutely saw no point in some of the pixel quizes. And after the first few I just stopped doing them. I only did this one cause I found the new button new and updated quizes :)

I like this one :) the pixel in the middle took me 3 guesses.

Having countries not appear or have weird placements is what makes pixel quizzes worthy of being quizzes. You have to know what could fit and what couldn't.

If that upsets you, then just stick to regular map quizzes.
