World Map Without 20 Random Countries

+1

Level 24

Dec 1, 2019

So if countries that are "undetectable" have not been considered...Why do I get Mauritius and Nauru and minuscule islands that you could never see on this map? Even when you zoom in, how do you know to look for countries like that?

+11

Level 64

Dec 1, 2019

Mauritius is detectable if you're looking out for 5 small island countries in Africa ;)

+3

Level 67

Dec 5, 2019

To be fair, it was becáuse of the caveat/description that I missed some of the smaller ones. Didnt look for/at them because I assumed they would be excluded.

The quiz is fine (before I get hatemail just because of sharing my experience, which seems to be the trend lately, so you need to apologize in advance that you didnt mean it like that.. people jump at any chance they get to leave snide remarks it seems..) it just ironically had the opposite effect for me of what was intended, because usually I actually wóuld be sure to not overlook the smaller countries

+3

Level 64

Dec 10, 2019

That's a fair point - I've edited the caveat to give detail about which countries are included.

+1

Level 67

Mar 9, 2020

Cool, didnt expect that. Didnt read the caveat this time, I think I remembered (2nd round) I need to check for lighter spots around Africa. And actually had to count how many "sports" there were in Oceania, because I couldnt tell you of the top of my head beforehand (without listing them in my head).

Finally got em all 6th run... kept getting stuck around 17/18 because of those darn Oceania islands ;) (Oceaniac? ah Oceanian I think :))

+1

Level 43

Dec 14, 2021

Oceania has 11... top row is Palau, FSM, Nauru, Marshall Islands, Kiribati. 2nd row is Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Samoa. 3rd row is Vanuatu, Fiji, Tuvalu.

Level 68

Dec 2, 2019

I've got Malta missing and it's really hard to spot such a small country missing from the map.

Level 64

Dec 10, 2019

The light water is the only thing keeping it detectable :)

Level 22

Jun 8, 2022

Mexico, brazil, usa, and canada were missing for me

Dec 4, 2019

Crimea not part of Ukraine?

May 23, 2022

Yes, shouldn't be labeled as part of Russia imo.

+1

Level 30

May 26, 2022

Level 34

Dec 8, 2019

The island ones are definitely the toughest. Got Kuwait and Nicaragua before I noticed the Uk and Ireland and I'm British!

+1

Level 48

Jul 23, 2020

For me it's Iceland, Chile, Equatorial Guinea and Malaysia.

+1

Level 43

Dec 14, 2021

Iceland, Tunisia, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Philippines are the ones I struggle with.

Level 52

Dec 10, 2019

Malawi is tough as it simply blends with lake Malawi.

+1

Level 64

Dec 10, 2019

Indeed it is!

Level 66

Dec 19, 2019

How was I meant to notice that Fiji was missing?!

Level 64

Dec 19, 2019

The best method would've been to know where Fiji is on the map ;)

Dec 19, 2019

Thanks for playing, really glad you liked it!

Level 75

Dec 23, 2019

Yeah, I know the feeling. I just got it on the 9th try after a string of 17s 18s and 19s...a brilliantly maddening quiz. Thanks Aman and Arun!

Dec 23, 2019

It took us both several tries too, great to hear it Jerry!

Same here. Finally got 20 after about 30 tries getting 18, 19! Very fun quiz!!

Level 50

Jul 24, 2020

Seven times in a row getting 18. Like, how about at least 19?

Level 91

Dec 21, 2019

Best quiz ever for learning world geography, thank you. Maybe add Cyprus, but otherwise fantastic!

+5

Level 64

Dec 23, 2019

Appreciated :)

+4

Level 70

Dec 23, 2019

Really? We're supposed to be able to spot a super tiny island, Seychelles, in this way to small map in the middle of the ocean and is next to anything for reference? Sure, you can one click it larger, but you would never be able to find it in the time allowed

+1

Level 54

Jan 23, 2022

It's pretty easy with the light water. There should be three island countries around Madagascar and if there isn't, one of them is an answer. You shouldn't have to zoom in for that—it's larger than some other countries like Rwanda.

+2

Level 72

Dec 23, 2019

Couldn't agree more about the Seychelles. How would you even know it's missing?

+10

Level 54

Dec 31, 2019

There should be 3 islands in the Madagascar area. If there's not a north one, you're missing Seychelles!

+3

Level 38

Jan 2, 2020

Yep that's how I do it too👍. You soon learn where all the islands are supposed to be!

+1

Level 67

Mar 9, 2020

Yea pretty easy to see if one of the islands is missing if you know how many there are. With the light blue around them they are not that small at all, bigger than switzerland or belgium for instance (and many others in europe). Interesting the ones people decide to complain about.

+1

Level 69

Dec 23, 2019

Ten tries later, finally got it! Sure, I should use this as an opportunity to learn to tell apart the South Pacific nations, but it's much easier to just type all of them every time, and some random Caribbean ones, too. Then I start looking for the countries that are distinguishable.

+1

Level 64

Dec 23, 2019

Yep, that's how I got 20/20 too :D

+1

Level 51

Jan 24, 2020

lol same.

I actually have to turn off the timer to play this since I'm dumb that way. But love this quiz so much - could play for an hour that way.

Learning!

+1

Level 67

Mar 9, 2020

Doesnt it make more sense to do it the other way around? what if there are non in oceania and the caribbean, then you wasted all you time typing all those countries.

+1

Level 39

Dec 24, 2019

Kiribati makes this quiz unfair

:(

+7

Level 32

Apr 10, 2020

That is not true.

+4

Level 48

Jul 23, 2020

Kiribati is huge. If you know what to look for you will find it. Cape Verde and São Tome and Príncipe are more tricky as they are island nations that are all alone.

+1

Level 43

Dec 29, 2019

Tough, missed swaziland

+1

Level 48

Jul 23, 2020

eSwatini, as of 2018.

+1

Level 54

Dec 31, 2019

I am loving this puzzle. It's made me focus on Oceania and exactly where everything else, which I wasn't all that sure of before. I'm used to just running down the list of islands and letting them populate. Practice makes perfect - 1:11 left this time! Hurray!

+1

Level 64

Dec 31, 2019

Awesome job!

+1

Level 88

Jan 24, 2020

I've taken this quiz very many times, really helps you learn geography. A few countries never seem to be missing - Cyprus, Lebanon and Djibouti. Wondering why as other very small countries are regularly missing?

+1

Level 64

Jan 24, 2020

Yes, those countries are undetectable, at least without zooming in specifically. Several other smaller nations have been omitted, such as the Lesser Antilles and Europe microstates. Would you be interested in a version that includes all countries (except micronations)?

+2

Level 88

Jan 30, 2020

I don't need a new version. On my monitor, however, these countries are just as detectable without zooming as say Malta, Israel or Equatorial Guinea.

+1

Level 67

Mar 9, 2020

Yea I think cyprus is just as visible ( if not more) and noticeable if it is missing as haiti. (which is even trickier, because it still has half of its island there).

I wasnt aware that they were excluded, every round I started by checking if malta and cyprus were still there haha. (Then african islands and maldives, then iceland and new zealand, they are easy to overlook when missing. Then I check for other obvious missing countries, then I count oceania, but remain clueless in that region haha)

+1

Level 33

Feb 15, 2020

This is consistently the most difficult quiz, thanks for making it!

Am I the only one who got like half micronations?!

Poor Bhutan, Djibouti, Cyprus, and Montenegro. So visible, yet so neglected.

Mar 31, 2020

I love this quiz so much - the best one I've done on the site I think. I've done it so many times and it's still fairly tricky, and helps me consolidate my knowledge of the countries' names

Level 64

Mar 31, 2020

That's great to hear!

Level 55

Apr 4, 2020

I became strangely obsessed with this quiz, practising it every day, first to solve it and then to improve my time. Today I hit 25 seconds - possible only because the randomiser threw up a string of 4 & 5-letter countries, no 'stans, no islands, and both Congos, which gives you two answers for the price of one! Thanks for the entertainment

Great quiz. My highscore is 19, but next time i'll get 20.

Some countries you can hardly see but i learned to zoom.

The only one i missed was Samoa. Sigh.

Finally got them all! Tried several times... Great Quizz!

Level 38

Apr 23, 2020

Most interesting I got was Ethiopia gone. Now there was this cool lake in the middle of Africa only separated by three thin countries

+1

Level 57

Apr 24, 2020

How do I notice Cape Verde, Nauru and Mauritius?

+2

Level 64

May 22, 2020

I usually look for 5 island micronations in Africa, 2 on the west coast (Sao Tome and Cape Verde) and 3 on the east (Comoros, Mauritius, Seychelles).

Oceania can definitely be tricky, but you can see the small islands in rows of 3-2-3-3. Nauru would be the first country in the 2nd row, or specifically for Nauru you can look for a tiny dot next to the "large area" of Kiribati.

+1

Level 49

Apr 27, 2020

When you realize New Zealand isn't on the map...

Level 26

Apr 29, 2020

The first time i started geography, Someone in our school mentioned JetPunk. I was blank by even hearing that name. He said try it out. I started first with my Countries of the world quiz. But i couldn't even name a single country in Africa... I got interested and tried other quizzes. To be exact this was my first 6th quiz to try out. Thanks to these type of quizzes, everyone can learn something everyday. Thanks, Quizzer6794

Oh god, got all 20 but almost missed Mauritius and Sao Tome and Principe, hard randomized one

Level 51

Jul 3, 2020

I wouldn't recommend a randomized version like this. For most of the time, really noticeable countries are removed. Therefore, the quiz can be REALLY EASY.

Level 64

Aug 23, 2020

Palau, Nauru, Tonga, Samoa ....

+1

Level 69

Jun 3, 2021

Yeah, I have no clue where any of those are (other than Kiribati), so I just count. If there's 11, there are none missing. If less, I type them at random until I get them. You'd think after a while, I'd remember where they are, but nope.

+1

Level 67

Jan 28, 2022

Fiji has two big islands you can actually see. Solomon Islands are the closest to Papua New Guinea. Vanuatu are below them. Tonga is above NZ. Samoa is above Tonga. Pretty easy really, when you practise.

Jan 28, 2022

Also, easier being a kiwi, as I know people from Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Tuvalu, etc.

Man, it gave me Malawi on my first attempt... that was brutal. It's criminal how well the absence of Malawi blends in lol

+1

Level 69

Jun 3, 2021

Yeah, Malawi is tough because its absence basically just makes Lake Malawi look bigger. Rwanda and Burundi are tough too, especially if both are missing, because it just looks like another African Great Lake.

Certainly NOT random. To creator, consider alternative algorithm, maybe one using a true random number generator versus an alphabetical list? As it is, it seems the countries that touch each other are favored to occur together, as are small nations near coasts, I guess to make things challenging.

Got to 20 on about 10th try, though got very close (18-19) on every attempt. A few tips for those who cannot get through this quiz... After a few tries you get the idea of the common suspects that trip people up: island countries, small countries by the coasts (oceans and inland lakes/seas) like Kuwait, Djibuti, Azerbeijan, El salvador, and all those tiny island nations around Africa and Oceania. You can reload until you get all or nearly all Oceania countries.
