I wonder who made what in this quiz. That's interesting to try to guess.

To make the quiz more "serious", I would merge the part of the instructions and the first caveat into one single caveat, reserving the instructions part... for the instructions.

Also, since you have some empty space on the map, adding a key on the SVG itself could be a good idea, but that's just a detail.

More important: you should add the "border" class to your path, to don't have any scale issues when zooming on the map, with strokes, like it's currently the case.

Otherwise, good map.

Thank you very much for the comment and for trying my quiz! I am currently not home for reasons so I can't fix it currently but I will fix the SVG when I get back.

Merci et bonne journée!

Good quiz. Can you change the type-in to just require "Meuse" instead of "Meuse River"?

Nice quizz. I was wondering how you made your choice for the "cultural cities". I would have guess Liege, Mons, Bruges, Utrecht or The Hague be there.

A lot of quizzes have the Hague, Liege and Utrecht and I wanted my quiz to be a bit different. For most of them I used a random city generator.

Thank you for trying my quiz :)

I always enjoy these, and this is one of my favourite parts of the world - thank you. I must confess to being a bit baffled as to what is particularly cultural about Ettelbruck!

Nothing is particularly interesting but then the quiz would be Netherlands and Belgium centric. I guess they were liberated by Patton on Chrietmas.

Thank you for trying our quiz :)

Dutch guy here. Didn't notice the answer was sought for some bits of the map, but got 18 of the total in the end. The least guessed one I had was Alkmaar. Mildly dissapointed at my own knowledge....at least of the Dutch bit. Of the Belgin and Luxembourgish part I know little bits, but less than average. Once I saw the answers I had a lot of 'ah, of course!' facepalming moments.

The entire quiz is a work in progress for now, I need to add more answers and hints.

Thanks for trying the quiz!
