Nice quiz - I nominate this for a star.

Thanks Jerry ;)

Definetely, this was beautiful!

Huh, I was wondering where all the islands were in London... I keep forgetting that I live on an island.

Level 90

Aug 7, 2018

Great quiz. A lot of small extra steps needed. I beat my head against the table figuring out what mountain that could be since my first answer didn't take.

Level 87

Aug 7, 2018

Had the devil of a time with one of the answers!

Level 82

Aug 7, 2018

Some clever clues in there, I enjoyed that

Level 39

Aug 7, 2018

Could you include United Kingdom/UK as additional answers for Great Britain? That will make it consistent with the other geography quizzes on this site. Nice quiz! I liked the picture choices. :)

+26

Level 95

Aug 7, 2018

The United Kingdom/UK is not synonymous with Great Britain.The UK includes Northern Ireland and several smaller surrounding islands. Great Britain is just the island that contains England, Scotland, and Wales.

Level 82

Oct 26, 2018

That would not be consistent. No other featured quizzes accept UK for the name of the island of Great Britain.

Level 51

Aug 7, 2018

It is called Papua New Guinea not just New Guinea

+46

Level 70

Aug 7, 2018

The island is New Guinea. New Guinea includes the Indonesian states of Papua and West Papua in addition to mainland Papua New Guinea.

Level 82

Aug 17, 2018

But Papua is also the Indonesian name for the whole island, it should be accepted.

+23

Level 82

Oct 26, 2018

This quiz is in English, not Indonesian.

Level 75

Oct 26, 2018

That one got me too. I couldn't figure out why PNG wasn't accepted. Face palm when I saw the answer. Great quiz, BTW.

Level 63

Feb 6, 2019

Even so. Papua OR New Guinea could be accepted. Just not in combination.

Level 82

Oct 26, 2018

incorrect.

Level 42

Aug 8, 2018

I guessed 17 , but only got 16 - as I wrote Papua-New Guinea, so full name should count.

Level 78

Aug 8, 2018

Then I want "Haiti" to count as well! But no, in all honesty: They should not count, because both islands contain more than one country.

Level 76

Aug 8, 2018

And then we should count "England" for "Great Britain"!

+19

Level 70

Aug 8, 2018

We should count "my house" for Great Britain. I mean, they're fairly synonymous.

Level 66

Aug 15, 2018

TWM03 are you the king of England?

Level 66

Dec 21, 2019

Caesaria, it should be the name of the island, not the country. For example, I think Formosa should be added as alternative name for Taiwan as well. The island has the two names accepted in English (while the country can be named as Taiwan or ROC).

Level 43

Aug 30, 2020

We should count "France" for Afro-Eurasia.

Level 20

Nov 7, 2022

Technically the name of the Island that Haiti and the Dominican Republic is on is Hispaniola. This quiz is for the name of the /island/ not name of the country (s) on it

Level 43

Feb 24, 2019

*sigh* *gets ready to type the same thing I've typed a billion times in this comment section* Papua New Guinea is the name of the country that takes up half of the island, not the island itself. New Guinea is not an abbreviation of Papua New Guinea, they just have similar names, but they're not interchangeable terms. Just like accepting Indonesia for Borneo would be completely ridiculous, so would accepting Papua New Guinea for New Guinea.

Level 67

Feb 28, 2020

It SHOULD count just because it prevented you from having a perfect score? That is not how things work.

Level 73

Aug 16, 2018

where the hell is the last one ? never heard of it before...

Level 89

Aug 16, 2018

Off - way off - Yemen. It's fascinating.

Level 68

Oct 27, 2018

Yes, it is. This is the thing I learned about from taking this quiz.

Level 43

Feb 24, 2019

It's in Yemen- beautiful island!

Level 47

Jan 14, 2021

one of the most alien islands on the earth, after galapagos.

Level 89

Aug 16, 2018

I had no clue there was ever a nice building on Hispaniola. That made it too difficult for me to get.

Level 70

Aug 16, 2018

There are plenty in the DR. And this particular building is caved in and located in Haiti, where it was destroyed in the 2010 earthquake.

Level 84

Oct 26, 2018

Presidential Palace, I believe.

Level 82

Nov 5, 2019

Design reminiscent of French Colonial architecture. Directly adjacent to slums. Looks like Haiti to me, and I didn't even notice the roof was caved in until Jiaozira pointed that out.

Level 36

Jan 12, 2020

Why wouldn't there be nice buildings in Hispaniola? It's one of the first places Europeans settled in the New World.

Level 75

Oct 19, 2018

Is Hawaii an Island? Wasn't aware...

Level 84

Oct 26, 2018

Yes, there's Hawaii, the island, which is part of the Hawaiian islands, and then there's the state of Hawaii.

Level 72

Oct 26, 2018

Damn I wrote all the indonesian islands I know exept Bali...

Level 32

Oct 26, 2018

Same here!

Level 77

Oct 26, 2018

For the picture for New Guinea I was wondering why I was looking at a picture of Ironman

Level 49

Oct 30, 2018

Hmm I guessed Papua new Guinea. I think this should be accepted...?

Not heard of the last island.

Nice idea for quiz.

Level 63

Feb 6, 2019

Nope, see other discussion about this.

Level 43

Feb 24, 2019

Papua New Guinea is an island on the country that takes up about half of the island- the other half being Indonesia. They aren't interchangeable.

Level 43

Feb 24, 2019

Socotra is a beautiful island belonging to Yemen and is located off the Horn of Africa- it is often regarded as the most alien yet beautiful place on Earth. Google pictures of it- it's wild! :)

Level 33

Oct 30, 2018

Thanks for accepting 'Rapa Nui' for Eastern Island, which is actually the original/official name of the island.

Level 45

Nov 5, 2019

Can we maybe accept Thorney Island for the one of Westminster???

Level 70

Nov 5, 2019

Thorney Island hasn't existed for hundreds of years now.

Level 51

Nov 5, 2019

Life would suck if Tasmanian Devils became an invasive species and they were as common as pigeons or squirrels.

Jamaica has a really cool flag.

Alcatraz needs to be reopened as a prison because the idea of having a penal institution on an island within sight of San Francisco is slightly awesome.

Level 53

May 17, 2020

Good quiz, can you make it so it accepts Great British Isles for Great Britain?

Level 45

May 22, 2020

Loved the quiz! I would love it if the "World Islands" or "Palm Jebel Ali" from the United Arab Emirates were included. They are beautiful man-made islands and they aren't hard to recognize.

Level 43

Aug 30, 2020

I kept on typing Oahu not thinking the one island could represent the whole state of Hawaii.

Level 70

Aug 30, 2020

The satellite image is of the island Hawaii and not Oahu. Hawaii is both a state and island.

Level 57

Nov 30, 2020

I'm pretty sure the island is formally Hawai'i. Maybe make that the spelling so people know?

Level 70

Nov 30, 2020

'Hawaii' is just as correct as an Anglicism. The symbol inbetween the i's looks like an apostrophe, but it is actually a seperate symbol which isn't used in English.

Level 28

gg got full in 30 secs :) 

im crying i literally didnt want to guess Hispaniola because i thought it wasn't on there 😭

Level 60

Jul 7, 2021

I am yelling myself for not trying Tasmania and Socotra, after considering to try them

Level 41

Sep 30, 2021

Hmmm, should really accept PNG or Papua New Guinea

Level 70

Sep 30, 2021

I may consider adding 'Papua' as a type in but Papua New Guinea is a country comprising half of the island and not the island itself. (Papua is a local name for the island).

Level 65

Dec 6, 2021

Cliffs of Mother, err I mean Mothar

Level 48

Mar 2, 2023

Would be much better, if we could not guess randomly for all pictures, but only the specific choice, we marked. It is easy to get a couple by mistake while guessing another picture.

Level 42

Mar 12, 2023

Can you please make it to where Long Island counts as Manhattan?

Level 67

Nov 6, 2023

Can't believe I didn't get GB. Was going much more specific trying Isle of Dogs though I know not strictly an island. Threw me off
