The World has 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!
After creating each continent individually, we finally come to the Pixelated World Map! During the course of creating it, in collaboration with the community, we translated this quiz into 8 other languages! In the first reply are all the links to the translated versions of this quiz, then in the second reply there are links to every user who helped bring this project together!
Same here. Don't you just love it when the clock runs down during a big quiz like this, you frantically type last possible answers, then the game stops, and you think, damn, my time is up - only to realize that you found the last answer with 3 seconds left!
Only missed gabon and benin :D Which I always do... even on a normal africa map. Usualy burkina faso and sierra leone slip my mind aswell, but not this time.
Time constraints always makes me act differently. Instead of just typing all and typing them in order I go quite random all over the map haha, when it takes longer than a split second to name a country in the area I was working on i instantly go somewhere else. So it's like, cambodia, laos...morocco, algeria, egypt... saudia arabia etc.
The time set for this is exactly right in my opinion. No mad dash, but didnt have time to rack my brain over which two I had missed. Which I still might not have thought of with 2 whole more minutes haha. (unless the was an alphabetical list, which indeed I agree should be left out on this quiz)
A suggestions for a variation: you have to name single-pixel countries only (ie all countries that have just 1 pixel, all other pixels should be green already - or some other colour - when you start the quiz)
That was exactly what I was just thinking! (On a tablet this time so missed a few and I thought the few red dots left on my map wouldnt be very easy to guess for people, several options for a few of them. Like in the stan area and middle america)
That's intended. Each pixel is its own answer, rather than each answer! You can easily hide the stats to get to the comments quicker by clicking the blue "hide" text.

I suppose that is the point of a pixelated map; if you're looking for accuracy, more traditional maps are the way to go
