I love this so much!

Is it possible to cycle through the drawings after time runs out to see the shape of the country with its name? This would help in learning the ones that look kind of non-descript.

Amazing quiz. Loved the concept and execution.

I've played about 30 times, and didn't come across Canada, Indonesia, Philippines, etc. Are these countries excluded because of the large number of islands?

+2
Level 84
Jul 6, 2021
Yep, countries with too many islands are a bit of a pain to make - joining them all together into one line and then individually masking out all the joins - plus some other issues with getting them to draw in a good order.

I did make Canada with a fair few of its islands but the coast is so long and complicated that the draw time was excessive and it took up a lot of file space. I tried simplifying it but it didn't look that good. I might try again at some point.

The artistry of this quiz, as many have already said, is unsurpassed. But here's another plead for more time. I am a geography enthusiast and haven't been able to get anywhere close to finishing. I'd like to see what I could do with at least four minutes.

It's really great, how a small change (to be honest, to make the quiz was not at all a small effort, but a big one) of an existing quiz (shapes of countries) can make such a fantastic new experience!

No. No no no no no. I’m without words right now. We already thought was impossible do something better, or like the Spinning Globe by Crem, but now, he, Overtired, full us of the opposite: animation. I can’t stop playing this quiz, and I’m... what to say with it? How many praises we can say? Marvelous, insane, amazing, gorgeous, funny, beautiful, divine, brilliant, wonderful... DAMN! I’M WITHOUT PRAISES! I really want to learn how you did it. All of us want to learn, this, before you get overtired lol! You make us happy with your presence and amazing quizzes. A shame, that I can’t nominate it anymore. We don’t know anymore who is the SVG Emperor. Is IAB? Is Jiao? Is Pandora? Is Dug? Is many I’m forgetting at this moment? I know that Overtired can’t be a candidate of SVG Emperor. Why? Because these aren’t SVGS. Are games, culture, and lifestyle. A new subscriber for you! I need to stop now, because I won’t have more praises, and characters for write. Just be knowing: this is amazing.

Despite the fact that I got a humiliating 1/6 on my second attempt, I think this is a brilliant quiz. I will be back often.

More time

MORE TIME!

MORE TIME!!!

MORE TIME PLEASE!!!!!!

Just because it is OCCASIONALLY possible to get them all in the allotted time, the vast majority of efforts do NOT allow enough time, even when you interrupt the drawings.

Put simply, there just isn't enough time for at least 9/10 of the random selections, which is a bit depressing - no matter how good you are, you are probably not getting 100%, not because you don't know the answers but because there isn't enough time!!!!

Even the 16% who got them all would almost certainly fail on their next few attempts.

The extremely short time available in effect makes success at this quiz subject more to randomness and luck than geographical knowledge.
