Find Country on Map is a simple game in which you have to click or tap on a map to locate countries. Read the instructions above the map and when asked to find a country you should click on the map where that country is. If you get the answer correct you will then be asked to find another country. Every time you get a country correct you get 1 point.
Note: This mode does not qualify for the scoreboard
You can zoom the map in for a better view. This will let you pin point areas more precisely.
You will be prompted to find a country on the map. Click on the map to indicate where you think that country is located. You can always pan and zoom the map to make finding an accurate place to click easier.
The game ends when you get the location of a country wrong or when you complete the game, you will then be asked to enter your name on to the high score list.
Click on restart game at any time to start again from the beginning.
This game will record every time someone gets an answer right or wrong. By totalling up these values, it can then be determined which countries are generally harder to find than others. Then, when someone else comes along to play the game they will be presented with easier countries, and as the game proceeds the countries will get more difficult to find.
Therefore, over time this game will have a better difficulty curve that will score players in a fairer way.

I clicked Nassau the capital of the Bahamas but was it wrong?
On 23rd January 2025Now working again
By Daft Logic on 28th August 2024Weird. Wanted to try again today but can't get it to start. There is only a Restart Game button that doesn't do anything.
On 28th August 2024Bahamas should now be fixed
By Daft Logic on 9th May 2024The Bahamas doesn't seem to be working. I clicked on the island of Andros, (The biggest island in the Bahamas) and it got counted wrong. If you can, please fix this issue.
On 9th May 2024It would be nice to have a mode so that when you get a country wrong instead of having to restart again it simply counts the number of mistakes you make, that way you can try to find all of the countries and then get better on the ones you didn't get. Otherwise you can't even try to guess some of the countries before having to restart or randomize the order countless times
By Ribuzz on 6th February 2024It was really easy . I wonder how pepole got only to 16 . i got to 31 this week.
By Alessio on 31st October 2023Turkey would not let me click on it
On 15th May 2023buggy, very inaccurate game. countries are clicked on but are computed as wrong or dont go through and instead click somewhere else
By tyrone on 2nd December 2022Hardest thing for me is guessing countries I don't know the names of like:
Kiribati
Solomon Islands
etc.
Turkey broken
On 22nd June 2022i literally clicked on turkey and it counts it wrong
On 19th June 2022Very good game. Have a nice day.
By Jackson on 9th January 2022Awesome game. Nice and smooth implementation. How about a skip function in non-scoreboard mode, so you can skip really small/unkown areas like South Georgia/Montserrat/Kiribati?
On 7th October 2021Update : Somaliland will no longer appear as a question
By Daft Logic on 3rd September 2021Somaliland seems to be bugged
On 1st September 2021Democratic Republic of the Congo should now be working
By Daft Logic on 13th August 2021The issue with Kashmir has been addressed
By Daft Logic on 13th August 2021Kashmir doesn't work, it's only recognised as India according to "click for country"
By UlrikHD on 11th August 2021The issue with Kiribati seems to be that I use Kiritimati Island as a pin for Kiribati, using the more western islands seems to work fine identifying Kiribati.
