Find Country on Map Game
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.

Hint
You can zoom the map in for a better view. This will let you pin point areas more precisely.
How to Play
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.
Difficulty Ranking
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.

Now working againBy Daft Logic on 28th August 2024
Weird. 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 2024
Bahamas should now be fixedBy Daft Logic on 9th May 2024
The 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 2024
It 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 timesBy Ribuzz on 6th February 2024
It was really easy . I wonder how pepole got only to 16 . i got to 31 this week.By Alessio on 31st October 2023
Turkey would not let me click on itOn 15th May 2023
buggy, very inaccurate game. countries are clicked on but are computed as wrong or dont go through and instead click somewhere elseBy tyrone on 2nd December 2022
Hardest thing for me is guessing countries I don't know the names of like:
Kiribati
Solomon Islands
etc.By Bundesliga on 28th July 2022
Turkey brokenOn 22nd June 2022
i literally clicked on turkey and it counts it wrongOn 19th June 2022
Very good game. Have a nice day.By Jackson on 9th January 2022
Awesome 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 2021
Update : Somaliland will no longer appear as a questionBy Daft Logic on 3rd September 2021
Somaliland seems to be buggedOn 1st September 2021
Democratic Republic of the Congo should now be workingBy Daft Logic on 13th August 2021
The issue with Kashmir has been addressedBy Daft Logic on 13th August 2021
Kashmir doesn't work, it's only recognised as India according to "click for country"By UlrikHD on 11th August 2021
The 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.By UlrikHD on 10th August 2021
or scratch that. Didn't see that you had replied and fixed South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.By UlrikHD on 10th August 2021
