this is one of those games which should never have daily badges, as it is impossible for people with bad memorization to remember where the cities are, the first level is ALSO hard enough, Let alone get to level 5.

For those looking to nail the achievement (Unfairly):
The timer pauses when you leave the page, so enter google maps as soon as you read the location, then memorise the pinpoint (Using lakes and recognisable shapes in the sides of the countries as arrows to assist in accuracy) it will be very hard for you to fail a level.
Plus you actually do retain some geographical knowledge of the locations as many of them are repeated throughout the game.

18 km difference? Seriously? I am sorry I can't click on a different part of the pixel. (At the equator, 1 pixel = 63 km. This was a bit less, but not THAT much less)

How can I not get praised (applauded) when clicking on the capital of my country (which is, like, one point on this map 'cause it's s tiny) but I do get praise right after for a town I never heard of in a country I never heard of either ?

I'm terrible at geography. I clicked on the country (or at least, where I expected the country to be) and hoped for the best. Fortunately, my tablet gives me good aim. Unfortunately, getting the right continent doesn't help when I'm on the exact wrong side of it.

my geography is so bad i couldnt even find anywhere on the right continent... so i utilized my dads brain for the badge.... im so ashamed

The medium badge isn't that hard to get, if you have a general understanding of where countries are. You just gotta get lucky on which cities you get. ;3

I shouldn't have to start over at level one every time I lose. Medium badge needs to be labeled hard or impossible instead.

My geography is horrible but I needed the badge, so I used google. Wish I had taken them down to be more helpful but there were a few spelling mistakes and at least one location mistake. Most spelling mistakes were minot like having 1 t instead of two. (ie mont instead of montt). Definitely a neat game and learned a few things along the way.

To HugoDudo, I had that issue and then I realize that the Adobe plugin was not running. You have to click on the puzzle piece in your address bar to allow it to run and then you'll be golden.

I agree in needing a practice mode for certain regions. Africa, China and Russia are just too vast to remember all on the fly!

Thought this might help some people. Open 2 windows each covering half the screen. When the level starts type in the location, search and zoom out. You gotta be quick in the later levels though:

It's technically cheating, but come on, you follow walkthroughs for puzzle games don't you?

Gonna have to start learning those African countries... I'm really glad there are games like this. A practice mode where you could concentrate on one continent, region or hemisphere at a time might be useful too.

Hmm, might be easier to get strikes if I zoom the page so the game fills the screen. Haven't gotten one yet, but I've been below 50km on a bunch of cities that I knew well.

Thanks to hundreds of hours of Europa Universalis IV and Hearts of Iron IV, I now know where a good number of these cities are, but my knowledge of Africa is quite lacking, and it throws some really obscure islands at you, so it took a bit to get the hard badge. I remember playing this game when it came out and back then I was mostly guessing.

JUST MAKE THE GAME EASIER TO PLAY, OR THERE WILL BE A FLOOD OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS, CAUSING THE GAME TO BE SHUT DOWN FOREVER!!!!

@Giluc, I know I can zoom in the browser. The issue is that even in maximum size, where I can see whole map+timer+name of city I need to click, some countries are too small to click/locate accurately even if I know where it is. In-built option to zoom-in would be nice.

Badge of the day on medium badge, on an "educational" game ... *sighs* and *sighs again*. I know once the aliens overlords throw their EMP destroying internet I won't be able to reach anywhere on my own because I don't know the least bit about geography, don't need to rub it in...
