I would very much enjoy a game mode in which you only need to point out the locale of countries, not of specific cities within these countries. I want to learn in a fun way where Burma and Mauritia are, and it bugs me that I must memorize the location of cities within big countries.

Levels 1 through 9: Big cities in Europe and Asia that basically everyone knows, some central america, and a little bit of Africa. // Level 10: A bunch of small towns in USA no one's ever heard of and Russia. >_< I can't seem to get lucky enough with level 10...

Ok so i've been playing this game since it came out, and when I got my first strike i was like OMG this will never happen to me again.
Now i had a game with 5 strikes and the hard badge.
LIKE A BOSS

I thought that I was one of those few Americans that wasn't horrible at geography... after an hour, I still haven't been able to get the Hard badge, though. I thought I'd never get a strike but then it gave me Swaziland with the country borders on and ZING, got it! Great game!

Why so many cities in Africa, South America, and the Middle East? Are they there to spite me because I know so little about those parts of the world?

Dear Developer, I would love to have a Europe-only version of this game. It's awesome, but I keep failing at cities located in Africa.

At Level 7 I seem to constantly hit my talent barrier. It's amazing how the removal of some lines can make my head go completely blank! 5/5 game though.

I thought you were supposed to advance whenever you filled the bar up to green. Filled level 6's bar up to green (scoring 6859 so far) but didn't advance? Oh well, I like educational quiz games so even if I'm missing something there, it's just fun to play for that aspect.

Pro Tip, use google maps or earth, I forgot lol, When you go to another tab the game pauses, allowing you to look up the place! For best results use the vioce activation thingy. Thats how I got my hard badge.

Very cool and educationally valuable game!
Two additional features would be nice:
1) A zoom function and
2) A weight function which takes into account the area of a country. Finding the right position in e.g. Switzerland or Luxembourg is relatively easy but finding the right position in e.g. Russia or China is a "a little bit" more challenging and should be scored accordingly.

Sure wish there was a full screen option, the map is too small for any accuracy even when you know a city location. I got just one strike by shear luck.

I got to level 7 on my first try, but even after four more attempts I can't beat level 8. The country lines really help me, when they get taken away idk where anything is. I wish the map was bigger, some of those countries are tiny and it's hard to be precise.

Had to print a blank world map in order to get the hard badge after 20000000 tries, filling the map with every single location mentioned in the game!! :D

This is fairly good for an educational/trivia type game, but there need to be options - like a true mute. A keyboard shortcut for both music and SFX would be nice, as would being able to mute the game before starting levels.

Now you see, if they made us play this back in school for Geography for just 1 period I would've come out with more Geographical knowledge than I did from all those other classes combined

I think I figured out the issue with countries and cities that don't strike me as famous because the names are so obscure: you aren't using the English names for cities and countries all the time. Like, if I'm looking for ATHENS I can place it on a map, but if you call it Athina no one is gonna look for Athens... It's an unfair tactic to use the wrong name for cities just to trip the player up. :/ Cute game, but that kinda defeats the educational purpose.

Sorry to all the people who earn the Hard badge who aren't American; guess you'll have to be 'Classy Canadian,' or 'Mesmerizing Mexican,' or 'French and Fashionable.'

I'm gonna be honest, I thought this was a game about the "Harlem globetrotters" and where there touring next and your supposed to pick for them and whatever sells come out is the big winner E.E I was very wrong.
