BUG ALERT!! ROBBERY!! CRIME!! After game number 923259 I am certain that there is no level 6. I get lotsa cheering, but it always ends at level 5.

This thing lags like mad if you have a high-refresh gaming mouse. I had to set mine back to 125hz to make things playable.

I am decent at geography... way better than my peers. I have not been able to reach Level 3. This game is insane, and how it ended up with a medium badge daily is crazy.

Did I cheat? Yes. Did I learn anything about geography through cheating? Hell yes. Does that excuse my cheating? Probably not.

The accuracy requirements for later levels is extreme, whoever completes the game without referring to google maps for help, I salute you.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.
