5030 is my max out fo 5 tries, was even 766km off edmonton . Russia is the worst since if you have to guess you can be 5-6k off easily.

That is fun. Kind of embarassing though cuz I put French Guyana on the wrong side of the Atlantic. And yeah those Russian ones are tough.

My best was an average error of 200km. Didn't think to remember the score though.

6184 is my best score so far. Average kms off 244, average speed 2.3. The Brazilian ones actually screw me up the most. And it seems like it asks for Moroccan cities an inordinate amount of times.

edit: 6545! 200 kms off with an average time of 2.2 seconds.

I like that game. The American map is fun too, but not the advanced world map. Bloody near impossible.

Time seems to be really important. For a really good score, you need to get each in the first 2 to 5 seconds. Don't bother trying to line up the cursor exactly where the city is, just get in the general area and click.

6672 is my new high score.

That's a really fun game. Geography has always been a huge interest of mine. 8667 is my best so far. Thanks for the link.

That's impressive, given that the all-time high score on the site is 8300.

He could have been playing the American map. I've gone over 10000 on there.

I actually found it easier to get score in advance map because they have 20 questions instead of 10.

also in basic map, for some reason my score would reset itself to 0 after some questions...doesn't happen in advance map.

11043 is my advance map score.

edit: i found scramble in advance map not very challenging. too slow as you can almost guess where it's gonna be by the flag...impossible to get below 10000 as score...

Thanks a lot Delthefunky!!!! now i got lots time to kill!

Wow, apparently I'm not very good at geography!

Gotta love when you only have a vibe of where the country is, let alone the city, and somehow are bang on.

Hmm, that was on the advanced game with 20 questions so not really that impressive
