27,420 my 1st try
27,906 my 3rd try

It's a bit easier if you've lived in Europe and heard some of those capitals. I still had a few guesses though. "Yeah, it's one of those ex-Soviet countries...."

After three tries got 29 745, not too shabby! I always wished I could get paid for knowing where places are and what there is to do there.... wait, I was a travel agent once.... too bad that didn't pay too well, lol!

Great Geography game is on facebook, it's an app called "Traveler IQ Challenge", warning very addictive!

Nice, France. I wonder what their motto is. Never knew there was a place called Nice.

Apparently not that well. I'm getting smoked in the Baltic region as well as Eastern Europe.

Riga? Bah!

I googled a couple of places I'd never heard of before from this game. Tallinn, Estonia looks absolutely beautiful. Who'd have guessed?

Check this

22,289 first try.

I was on pace for about 25,000 or so but in round three I put one up near Latvia when it was in Turkey, only 25ts, ugh...

EDIT: 25,433 the 2nd time. Nailed Prague right on the money in round 3, thats about the best thing I'll do all week...

Yeah, the Baltic countries are apparently pretty stunning. We were actually going to go to Tallinn on a Scandanavian tour but decided to stick around Sweden instead for some reason....
