New Map Quiz Type and Problems for Mobile Users

Submitted by GeoPhilia on June 13, 2025
Based on my conversation with many mobile users regarding the new map quiz mode, a common point that has came up is it can be hard to tap precisely. The issue becomes more apparent with objects that have smaller hitbox.

This issue was magnified in a recent quiz I made, in which the player had to tap the location of a given landmark. A lot of users ended up scoring very badly, despite knowing the location, because the taps weren't precise, and as far as mobile users can go there is not any more precision that can be achieved.

Even personally, when I tried the same quiz on mobile, and knowing exactly where the dots are, I could only get 4 correct out of 20.

A solution that has been suggested by MasterRocket is to have an increase tolerance for mobile users. If you tap within a specific area of the answer while playing on mobile, it would be registered as correct. This helps to keep the target area 'normal' for desktop, where precision is possible, and also helps mobile users.

Another idea would be too add a zoom mode that would allow you to do it without accidentally making a wrong guess. Like a toggle and maybe a tool but manual zooming could work with it as well.
