Excellent idea for a quiz. Spotlighted. Could you accept Tornio as an alternative to Torne?

Level 65

Nov 27, 2024

Thank you! Tornio is now also accepted

Good quiz idea, nice one. I did notice that some countries which have tributaries, but not the river itself, appear (eg Guyana for Amazon) - but not for the Danube, which has nine countries with tributaries that don't appear when you type Danube.

Level 65

Dec 2, 2024

Yes you are right. I will look at all the answer options again and make sure no countries with tributaries are included

Level 73

Very good quiz! Cool idea, now I know some more rivers in different countries

Why does Douro work for Portugal, but not Spain?

Level 65

Dec 3, 2024

Douro should work for both countries

What is the criteria for including a river? The Saint Lawrence seems like a major river. Without knowing the criteria for inclusion, I don't know which criteria the Saint Lawrence failed to meet.

Level 65

Dec 3, 2024

I choose some of the most famous rivers according to Google. If you have any more suggestions, please let me know. Saint Lawrence is now also accepted.

Level 87

Dec 3, 2024

That makes it a game of guessing which rivers you've chosen. There should be a clear and stated criteria, like "over 1000 km".

Level 75

"Naming a river wilL reveal all the countries it flows tHrough."

Great quiz. Tried Murray river for Australia several times, before I remembered you could count Australia as an Island as well. Same with Thames and Severn :D

Level 80

The river Sixaola is part of the border between Costa Rica and Panama, please add it.

Level 65

Dec 3, 2024

I added it

Level 67

Dec 3, 2024

No yellow river?

Level 65

Dec 3, 2024

No, unfortunately you can only add 10 answer options. I choose to prioritise the rivers that flow trough multiple countries.

Level 74

Dec 3, 2024

Thanks for the quiz!

I suggest:

Graying out countries that won't be included (island countries, countries you've decided don't have rivers).

The primary English name of (what you have as) Moldau is Vltava, I believe.

Make it clear and objective your criteria for including or excluding rivers (size, length, etc.). I know you've addressed a little of this in the comments but it seems a little vague and subjective.

Level 65

Dec 3, 2024

Thanks for the feedback! I would love make some countries gray, but I don't know how that works. I tried to look it up, but can't find anything. Does someone have a few tips?

Level 74

Dec 3, 2024

Hm, maybe something in the SVG Guide would help? I'm not sure, I haven't used them on here.

Greying out countries is pretty simple if you have inkscape. Do you have it?

Level 54

Nice quiz! would be cool though if countries not included in the quiz were greyed out.
