Personally, it was St. Lucia and Kiribati that I struggled with a lot, although Malta was pretty bad too.

Its a great quiz but I find its just guesswork when you get a Caribbean or Pacific island. The click zoom does not magnify them enough for my eyes.

I start off with Cyprus and I can't tell that it's actually Africa or Europe I'm starting in. Monaco, Costa Rica, Marshall Islands, Kosovo, Macedonia, Rwanda, Moldavia and Burundi made Guinea look gigantic when I scrolled all around in the sea of white on the phone looking for the next country.

Of the 20 countries, I got both Vatican and San Marino, and five Pacific island nations. Seriously? If you have to do that much guesswork, the time is never gonna be enough.

Well, for me it's not guesswork anymore. I have memorized the exact locations and sizes of the Pacific island nations. Really, it's only a matter of knowing that Kiribati owns more territory than Tonga.

SO FUN!!!

I did it 9 times in a row and got them all every time. The caribbean islands are tough, but this is a great way to learn where they all are.

On one try, my first 5 were Sao Tome, Maldives, Monaco, Equatorial Guinea and Antigua. Not much in terms of reference points! Awesome quiz.

This is definitely a good quiz, but I really don't understand why all of the empty map quizzes on this site use lime green on a white background. It's pretty unpleasant to look at.

The first one I had was the UK, but on the mobile version it only shows a small part of the map and the only green I could find was something small at the bottom that looked like the Falklands. So I spent a good minute wondering if I misunderstood the quiz until I realized if I scroll far enough up Great Britain is also in green.

Got it around 5th time. First one I couldn't guess the Caribbean country probably missed one. You really need to get lucky with first countries on the continent or just plain luck in guessing. Once you can navigate it's easier.
