To start, name any country. The redder it appears, the closer you are. When you guess the mystery country, the quiz is over - you win!
Drag the flag onto the correct country. Careful, though! One wrong move and the game ends.
Drag the pin onto the correct country. Careful, though! Three wrong moves and the game ends.
From the list of words, choose the ones that are also a European city, town, village, municipality, etc...

Diddy might come after you... I would advise against it

I didn't think Malta was a microstate. I typed it just in case. But Google says you're right so I understand now.

Good quiz. If there are more questions, maybe you could display 2 more? I don't know how many you made, but 4 is a little underwhelming at one time.

I was hesitant to include it at first, but apparently it's only a couple hundred square kilometres. It's about an eighth the size of Luxembourg.

Upped it to 6 groups at a time. It's only 15 groups, but 6/15 at a time isn't too, too, bad.

Nice selection of groups. I think it would be more interesting if groups excluded more than one member, but I suppose overlap would be harder to avoid.

(Also, Maghreb is misspelled in one of the groups.)

Whoops! Also, some groups do exclude more than one member. :)

I was sure Mauritania had some Claims for Western Sahara as well, but apparently they gave them up a long time ago.

Interesting quiz! I'll definitely be taking it again to try some of the other categories. I'm confused about a whammy though. I guessed Morocco for the OPEC question and got a whammy, but as best as I can tell that country doesn't run afoul of the exclusions for any of the categories I had (original OPEC members, boroughs of NYC, languages of the Americas, Gulf of Mexico states, European microstates, and countries bordering South Africa). Am I missing something?

Edit: When I refreshed the quiz I saw there was a Maghreb question that excludes Morocco, so I guess the whammies for all categories are in play even if they don't appear on the quiz.

Yeah. I don’t believe there is a way to prevent the whammies from overlapping, but the quiz is pretty easy anyway. I’ll add Kazakhstan. Thanks for the feedback!

Also should note, on my second play I got the Caspian Sea question and erroneously guessed Kazakhstan. It didn't work as an answer but didn't give me a whammy, either.

If South America isn't an acceptable answer, shouldn't I get hit with a whammy when I type that in?

I have to be very careful with my whammy answers so they don’t accidentally overlap.
