Kenya now. It's probably just to do with the random selections and time running out. Needs more takes.

It runs from 74% to 71% there is hardly any difference (south africa is 73% atm btw). The quiz is randomised. So whichever are left when you run out of time are the ones you didn't get and that changes with each take. So everybody gets a different last couple of ones, because the order is different.

Should remove S for Eswatini.

Swaziland just isn't the correct name anymore. This is like accepting Z for DR Congo.

Very difficult on mobile. Having to go back up and scroll makes it so impossible!

I agree, I got a lower score than I expected because I spent so long trying to find the blue highlighted country. Need to improve the layout on mobile devices, or state that the quiz isn’t suitable

It is suitable though. I’m on mobile and while it was tricky, it works pretty well

Finally managed to complete this! The map is too big for a mobile screen, it eats into the time trying to scroll across. And you can't zoom out either
