Thank you!

The surprise wasn't anything incredible either; they are just quizzes from the same series but no longer about single countries, instead about regions.

For now, the Nordic countries and the Benelux quizzes are available, and more are coming.

By the way, I just noticed you put rivers rather than mountain ranges in the legend, even though there are two mountain ranges on the map, but no rivers.

Thinking about it, if you want to, you can collab me to make a Greek translation of it, as it is an incredible quiz!

Hey! Good quiz!

One suggestion: please accept Aphrodite instead/alongside of Venus for the Venus de Milo. I spent a good amount of time typing variations of "Aphrodite of Milos" and I mean...Venus is not even a Greek goddess, but a Roman one :P

Venus de Milo is the common name of the famous work is why we use Venus here instead of Aphrodite, but otherwise you are correct :)
