I literally thought it might be guyana before starting the quiz and it was!

Bolivia borders both Argentina and Brazil

Level 53

Thanks for the feedback. I specified the clue so it only fits Uruguay.

You spelled Colombia wrong :( Columbia is a university or a province in Canada (amongst other things). But the country that borders Panama is definitely called Colombia. Great quizz otherwise.

Fixed. Thanks for catching that

Good stuff! Nom-ed.

I wish I had read the instructions. I was guessing countries of the whole world...

Level 64

quiz is pretty good, just needs a little cleaning up. You use periods on some hints but not others, you could specify the only "dutch speaking country" in the Americas, you unecassarily capitalize some words (Largest Island Country -+ largest island country)

you could also say "Country where the galapagos islands are located" to stick with the same grammar as the first two

idk maybe im just being really nitpicky lol

its a great quiz though, nominated

I'm sorry, but I don't find this to be a good quiz. The clues do not build upon each other, so there is no reason why I should not be able to see one clue until I've answered the previous one. Also, some of the clues are really obscure. I'm supposed to know that Cuba is the 8th largest island country, and not the 7th or the 9th? Come on!

Level 74

So you didn't guess Cuba because you thought it might be the 7th or 9th largest instead? You know you can just guess things without penalty, right? Just guess the biggest island country you can think of, man. What a silly gripe.

Level 56

Not that you can't guess Cuba, but I personally have a problem with the clue because it's rather uncreative. Furthermore, as previously states, there's no building upon other clues.

Level 78

May 3, 2022

Conceptually ok, but I'm not wild about having questions where a whole bunch of countries are crammed in at once. (Looking at you, "remaining countries located in the Lesser Antilles.")

It just feels... clunky and uninspired. Would be much better if there were 35 questions, and each one only eliminated a single country.

Level 74

I think the thematic issue is that you have some questions about specific countries to eliminate them, and others are grouped. I like the quiz, but I think it might be even better to either do the continents separately and eliminate countries one at a time, or maybe try to eliminate a couple countries every time. So instead of having separate questions about Canada, Mexico, and the USA, you could eliminate all three with "Countries who once belonged to NAFTA". Just my two cents (probably worth less than that, though!).

Solid advice there.

Just to expand on that... it was much more satisfying knocking out several countries at a time.

Level 49

It makes no sense for the question about paraguay to say "the OTHER landlocked country" when bolivia wasn't even mentioned before.

I enjoyed this quiz, thank you.
