Apr 18, 2024

After 65 attempts (I counted on the stats page), I have gotten really good at this and no longer miss many. My most recent close call was Somalia, which took me a solid minute to find. You just find a way of combing over the map that works for you.

Level 57

Israel is a tough one, I always zoom in and check right at the beginning because its gotten me so many times

Level 54

For Israel, I just type it in fast without even looking. Much quicker than zeroing in then back out again.

Jesus, my fastest time is 1:01 and I’ve taken the quiz 65 times. My fingers don’t go that fast, even if I could find them all in 20 seconds.

Level 93

Aug 15, 2024

You need to take the quiz like over a thousand times (IMO) to start getting times in the low 20's or high teens. I have taken the quiz over 25,000 times (it won't show my stats anymore, I assume because there are too many results) and regularly get 23's and 22's. My record is 0:18 which I've gotten a few times, but I haven't tied it in a while.

Level 28

This quiz should be called “You’re going to think that you’re blind in 4 minutes”

I second this.

Feb 28, 2024

Love this quiz. The random factor makes it fun to replay over and over and race against one's own personal best time.

My only complaint is the choice of nations that are included vs not included in the set of countries that can be missing. I understand the choice to exclude micro-nations like Vatican City or those of the Lesser Antilles... but why include Malta or Nauru and not Cyprus, Lebanon or Singapore? Why not include East Timor or Qatar? Some of these are visible lands at this scale.

I would like to see East Timor, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Qatar included, if not all micro-nations highlighted like Seychelles, Nauru or Maldives.

Level 54

Mar 5, 2024

The reason those you pointed out are highlighted is because they are surrounded by the light blue water, so you can see if they’re gone easier.

Level 23

Mar 2, 2024

How are we to know if the islands are missing or not? Sometimes the shaded light blue emptiness suggest it is missing. I type in its name and presto nothing happens, other times it is valid...

Level 57

May 1, 2024

The light blue means the islands are there, if it is missing then the islands nation is missing

Level 28

Level 57

May 15, 2024

Most of those people just find them all before starting the quiz and type them as fast as possible. Other way which is how I've got it is just a lucky run where it's all super obvious countries like USA, Brazil, Russia, etc

Lucky to not get Equatorial Guinea. I ALWAYS misspell it.

Level 61

Aug 22, 2024

How come only 171 countries are able to disappear? I get why you wouldnt include the vatican or monaco? But why are Kosovo, Luxembourg of Bhutan not included? They are about the same size as El Salvador on the map.

Level 44

Sep 8, 2024

I've done this quiz hundreds of times, but it would be far more fun if those Oceania island nations that aren't even visible on the map were removed. The Caribbean island nations never show up, so not sure why those are.

Sep 20, 2024

because the islands in Oceania are visible

How to get a faster time:

USA for United States

UK for United Kingdom

UAE for United Arab Emirates

CAR for Central African Republic

DR for Dominican Republic

DRC for Dem. Rep. Congo (except for when you have both Congos, in which case just type "Congo" for both).

NZ for New Zealand

KSA for Saudi Arabia

FSM for Micronesia

Don't use spaces when typing country names that don't have abbreviations.

Answers don't have to be capitalized.

Why is SWISS Not also an anser for Switzerland???

Because nobody calls the country, "Swiss". Swiss is an adjective: Swiss people, Swiss francs, but the country is Switzerland
