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.

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 22

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

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

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 52

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.

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

Randomly removing 20 countries is fine, and enjoyable, except when it's something like Palau or Grenada, as they are barely visible on the map when they ARE there. Not great.

It's really annoying, isn't it, when you guess all the unknown and practically invisible countries but forget about big countries. Well, I got Palau, Nauru, Tonga, Malta, Cape Verde and The Bahamas all in one, but I got 19/20. Why? I missed Uzbekistan
