This quiz is now out of date, as Jetpunk has updated their map of the world. This new map has some significant changes, and new islands have been added (including the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Faroe Islands, etc.)
I will update this quiz in future, but it may take a while to adapt, and some islands may have been cut too. If I feel like it, I may also make individual quizzes for different continents.
I feel that the title suggests the later, so if I think of a better way to phrase the title then I chill change it.
Thanks to whomever spotlighted this!
What are the requirements for making this list?
Seems like there are some larger islands then some of the one's that are included. October Revolution for one.
- Admiralty, North Stradbroke, and Terschelling are misspelled.
- "Ghadex" is either Gozo or Ghawdex. Both should probably count.
- Sherbro's location is incorrect.
- Char Fasson is a borough, the island is Bhola
- North Salawati is a borough, the island is Salawati
- No reference to Basse-Ob or Lembien anywhere online. Lembien should probably be Pantar, which is the island in that location. No idea what Basse-Ob should be, it's unnamed on most sources.
- Malevu is a town on Naviti Island. Malevu Island is elsewhere.
- Isla Salas is a very random island in its location, and Kvaloya is a very prominent island that is missing.
- Afua seems to be referred to as Caviana in most sources.
I will certainly come back to this comment when I update the quiz. I cannot promise when that will be, since a lot of islands were added in Jetpunk's new (now two years old) map of the world. I will be sure to look at more maps than just Google Maps to double check, also :)
Could you please also accept "Funen" for "Fyn"? It's the englisch name for the island (see Wikipedia).
Only suggestion is changing the name of "Ghadex" to their
"Gozo" (English name) or "Għawdex" (Maltese name) and accepting all of these as type-ins.
Never seen it called Ghadex.
Thanks for playing :)
I'm absolutely glad to see you're going to update it as the map has changed. But I've also seen your comment saying that some islands may have been cut. :(
Is there a chance you can get a map with as many as possible? I mean there IS another quiz similar to yours on Jetpunk, with quite an overlap, but there are at least 150 islands which are different. (There is a lot of other information in that quiz, though, so even though there is an overlap, it's worth playing both.)

It would be great to have a quiz with all the islands... I guess that's an immense lot of work.
If somebody someday is willing to make this kind of quiz, but with the same map scambigol used, then surely that will be the perfect islands quiz.
I have faith that the quiz will happen at some point, because there are many hardworking quizmakers on Jetpunk, but the problem is that island quizzes are underrated on this site compared with city, region or even languages quizzes.
Also, maybe a more fitting title would be "All Landmasses on the JetPunk World Map" given the continental landmasses being included.
but as a Dutch person, i have to say:
it's terschelling, not tershelling
The northern unnamed island in Eastern Greenland is Shannon Island.
The unnamed island in Western Greenland is probably Qeqertaq Island.
I would say the southernmost archipelago in South America is actually a single island called Hoste Island.
The third southernmost archipelago I would also say is a single island named is probably a single island named Desolación Island.
The northernmost unnamed archipelago in South America is the Chonos Archipelago
I don't know where you got the name 'Afua' from. I would've thought it would've been Ilha Caviana.
The island to the west of "Afua" is probably multiple islands.
The islands in the Amazon delta are Ilha Grande do Gurupá, Ilha do Pará, Ilha Mexiana, and Ilha Caviana de Dentro.
Don't know where you got 'Basse-Ob' either, but it seems to be multiple islands that collectively make up the Нижне-Обский (Nizhny Obsky) sanctuary.
The island atop Krasnoyarsk Krai is Severny Island.
You also missed an island west of Guinea-Bissau, which is probably the Bissagos Archipelago.
The island in the Laptev Sea is probably Yarok Island.
Island north of Shannon Island is Store Koldewey.
Arve-prinsens seems to be an older name. English Wikipedia calls it Alluttoq Island.
Hard to tell what the island in southern Greenland is, possibly the Qaqortoq peninsula or the archipelago which surrounds it.
