Great quiz.

It does need a bit more time though. I was typing constantly and never had time to scroll down and check the boxes at the bottom. If I had I would have realised I had missed Hawaii and that the landmark in China was NOT a river. I was typing my last known answer when

I ran out of time, and I got all but three, so possibly only an extra 30 seconds needed.

I knew all the cities just didnt come to mind and I wrote both EU and Northern Terretory wrong.

194/200 - I had a really hard time discerning the coloring of the symbols due to partial loss of vision/acuity, the zoom didn't help much + all the scrolling down to find the category of missing answers took a lot of time. This might be impossible, but could the map be filtered so a person can select a category (e.g. capitals, landmarks) and just display those so a person can mentally work through each category? I agree the Vatican was confusing, I kept trying Malta and then just went through San Marino and VC - but a great quiz! It would be nice to have quizzes for each country, deep-dive for each nationality. Happy Christmas!

Okay...... I got a 184/200, I don't feel that stupid, I got confused with the great wall of china, thinking it was something like a rail system, because it wasn't blue so in my mind, it wasn't a landmark, other than that, all I missed was a handful of cities, and I don't feel too bad about that...... but after looking at what the cities actually are.... they all seem so obvious now, but..... whatever

The map is way too big for some of these landmarks. The one in England could be literally anything-- Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, etc. And you have to be consistent with symbols-- the "landmark" in China looks like a river. Also, there needs to be at least 60 more seconds. I never stopped typing and didn't even have time to scroll down to look at the answer boxes.
