Great quiz. For us geography nerds, giving the bordering countries makes it too easy. Would be great to have a version that doesn't list the bordering countries, or only identifies the continent. (The fact that the answers are in alphabetical order already provides a nice clue.)

That would be pretty difficult, but if you want to try it then here it is. We've thrown in an extra minute for that one.

The combo France, Belgium and Germany applies to Netherlands too via Saint Martin/Sint Maarten.

Oversease territories don't usually count as borders on Jetpunk (French Guiana has an elevated status so it is always included).

The problem is, most overseas territories don't have(/create) borders.

That's basically only Gibraltar, French Guiana and Saint Martin.

Would make it slightly more difficult if the answers weren't in alphabetical order.

Shouldn’t Morocco be on here? It borders Algeria, Mauritania and Spain. You could argue about Ceuta and Melilla, but Spain itself is not an answer in this quiz and thus considered has four borders, one of which is Morocco.

I totally agree, Morocco is missing

Wouldn't Spain "thus considered" have five borders? Portugal, Andorra, France, UK (Gibraltar), and Morocco (Ceuta and Melilla), so even if Morocco wasn't counted, Spain wouldn't be correct for this quiz

This quiz does not claim to be a list of every country with three borders. If we did include Morocco, our clue countries would actually be Spain, Algeria and Western Sahara!

It's a bit weird, really. Overseas territories, such as Sint Marteen, are not considered, but the autonomous cities of Spain and Turkey in Morocco are.

The description is a bit confusing/ambiguous.

These countries ( the ones shown) border exactly three other countries (the ones you need to guess).

I know what is meant obviously, otherwise it would become a very messy quiz. But I think it is written in opposite way of how quizzes usually are described, if you get what I mean. Like "these sets of words (the ones shown) all have something in common ( the thing you need to guess).

Minor remark (and maybe I am mistaken and they are normally this way round) . But thought I'd mention it.

Still nice challenge and managed to get 100% had to think a bit for Mozambique Tanzania and Zambia, but for most of the others the correct one popped into my head while I was still typing, so it was smooth sailing.

Edit: ow yea, typed belize first for the guatemala one.
