"Can you get a perfect score of 100? Drop a pin where you think each location is, and see how close you get."

Very nice interactive map too, you can zoom around and scroll and tilt in "3D".

Very beautiful images of the countries to guess, with educational hints. You can replay it too, it randomizes the countries every try.

Great way to put Africa on the... Map... Of the world!

That's good. I got like 75 and was like, fair enough.

When it comes to learning geography, these games really drill it into you if you just keep playing.

And pretty colors. Africa is just insane.

92/100, the only reason I got anywhere near a decent score on this is because of the descriptions. Hardly even looked at the pictures.

Youngest nation? South Sudan Longest coastline? Somalia. Large diamond producer? Botswana. Near Freetown? Sierra Leone. Guinnean Franc as currency? Guinea. North of Rabat? Morocco. Etc etc etc

If I didn't have the descriptions I would've been cooked
