€dit: Closest I ever got to was Tokyo with 10km.
Yeah, it is hard to get really close even if you know exactly where it is.
And yeah, Africa sucks.

I got bugged down on Level 8. Seriously it was Africa that killed me.

It is bloody hard to get closer than 50-60 km though. Even Sankt Petersburg which is dead easy to spot I got 60 km away. The map is too far away.

I got within 20 km of Fenway park on level 5. It was Africa and the island nations that got me.

It's fun. At least I learned a few places with this game.

What kills me though are those little fucking islands in the middle of no where (Non-Caribbean islands)

Edit: Gave it a 2nd try and got 118 instead of 116.

And my third try yielded me:

[Methene]

Damn it myst, you've broken my score. Now I'll have to go back to it just to assert my superiority. :)

Good job though. And yes those islands are annoying, especially since they don't appear on the tiny map.

I hate Russia. God, and I should've known where Volgograd was.

I don't believe some of these outlandish scores...I demand proof.

[Sree]

My highest was level six with a traveller IQ of 93. @_o

I just can't get past level 6.

[Marie M]

Same here, can't get past 6th level, IQ is always somewhere between 91-95.

Though I haven't played more than 4 times, going to try to go till 10th level, wish me luck

[DarthBill]

First try.
Score: 157,247
IQ: 90
HIghest level: 6

I got within 50 miles of Rome, and 53 miles of Dallas (Though, I live there, so that was easy.).

After four tries, I never got more than 180000 or higher than 93 (never past lvl 6).
I did get within 31 miles of Big Ben, though.

[Sree]

The closest I ever got to a place was 2 km, I think. I was amazed.

[Dark Lord Gullible]

It's fucking impossible to accurately pinpoint the locations so 2km is a) awesome and b) awesome luck. Though I didn't complain when I got within 7km of the pantheon. :P

[malaga]

I just got 05 km from Christchurch!

This game is strangely addictive. When you describe it, it sounds boring, but when playing it's hard to stop.

[Darius]

Never broke 90 and my closest was 14 KM from CN tower ^_^

[Neffiedrake]

First try, got to lvl 7^^

EDIT: Bleh, got a 112 IQ on the second run, but it gets ridiculously hard after thathttp://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb237/Krullion/worldscore.jpghttp://

[Chime??]

81 :/ although I steadily started improving as I got used to the shitty map.

Geography isn't a strong trait for Americans (as it is so lovingly pointed out in the media). I guess I'm just another statistic.

[Sree]

Americans aren't any worse or any better than the rest of the world at geography.

I once talked to a Scottish person who said the same thing, and I knew a shitload more about the world than he did. It's all just petty anti-American bull.

[Eidolonic]

High is 98... 6km from Fenway Park.

Got a 99...level 8 screws me hard, for some reason. I have problems with Africa, primarily. Mainly because I simply don't care about it, perhaps? Meh. Be interesting to have people from every civilized nation attempt this, see how it compares.

[Mercenary]

Level 8 for me.

Its an interesting little game.

I missed one place by about 18,000 KM forget what it was though.

Still better than I thought I would do.

[PlacatedTurtle]

I have had this on facebook for a while, and play it every now and then when i am bored. So I have learned where some of the obscure things are but I still can't ever get past level 10.

It says I'm good at this. I nailed Tehran, only 14km away :)

[malaga]

*snickers*

This is completely off topic, but I thought you said you nailed Tehan, as in the person.

Also, I am crap at this game. I can memorize places once they come up, but whenever a new one comes, I'm stumped.

[Blaise]

...Fuck you, World, for introducing this game to the forum, and fuck you too, lilyqueen, for re-awakening this thread. I JUST got over my Text-Twist addiction, and then you bring this shit up!

Hells bells, this thing is addictive...
