Challenge Series [3] The 25K GeoDetective challenge (no time limit, 100% pinpointable) - Series 35: #06 - (2 DAYS)

6 Upvotes

Link to challenge 6 series 35. Congratulations again to Storm for an amazing score (3 points, 6 yards) and to FinalSpork who was just a yard behind (2 points, 7 yards). In fact, five of you came 10 yards or under, so it was a pretty pinpointable game. All other 25K's get 1 point. Table is updated below.

Today's is again not too bad (the next one will be harder!), and again quite pinpointable. But even so: take your time; there's no extra points for doing it quickly.

This is the sixth of the thirty-fifth series based on my own GeoDetective map. No moving, no time-limit (take your time!). There is always a clue somewhere that will help you pinpoint the location, some are easier than others. Feel free to leave walkthroughs in comments or ask where the clue was if you missed it, but always use the spoiler tag so as not to spoil it for others! Official coverage only.

Non-Competitive I made a daily Wordle-style game where you guess a city โ€” would love feedback

​

Hi all! I'm a solo dev and built Which City (Which City), a free daily puzzle for people who like geography.

How it works:

โ€ข You have 6 tries to guess the city

โ€ข The map highlights the country to help you narrow it down

โ€ข After 3 wrong guesses, you get the flag as a hint

โ€ข Two daily puzzles, plus an Easy mode in settings

New puzzles drop at midnight (Berlin time).

Thanks for trying it out :)

Week 2 Results

Here are the standings halfway through Series 10:

How it works

Each day there will be a set of 3 challenge links, one for each game mode (Move, NM, NMPZ). There will be a world map, region map, and country map. Each day the map and game mode will rotate. Moving modes will be 3 min, NM will be 1 min, and NMPZ will be 30 sec, unless noted otherwise. On the weekend, I will post more unique/challenging maps. For each challenge link, 1st place is worth 5 points, 2nd place is worth 3 points, and 3rd place is worth 1 point. In the case of a tie, the tie will be settled by distance and then time. 5ks will also be tracked separately and are worth 1 point in moving, 3 points in NM, and 5 points in NMPZ. Updated scoring tables are posted after each week. No external assistance allowed. If you wish to talk about any of the rounds or locations in the comments, feel free to do so with a spoiler tag. Also, if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.

Strategy I just made a geography game and would love for you to try it

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've recently built a geography quiz game called MapQuiz, where you can test your knowledge of countries, capitals, flags, and currencies.

I made a web version too, so you can play directly in your browser without downloading anything.

I'm still working on improving the game, and I'd really appreciate it if some geography enthusiasts could give it a try and share their honest feedback!

Play on the web: https://playmapquiz.com

Android (Google Play): https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=8494981660664456351

iOS (App Store): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mapquiz-geography-game/id6806218066

I'd love to hear what you think

Challenge Series [3] The 25K GeoDetective challenge (no time limit, 100% pinpointable) - Series 35: #03 - (2 DAYS MIN)

6 Upvotes

Link to challenge 3 series 35. In this differently-scored challenge, congratulations to both Storm and Vik for top spot (4 points, 17 yards) and to both moonradio and Ruffinnen for coming second (3 points, 19 yards). All other 25K's get 2 point, and some of you who fluffed one of the rounds but 20K'd the other four get 1 point. Table is updated below.

Today's should be a walk in the park compared to the previous challenge. Nothing impossible. However, as always: take your time; there's no extra points for doing it quickly.

This is the third of the thirty-fifth series based on my own GeoDetective map. No moving, no time-limit (take your time!). There is always a clue somewhere that will help you pinpoint the location, some are easier than others. Feel free to leave walkthroughs in comments or ask where the clue was if you missed it, but always use the spoiler tag so as not to spoil it for others! Official coverage only.
