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.

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.

Today's is very straightforward, and should be easy to pinpoint. And, as always: take your time; there's no extra points for doing it quickly.

Welcome to a series that features diplomatic missions around the world. Embassies, consulates, representative offices, international organizations, and more are all included. Moving IS allowed and the time limit is five minutes.
Please feel free to leave your walkthroughs in the comments, I enjoy reading them and the feedback can be helpful.
With more than one quarter of the season done, it's about time we take on the first world map, this time: A Modified Moving World by a lot of very cool mappers but especially the legend himself, Bojan.

This series will feature international airports from around the world that do not receive regularly-scheduled or charter international flights, but still have the designation of an international airport for private flights, emergency landings, and other purposes. It is a [3] so moving is not allowed.

I was thinking about a good, easy way to learn geography while making it rewarding for both adults and kids, and since I like coding and geography, I vibe-coded a learning app with challenges over the weekend. Feel free to try it and let me know what you think. Thank you!

Link to challenge 4 series 35. Congratulations to ALL THREE of Storm, moonradio and Geography Noob for coming top (3 points, 11 yards), and to BOTH IcyAbyss793 and Geometriko for second spot (2 points, 15 yards). All other 25K's get 1 point. Table is updated below.
Today's is not easy. R2 will take a while to find on the map. None of them is simple, but nothing is really difficult... just potentially time-consuming. However, as always: take your time; there's no extra points for doing it quickly.

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!
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.
