Due to increased traffic to the site over time, I'm slightly changing the free portion of the Google Maps quizzes (when non-Premium members can play them all) to the first 5 days of the month instead of the first week. Hopefully I'll be able to leave it like this for a while. The costs of the Google Maps API combined with the tens of thousands of plays each day during the free time was getting a little much.

Now hugequiz Premium members can enter guesses in Google Maps full screen mode! Simply click on the box in the upper right to enter full screen mode...

And now you will see a text entry box centered at the top in which you can enter guesses! This will give you a lot more screen real estate to view Google Maps quizzes!

So Indonesia was *supposed* to be changing capitals today to Nusantara on the island of Borneo, replacing its long-time capital of Jakarta. However, due to the new capital city being so unfinished, it seems like the actual transition has been put off. For now I will leave Jakarta as the Indonesian capital on my quizzes, and keep an eye on the transition.

I'm adjusting the schedule for non-Premium members to play World, US, and Europe city based Google Maps quizzes. It will now be just the first week of the month for all of them, rather than Europe the first week and World/US the second week. This will take effect in September.
