World Countries Blackout

Click START to begin - then fill in the 25 squares with World countries (see NAMING NOTE below) based on the categories in the rows and cells. For example, if you are looking at a cell with 'Asia' in its row, and 'Starts With A' in the column, that cell can be filled in with 'Armenia.' Many shortened names of countries are accepted, such as DRC, CAR, UAE, UK, US, etc. Answering a country which doesn't fit in any remaining unanswered cell will end the quiz.

Occasionally a cell may not have a qualifying answer, in which case it will appear blank and be a gimme. After completing the quiz you can simply click RESTART to play again.

Please note that 'star on flag' does not include a representation of the Sun.

Scoring is based on 100 points for each correct (or blank) square, and 5 points are subtracted for every second used on the quiz. So you are rewarded for getting squares quickly, however be careful as not to name a country which doesn't qualify for an open cell.

NAMING NOTE: You must type a '.' (period) after a country name or abbreviation to submit it, to prevent entering a country you don't want to (i.e. Guinea when you want to enter Guinea Bissau). For country naming purposes, the following names are used: Cote d'Ivoire, Timor-Leste.

World Countries Blackout Challenge

The object of this game is to fill in the grid (see NAMING NOTE below) with the most qualified country for each cell. When you begin you'll be given a grid with column titles and a category for each row in the cells. You are to name a country which fits the column category but also has the 'most' of the row category. For example, if the column has 'Star On Flag' and the row is 'Easternmost Capital' you are trying to name the country whose capital is farthest east and has a star on its flag. For a column with '50 Coldest' and 'Smallest Population' you are trying to name the country with the smallest population that is among the 50 coldest. Populations and areas included dependent territories.

Upon naming a country, it will be placed HIGHEST scoring position in the for which that country qualifies (not necessarily the grid square you might be trying to get). You can then rename the same country and if it qualifies for another square the next highest score for it will fill in.

Scores are based on relative values of the answers - so answering the US for a largest population square that China also qualifies doesn't make US be close to 100, but less than 25 as China's population is over 4 times larger. The only time when this isn't true is when you are choosing the smallest value of something instead of largest, in which case it's based on ranking.

NAMING NOTE: To answer a country simply type it in with a '.' (period) at the end, for example 'us.' or 'china.' - some country abbreviations are accepted.

Try to accumulate the highest point total you can (max 100 for each square) before time runs out.

hugequiz Premium members will see the highest-ranking country for each unanswered square when the quiz is over.

Country populations include their dependent territories.

NAMING NOTE: You must type a '.' (period) at the end of each answer to prevent answering a country you didn't want to (i.e. answering Niger when you wanted to type Nigeria).

NAMING NOTE: To name a country, type in the country name followed by a '.' - i.e. 'France.' Abbreviations for countries ARE NOT used when determining alphabetical order (i.e. DRC, CAR, UAE), however they CAN be used to answer the country (still with the period at the end, i.e. 'US.').

Name the successive countries visited as you travel along the coast, crossing directly over any rivers/estuaries and ignoring bridges and also major canals such as the Suez and Panama. Once you make it back to the west coast of France, you will be 'transported' to New York, NY (so enter 'US' as it will tell you to do). Continue your journey moving south along the US east coast (so clockwise like before) until you return back and end the quiz.

Note - you are not ignoring any enclaves/exclaves along your journey, so the countries corresponding to those must be named.

You only start with 2 minutes for Premium members or 1 minute for non-Premium, but get 5 seconds added for every correct guess.

World Great Circle 3 Strikes Daily Challenge

Click START to begin. You will be shown a route between 2 world capital cities and the starting country will be shown as the upper left cell in the grid. No route will have less than 5 total countries. A new route will appear each day at midnight central US time.

Starting with the 2nd country (the first country is always your departure country), name the countries (see NAMING NOTE below) in order whose land territory (including dependent territories) you fly over to your destination. Capital routes are from the city centers NOT the airports. You are answering based on when you FIRST fly over them (occasionally you may fly over a country, then another, then the previous country again, do NOT list the first country twice). Each country is only answered once. The last country is generally the destination country, but not always (as you may have crossed over it previously then another country, then back over it to arrive).

You get 3 strikes before the quiz is over. Each wrong country guess is a strike.

NAMING NOTE - Most disputed territories are considered to be part of the country that administers them (such as Western Sahara as part of Morocco), unless there is joint administration in which case the territory is not counted as any country. To answer countries like 'Guinea' or 'Niger' put a '.' (period at the end) as they must be typed to enter another country, similar 'UK.' (with the period) can be typed for United Kingdom, as it must be typed to enter Ukraine.
