Click START to begin - then fill in the 100 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.

What about a version of this quiz but with 100 random cities, perhaps with different difficulty settings such as above 500k population, 250k population, 100k population and 50k population?
It could be fun to have a more difficult version of this where the map is a blank map with country outlines only, rather than this map which allows you to pinpoint many large cities through a combination of satellite view and roads.
Point scale is ridicoulous.
You can click in the city and get less than 90 point, because the marker is placed in a different location.
Had 2 guesses of 0 km deviation from the marker and still only 99 points. I can’t know where you put the marker.
Should be 100 points for at least within 10 km of the marker, as the position of the marker is quite random. And you’re likely to have clicked somewhere in the city, if you were within 10 km.
Also theree should be more points for just being somewhat close. Getting less than 50 point, while feeling like you were in the general area of the country is very demotivating.
Could be fun if the point scale was not so frustrating.
Yeah I’ve just updated all the locator quizzes with a better point scale, much like how Geoguessr’s points work. Demands a little more accuracy on quizzes with states or countries, and a little more leeway for large continent and world-sized quizzes.
Need more time. I couldn’t even get through the full list without time running out
added a few min.
How do I start? :S
you should see a city name to double click on its location..if not refresh the quiz
