I will try Europe tomorrow.

The North America game is hard because of that one full round that's just about the Caribbean Islands. I've never been to the Caribbean and my knowledge of the geography of those islands (especially the small ones) is very shaky.
But, the thing I love about these games is that I really feel like I've actually learned a lot. I can now get past the Caribbean round pretty frequently.
For the U.S. test I can usually get to the final level 8 pretty regularly these days... but it's very hard to pass level 8 because they often give really rather obscure little towns (etc.) for that round.
The Flags test really is hard!

Not playing, not playing, throwing rattle out the pram. I am unbelievably cr-p at this,even the Europe one.It's so bad I'm shouting insults back at the computer.
Going to get my little girl onto it for her states and capitals test.Now I know why I took history not geography,I suck at the trivial pursuits geography as well.

I was real tickled I knew where Head Bashed In Buffalo Jump was located (southern Alberta), I missed it by 17 km.

I was pretty horrible at most of the games too when my Mom first emailed it to me. But, gradually I'm improving. So, don't give up Fiona! The quizzes repeat certain locations (just enough) that if you do some of the games repeatedly they work pretty effectively as fun learning tools.

I know what you mean Tru! There are plenty of BBM and Brokie related locations that come up. In the U.S. challenge they often ask for the location of Devil's Tower and a few other Wyoming places. And, sometimes Perth comes up as a question in the World game.

Why is Memphis called "Bluff City" as a nickname?
