Isn't it fun! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Yeah, my parents are completely addicted to this at the moment.
Which types of games are you all trying? I've only attempted the "world", "North America", "USA" and "Europe" challenges. There are some categories that I just know I would be miserable at, so I haven't tried. I can't imagine how hard "Flags of the World" would be.

I don't know which one I did Amanda. I just clicked on something and it started quizzing me.
There are different tests? I remember getting asked about capitals and world cities I think. It was hard to click on places like Israel, when I couldn't even see Israel on the map. I simply clicked on the general location of Israel and prayed for daylight! :laugh:
It became much more difficult around level 7 or 8.

Heya,
Yep, if you look just above where the map appears on the screen you'll see a menu list of categories. You can choose the type of geography quiz that you'd like to try. For instance, you can choose to do one that focuses only on the continent of Europe. Or you can pick a quiz that's only about the U.S. etc.
When you first go to the site I think it starts with the "World" quiz by default.
And, yes, the questions get more difficult as it goes from level to level. The highest levels can only be accessed if you accumulate enough points in earlier levels.
I don't think I've gotten past level 8 in any of the tests yet. My Mom claims to have gotten to level 11 in the "World" quiz.
:laugh: You're right about the clicking aspect being really hard... especially for tiny countries. :)
Brown Eyes:
OK, as an example. I just did the quiz titled "USA Challenge" and I got to level 7 of 8. My score this time was 14,161. In the little result window that comes up at the end it said: "Sorry you need 15,000 points to continue to the next level."
I think there are different maximum levels for each different quiz.
