… without the pompous Alex Trebek.
Check out this game that visually tests geographic knowledge.
I can’t get past stage 11, the questions get very difficult near the end (identifying cities in Russia, China, or tiny countries in the Pacific Ocean.)
This game is designed well; I like the dual planting of the flags and the shockwave that measures the distance to the actual location.
I imagine that a version of this game could be useful for teaching geography in schools.

Hi Kenneth,
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I do hope that all the newspapers of note start to geolocate their articles.
Here’s a blog post that I wrote when I saw your post about GeoScrum.
