Whats your Travel IQ?

How well do you know the cities and famous sites of the world?

I made it to level 10. Some of those African capitals are pretty tricky!

Warning: highly addictive.

3. I got to level 10.
Same here, some of the cities in Africa tripped me up. I'll have to try this again when I get home. Thanks! :hi:

7. Same Here
I got to level 11. I think i had about 6,000 fewer points. A few times i didn't get good scores because i couldn't find it. (Palau, for instance.) I know where it is, but i missed it by 500km, because i couldn't even see a dot for the island.

9. Yes, the small islands threw me
the Pacific especially, it is hard to see any land mass that could be small islands.

10. You know it
I guess living in North East Asia for a couple of years didn't help me

Still only got to Level 10, though. I love the fact that 1 pixel = about 500 miles :eyes:

14. Highly addictive indeed
I averaged about 125 IQ points per session but some were really obscure.

The African capitals aren't what gets me, it's those damned islands I can't see.

19. You think DU is addictive
I got hooked on this about 3 weeks ago. Got through level 10 pretty easily, level 11 not so bad, but took a week of play and some map study to pass level 12.
