The Traveler IQ Challenge is another game to test your knowledge of Geography that was created by Travel Pod, an Ottawa-based company. The game is pretty much a single-player Geosense, but with much better graphics.
Your goal here is to locate cities or famous places on a map of the world with your mouse. Your score is presented after each answer, and the game consists of 12 levels of increasing difficulty, each with a limited number of questions.
It is pretty easy to locate cities like Houston or Paris and famous places like the Tower of London or the Red Square, but it becomes much more difficult to locate a city like Luang Prabang or a famous place like Wangerooge! Huh, did I say famous?
Update: if you experience problems running the game, try the original link.
