I do not care much about #fashion, but I saw this in a Louis Vuitton shop window. And I thought WTF!!! Is LV selling anti-personnel landmines!!! 🤬 It is a loudspeaker btw. Resembling a landmine, the design is really disgusting 🤮. What next? A prosthetic leg handbag?

Visited Schloss Lichtenstein #castle about a week ago. Not as famous as Neuschwanstein, but utterly impressive. Romantic #historism architecture.
Located in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany 🇩🇪.

I was experimenting with adding roads to the quiz maps. Complex #maps need additional reference points.

So the first one having roads is about the neighborhoods of Houston: geographyquiz.app/quiz/usa-hou...

Then I also made a quiz about the roads itself: geographyquiz.app/quiz/usa-hou...

I think the new flags are easily recognizable. There are/was so many state flags with a blue background and an emblem that were hard to tell apart.

Now it's official. Utah has a new flag!

I have updated the "USA - State Flags Quiz":
geographyquiz.app/quiz/usa-sta...

Minnesota will follow in May.

If this quiz is too easy, try the "no text" version of the quiz:

So, the Meta world is down. Already since an hour. No Facebook, Instagram and Threads. Good for Bluesky I guess.

You can play this quiz in English. But you can also switch to Japanese language.

You are really into Japan ⛩️ and this quiz is too easy for you? Try the prefectures quiz: : geographyquiz.app/quiz/japan-p...

Japan 🗾 is a fascinating place for many people. Learn a little about the geography of the country. Can you correctly identify the regions of Japan on the map 🗺️? Where are Hokkaido and Kantō located, for example?

Oh ok, true that. In the rivers quiz you can not show the state names 🙈. Maybe I should add that!

Actually you can always click on "Show places" to see all place names 🙂

I also added a small new feature to the website. After solving a quiz you can share your quiz results. Similar to these posts about solving a Wordle quiz 🟩🟨​. And the results also include a Link to your result page. Proof of how you solved the quiz. 😜

Yeah I will move the Crimean border back to Ukraine in the Europe quiz. I made the quiz after the annexation but before the full scale invasion attempt by Russia. But it is not consistent, also regarding the Donbass region that at that time already was partly under Russian control (and a war zone).

That is indeed a good idea. I'll write a few words about the status of Kosovo in the description of the quiz!

And what about Taiwan? It is "de facto" an independent country. Even though not recognized by most countries in the world. Always treat is as a province of China in the quiz games?

Regarding the internationally recognized country borders. It is still very difficult. Should I leave out Kosovo in the Europe Countries Quiz? Is this really helpful? Still I do not have Pristina in the capitals quiz.

Oh that is really interesting! Great project 👍
I was busy with the neighborhoods some time ago when making quiz games such as: geographyquiz.app/quiz/new-yor...
Still have Staten Island on my to-do list though.

Funny thing is, you make the effort to learn something like the U.S. states or the counties of Europe and you profit from this for the rest of your life 🙂

Thanks again, yes I know! Due to the close proximity to Qatar it is not being queried. But I wrote it in the text below the map. The location of Bahrain can be learned in the capitals quiz via Manama city.

You know, the Great Lakes, right?

Thanks! Yes, I was experimenting with quiz games where you have to match other information with a place or country.
E.g. match the U.S. presidents to their birth states (geographyquiz.app/quiz/usa-bit...).
