Does anybody remember a site that some user put up here a few years ago - basically on the site, you were given a picture of the whole world, and the name of a city / town. You then clicked on the part of the world where you thought the city was located, and the site told you how many kilometres (or thousands of kilometres) you were off by.

I've tried searching for it, but can't find it.

Can anybody help?

Good bump Osarusan, I love this game (though at this point it is easy for me :p...besides when those strange Russian cities come along)

123. I was 13,000 km off of some island in the Pacific that I'd never heard of.

Half my geography class in university had this game on their facebook pages. It got very competitive! I prefer the flag version myself.

135, narrowly escaped despite the obscure Russian cities

My crowning moment was getting within 7 kms of Salzburg, Austria, or maybe within 14 kms of Palikir, Federated States of Micronesia.

129 on the flags one, that was far too easy, how amusing they tried to put Caribbean on the last one, I did best there :D

I hate you Mr O for bringing this back into my life. My head was wrecked with it last nite! God I know nothing about African geography!

The Russian cities weren't a problem for me, it was the monasteries in Slovenia and the like...

European cities, easy but the bloody Russian ones. Not to mention Pacific islands... and Indonesian cities. Played it as a Facebook app...
