MapTap, yes it's yet another daily game, but probably quicker and less mentally taxing

you have to click on cities on the globe, that's basically it.

my wife does the New York Times word games, this is my jam.

I've been playing this too, it's good

Revelations from the game:
I know the names of a decent number of cities in Japan but not exactly where they are
Southeast Asia looks very different on a globe vs map (or there's some other explanation for why I'm bad at this area)

Non-revelations from the game:
My knowledge of Chinese geography is absolutely dire

i hate this game with my life (i keep tapping far out to sea by mistake, this is the game's fault bcz it sucks, i do not suck)

I’m not very good at this! But it’s fun. I can mostly get in the mid-high 80s, I know where the countries are but not so much the cities (except North America and the UK, plus major Euro metros).

xp ha yeah it's kind of unforgiving that way, though I once got a 100 by accident when I was only trying to zoom in

it's def a bit harsh how they sometimes ask for pretty obscure cities, e.g., the Argentina one today or Huntsville, Alabama the other day

i just started this yesterday and the first thing i took away was that if i know where the country/state is but have no general idea where the city is - just go for the midpoint.

Not sure how I can locate third-tier Argentine cities with absolute precision but only have a vague idea where Florence, a city I have been to at least five times, is.

xpost I spent a long time trying to pick the right white blob on #1 ... I grew up not far from there and did a lot of zooming in and out and comparing to other cities in that state to get it right ... and I nailed it. But when I first looked, I definitely thought it was a white blob further north, which turned out to be two much smaller towns in a neighboring state. The correct blob was much smaller than I would've thought!

Yeah we’re a fairly compact blob on the landscape.

#3 is a lot further south than I remembered. I knew you go Florida --> Georgia --> Alabama but I aimed north of Georgia rather than west of Georgia. I don't think I ever knew that Alabama has a seacoast.

#4 is in a region I'm pretty clueless about -- been a few years since I had my Central American geography straight.
