It’s not easy. I’ve played it several times and usually I couldn’t make it to level 5, but once I made it through level 10!
Those cities in Brazil and Russia kill me, and I can’t figure out where places like Turkmenistan are.
How well can you do?

Got to level 8.

I can’t play, because I won’t tell it my name. What’s up with that? Is there a casual, MYOB version available?

I just put in a random string of letters. Or just say Bob or whatever. It doesn’t use the name for anything really.

Level 9… had no idea where the hell Mauritania was. Once they take away the country borders, it gets a lot more difficult.

First crack at it…Level 6.
There goes the afternoon.

It happily accepted “fdsrrtfse” as my name.
I got to level 8 as well. Once the borders disappear, it gets a whole lot tougher.

Level 9 score of 16881.
A lot of repeat locations, like Miami and Belfast.

Okay, nm. It accepted “beeswax” (as in “none of your”).

First shot at it…uh, managed to complete Level 10 with a score of 18,661. I would have crashed out on Level 9 but miraculously managed to get within “0 km” of St. Petersburg, Russia (or “Sainkt-Petersburg” as the game charmingly called it), then got close enough on the last city to squeak by with one point to spare.
Cities definitely got more difficult near the end, though there were a few repeats.

22746 and thats with a dirty ball track mouse.
Some tricky spellings caught me off guard.

I got to level 7 first try.
I’m confused though, what constitutes a “Game Over”.

Level 9. Taking away the borders made it more difficult, but the number of repeats then reduced the difficulty.

You have to get a certain number of points to go to the next level. If you don’t get that number of points, it’s game over

Best I’ve done so far is level 6.
Africa and South America kill me.
Eastern Europe and western Asia (save India) are a pain, too, but not as bad as Africa and South America.

So I got back to this game and reached Level 10: 18,051 pts.
On the plus side, I now know exactly where in Africa Gabon is
