Yeah, I only got level 6 as well. The map is really too small to get as accurate as they would like for some places.

Just tried it again and got a level 5! I completely missed some countries that I've BEEN TO! And yeah, it is hard to get precise, especially with the trackpad on this Macbook.

Apparently my 'traveler's IQ' is nowhere near my real IQ. I can't get past level 6.

Level 6. But I just got back to college from Thanksgiving break and I'm not in the condition to do geography, if you catch my drift. I'll try again tomorrow.

Level 6.

Whoever designed that webpage to needlessly resize my browser has a very low web design IQ.

I played this on Facebook, got to level 12 with an IQ of about 130 or so and was still ranked about 1,300 or something crazy.

I thought I should get some photographic proof ;)

Level 10 threw mostly African locations at me. I need to go refresh my memory on those. I haven't looked at geography since high school.
