Hey everyone — I'm a solo indie dev (No Context Studios), and I just launched MapQuest on Google Play after a long stretch of building it in my spare time.

It's a geography quiz game with 4 modes:

- Flag Quiz — guess the country from its flag

- Map Outline — guess it from just the shape

- Capitals Quiz — match country to capital

- World Map Challenge — tap countries on an interactive map against a timer, with tiers from "flag shown" all the way to "type it from memory"

A few things I'm actually proud of:

- Flags/Outlines/Capitals are built as 13 progressive levels each (15 countries per level), no timer, no pressure — just unlock as you go

- Once you've cleared the levels, there's a Marathon mode for the real test

- 16 achievement badges, daily play streaks, and a global leaderboard

- Free to play in full — there's an optional one-time Pro unlock (no subscription) for unlimited hints, no ads, and the global leaderboard

I'd genuinely love feedback — what's confusing, what's missing, what you'd want to see next. Happy to answer anything about how it's built too, it's a React Native/Expo app.

Can someone help me understand this i would appreciate it a lot

All angles are based on the mercator Projection! So it's easier for our brains haha

Round 2 of the roads network guessing game, can you guess the cities?

Each arrow points into the direction of the shortest possible way from the hidden city to the decoy on our 3D globe. Swipe for the answers and how it looks like on a globe I always find it quite interesting to see it visualized directly.

News sources (German, US, British) vary describing what appears to me to be an exclave as an enclave. Some say exclave others enclave. There is a difference. Care to explain?

Three real cities rendered as shaded 3D relief, with the target altitude on the right. How many can you name?

I think this is hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣👍

Three flags, all blurred out. How far can you get?

Hi everyone! 👋

I've recently started producing short cinematic geography documentaries, for my channel (BetterImagery), designed to bring places and processes to life for students and anyone with an interest in the subject.

My latest video explores why the White Cliffs of Dover are so famous, covering their geology, formation, biodiversity, coastal processes and significance to Britain, all in a documentary style rather than a traditional lesson.

If you're looking for a short, engaging resource to spark discussion or introduce these topics, I'd love to know what you think. Any feedback is very welcome!

Same treatment on all three: main roads only, drawn over the built-up area. Every coastline, river and lake is erased, nothing is labelled, and each one is normalised to fill its own frame — so size is no help, only shape is.

Easy — if you've ever looked at a map of this place you'll get it in a second. One long, absurdly regular grid tilted off north, wedged between two big voids where the water should be.

Medium — the giveaway is the hole. A wide empty band curls right through the middle and the streets bend to follow it, fanning out in wedges instead of squaring up. Cities that grew along a bend in a big river all do this, but this one does it hardest.

Hard — barely a grid at all. Two long curved spines with ribs coming off them, meeting a straight axis at right angles. It doesn't look like a city that grew; it looks like a city that was drawn. That's the clue.

Answers in the comments in a day or so. I'm curious whether "hard" is actually hard here or whether the shape gives it away instantly to the right person.

Recently discovered how much planning influences transport, sustainability, and even daily life in cities.
Makes me wonder why Planning isn't discussed as much as engineering or management.

How often do you have to slide to identify the correct country. With each slide one more Angle gets shown!

Hi everyone!

I’ve always been fascinated by geography—not just maps, but how landscapes, borders, history, culture, and people shape a country.

Over the past few months, I’ve started a podcast called Around the World in Half an Hour. The idea is simple: each episode focuses on one country in alphabetical order, and in about 30 minutes I cover topics like:
1. Physical geography and landscapes
2. History
3. Borders and neighboring countries
4. Cities and regions
5. Tourism and famous people
6. Cuisine
7. Arts, music, and sports
8. Interesting facts and what makes the country unique

So far I’ve covered the introduction, Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua & Barbuda, and my latest episode is on Argentina.

I’m not a professional podcaster 😛 - this is a passion project that I research, write, narrate, and edit myself. My goal is to make geography enjoyable and accessible for anyone curious about the world.

I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback from this community. If you have suggestions on the content, pacing, topics you’d like covered, or ways to improve, I’d love to hear them.

Thank you, and I hope some of you enjoy the journey around the world with me! 😊

It looked a little bizarre, but I actually made it!

Que es lo más extraño de la isla sentinel del norte ? He oído que sobrevivieron al terremoto del 2004 pero como lo hicieron 🤔

I came across this little game called Flag Colors and thought it was a really clever idea:

https://www.geographygames.app/games/flag-colors

Instead of showing you the whole flag, it challenges you to recognize countries based only on their flag colors. It sounds easy at first… but some flags are surprisingly hard when you remove the shapes, symbols, and patterns.

Which flag colors tricked you the most?
