I tried all most of the other games once and my scores were
World--116
USA--112
North America--98, too many Mexican places for an American like me
Canada--105, not too bad, pretty easy in the provinces because most everything is near the USA. Did you know there is a Sodom, Ontario? That was in the Odd place names
Europe--96, I'm better than Bush though!
Amazing Race--114
Asia--102
UNESCO sites--106
Africa--100, mostly all guesing
I can just imagine a geography teacher coming up to me and saying "Prismwiz, you're a failure!" in the midst of whacking a yardstick on my desk.

Second try got 477,288 points, IQ 123... but 6,000 or so points short of advancing to level 12 
Traveling to Africa quite a bit this year helped, but I'm clueless about Australian geography... and way too much margin for error there!

Fun, but humbling
282K points
102 IQ
Level 8 (I think)
Not horrible for a first try, especially for somebody who's never traveled to South America, Africa, or Asia (other than Japan, as a military brat), and who's only been outside the U.S. and British Columbia once in the last 17 years. Okay, I'll stop patting myself on the back now.
Still, I used to think I was pretty good at geography. Looks like I need to hit the books!
