  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

An unusual puzzle-esque game available here.

The goal is simple: you're given an unlabeled map of the world, and asked to mark various spots on it. The closer you are and the faster you mark, the more points you earn. You have a certain number of tries (three on the first stage, with one more try each level) to score over a certain point quota, which increases each level. There are ten levels.

Sound simple?

Have you forgotten how big the planet is? Well, here's a reminder: your score is tripled if you place a marker within two hundred kilometers.

Pack a lunch, you're going to be here for a while.

This game contains examples of:

  • Flawless Victory: A "strike" (placing your marker directly on the city's location) is a quintuple multiplier.
  • Luck-Based Mission: Frequently, you'll clear a level only because you were either given a tourist hotspot (Orlando, Florida) or a city in a very small and easily recognized country (Great Britain's small size means you'll get triple multipliers with regularity). Just as frequently, you'll score several hits, only to lose on some incredibly obscure African nation-state.
  • Mother Russia Makes You Strong: Subverted; Russia is hated by players of this game, because its immense size means if you misplace a city, you're probably thousands of kilometers off.
  • Nintendo Hard: Hope you're either a geography major or have a world map on hand.
  • Oh Crap: Being given a city you've never heard of in a country you've never heard of.
  • Scoring Points: The goal is to clear ever-increasing point caps.
  • Timed Mission: The faster you make a decision, the more points you score. It's Game Over if you let the timer expire.
  • Up to Eleven: Level 7 makes this even harder. How? They remove the country borders.
