Try the counties of the United States.

I suspect the Counties of Great Britain would be a real challenge.

That could be fun. Or maybe some of those places with fabulous names like 'Sod Roof-On-Edge-of-River-Whatsit-Near-Somewhere-Else. :P

Try the counties of the United States.

All the same names, just repeated hundreds of times.

I think we should attempt to count the number of Washington Streets in New England. It's absolutely ridiculous trying to navigate round here. What did they call them before the insurrection?

They'd probably be ok till they hit the Maritimes. :float:

I could. And the states of Mexico too. And the countries of Europe. Assuming they have not changed today. Past that I get a bit haz, but I used to know the republics ofthe USSR.

Thaks, Riley. I had seen the US one quite a long time ago, but the Canadian one was new. It was not hard because of all the irregular coast lines in most provinces. I didn't know Prince Edward Island was a separate province.

I got 98% (2 miles) on my first try, but I managed to get 100% after many tries.

Here are many more. Clicking on a region gives you several games of various difficulty.

Wow, I tried the one where you have to resize, and rotate the provinces, and that was pretty hard.

I only got 10/13.

I won't even attempt that with the states.
