It’s hard to become more worldly and play a video game at the same time. You can do both with the Traveler IQ Challenge. An interactive, geographic version of pin the tail on the donkey, the “challenge” is to click your mouse as close as possible to the given place on the virtual map. Success depends on proximity to cities and landmarks, so knowing what Australia looks like doesn’t guarantee you’ll get anywhere near Syndey. And it takes more than a 5th grade geography bee champion to conquer all 12 levels – you’ll have to get your pacific islands straight first. But hey, you just might learn where Congo-Brazzaville is in the process.
