We are eager to spend time playing exciting games, but what about the games that will challenge our geography knowledge? From earlier childhood, we have been learning about the areas of our planet, which we already know more than anyone else.

We were to investigate the foundation of geography, and now we have the opportunity to challenge ourselves whether we know the cities, the location of the countries, and their flags or not. Therefore, there will be the best geo challenge apps for us to challenge our geography knowledge in the article.

In addition to this one, check out the article about the best guess the country games.

GeoChallenge – Flags Quiz + Maps, Capitals

The app proposes to us a lot of various quiz games to challenge our geography knowledge. First of all, we are to choose the whole world or a particular continent, then the challenges appear. There are different game modes:

  • The users have five lives and unlimited questions; every wrong answer picks up one life.  We are to play to our heart’s content.
  • Three modes of quizzes: long, short, or standard corresponding to the level questions.
  • The mode «Sudden Death». It is similar to the first mode, but with only one life

With the help of the mentioned app, we challenge our knowledge of flags, capitals, and the map of the countries. Furthermore, a list of the countries with their flags and capitals is presented in the app out of the game. The players are to investigate and remember it.

Hence, GeoChallenge can be used for educational purposes. The additional advantage of the app is the presence of unique challenges in which the level is harder than in the ordinary challenges. For instance, the quiz «Similar flags».

There are more than 250 countries and over 500 regions for the challenge, but we have the opportunity to unlock more than 25 regional quizzes, including the British, states of Germany, France, Italy, the United States of America, Canadian provinces, and many more.

Geo Challenge Classic

Firstly, it is an interesting app due to its design; it reminds the users of a kid’s game because of the vivid and multicolored buttons. The main advantage of the app is the fact that it is suitable for everyone: adults and kids. Its graphics and relaxing music will help us fill up our free time profitably.

There are several rounds in the game quiz:

  • The first is to guess the flag. We are to point to the right banner of the mentioned country. It is a piece of cake from the very beginning; however, the levels come to be harder and harder.
  • The second is to guess the border. We are given the image of a country’s border; our task is to figure out which country has the same location. Again, it’s easy from the beginning, but hard in the end.
  • The third is to find the city. This round is more difficult, to my mind, because we are to point out the exact location of the indicated city. Nevertheless, this round brings to us more points than the previous two.
  • The app presents to us the country’s image in which the city is located; we should poke the right spot on the map.
  • Last but not least fins the landmark. It is similar to the previous round but more sophisticated; we have to figure out the signatures on the map and point out its exact location.

Geo Challenge Classic is a worthwhile pastime to good use. We discover more about geography in a game form,  which is more interesting than the schoolbooks.

Geo Challenge – World Geograph

The graphics and animation play an important role in the app, the users are interested in the passage of the educational game. Many people want to challenge their geography knowledge, and this app provides the opportunity to do it.

It includes four mini-quizzes in four sections: well-known landmarks, maps of the country, and its flags, and the location of cities. Each of them lasts sixty seconds; it will not take much time. We are to challenge our friends if we hint at our own scores and put them in our account on Google Play.

Four mini-games:

  • The first is to match the flag with the name of the mentioned country. It helps us to learn more flags if we don’t know some of them
  • The second is to guess the country by its border. Three various countries are presented there, however, we are to choose only the right one from the list.
  • The third is to point out the right place for the introduced city. There are one hundred and fifty-two different cities to research.
  • The fourth is to guess the location of the mentioned landmark. The users have to put it in the right area of the map. There are more than one hundred and seven famous landmarks in the app.

After every right answer,  we can watch motivational words and our scores for the round.  To my mind, exactly this app wins because of its animation and design.

Backpacker

The app distinguishes itself from the previous apps; Backpacker is a situational game where your goal is to save money in order to continue traveling around the world.

We have to pass different missions and answer various geography questions. The questions are not simple as they were in the previous apps; there we have long questions with four variants of answers.

It is like Sims where you have money, a level, places where you can go, and other options. Moreover, we are to collect things like passports, job diplomas, and tokens from each city where we can go.

At the end of the day, the users should find some sleeping place for their character: they can splurge in a hotel or sleep in the streets.

If the users don’t have the opportunity to visit another country or move to another city, they can make dreams come true. There are more than fifty cities to visit.

The creators really went all out in the animation and design of the app. It is very vibrant and striking.

To play in the game is a pleasure and an excellent pastime. Backpacker has an educational purpose, but it is a more exciting entertainment.
