Nice game! I like the interactive map, played around with it for a while. Pity that my favourite places (in Europe) have nothing more to offer than antidotes amidst the (South) Pacific Ocean though.

Thanks, Wentu.
It took me a couple of tries to get it right, even though I made it. I wanted to go to the named place, not its antipode.
And of course, I threw in a few that were close enough to make it difficult...

Equestenebrarum:
Thanks for the comment. In the U.S., nearly all our antipodes are in the Indian Ocean. (Except for Hawaii and Alaska...)
