I think your game is very accurate and fun! I have played it many times, but now I know where evrything is in a heatbeat. Maybe you could create a new map from a different time period instead?

That's a good idea, I think I have a good map already (coloured the way you suggests) but before the game can be created I need to do some research regarding the names.

This is a suggestion. I see that this game has two purposes: 1. the extent of colonialism in 1914 and 2. what were the countries in Africa involved in colonialization even though it doesn't ask me for their names. If the map was shaded to represent the extent of British colonialism in red, French in blue, Italian in yellow, Spanish in green, Portuguese in brown and German in grey one would immediately gain that knowledge. The game could then ask different countries by name: Northern Rhodesia, Dahomey, Cote D'Ivor, Eritrea, etc. The names would add a third dimension of the recall of the 1914 name for Namibia, etc. This would also eliminate the problem of all the dots lighting up after three wrongs. When I looked under "Africa" I didn't see a game asking for the older name of the country.

Yep, good game but the image could have been better I think.

Only complaint I have is the color. It hurts the eyes after a while.

Thank you Lisa.

I got the idea with multiple dots with the same clue from game #945 (created by RonaldDerGrosse)
