I made my own Costa Rican map quiz, focused on National Parks, but it's kind of complex too and I'm the only one who has played it... I think anyone who enjoys this one might like learning mine too:

Very nice game, it's confusing at times to jump from one map to the other, but that makes it a bigger challenge, I like it!
