Take The Traveler IQ Challenge

Travelpod provides the Traveler IQ Challenge, which is an interesting little interactive quiz to test "how well do you know your world".

Select a quiz from a number of categories including:
*The World, *North America, *Europe, *World Capitals, *Canada, *Asia, *UNESCO Sites, *Africa, *Latin America, *Oceania/Australasia, *Flags of the World, *Photos of the World, *USA Challenge or *Amazing Race

During the quiz, the question pops up and you must click as close as possible to the location on the map. Your score increases based on the speed and accuracy of your response. To progress onto the next level, in the world quiz, you must reach a certain score so you can't just click anywhere!!

A great little resource for geography or tourism students.

The Traveler IQ challenge ranks geographic knowledge of cities such as: San Jose Del Cabo, Mazatlan or Boston by comparing results against 5,888,795 other travelers. Brought to you by TravelPod, a TripAdvisor Media Network member
