We mainly play Sporcle games like "naming all 197 countries". I successfully learned all 197 countries and plan to learn more Geography trivia. On this channel I also play Geoguessr. This is a game that uses Google Street View to drop you in a random location and you have to work out exactly where you are on the worldwide map. Geoguessr was created in 2013.

Good evening, welcome to one hour of me playing daily geography games
0:04
I've gone ahead and found a bunch of new ones that I've never played before
0:08
so I'm really interested to see how this actually goes. But for now, let's get in to the very first one, which, as per tradition, is global
0:18
So, there is a random country, changes each day, and I have to try and work out which country it is by guessing other countries
0:26
So, let's go India to begin with. India. There we go. Okay, India is basically nowhere near at all. So let's head to 8,000
0:37
kilometers. That could get us over here. Let's do USA, somewhere nice and big. There we go
0:43
Still really far away, but about 3,000 kilometers closer. So maybe like Western Africa? Maybe the
0:50
bottom down here, Uruguay? We'll try Western Africa. Let's go with a Guinea and see what
0:56
happens. Okay, serious progress there. So 75 kilometers, so very, very close. Let's do a
1:02
Senegal. Senegal's adjacent. Okay, very, very nice. So that means it's literally next to it
1:08
So it could be the Gambia, which is sort of this little slithery snake. Let's try it. Gambia
1:15
Oh, do you know what? We absolutely nailed that. That might be our best global performance that
1:20
we've ever had. What a start to this video. All right, let's move straight into travel next
1:25
this is latvia to lebanon so i have to say every single country that will connect from here all the
1:32
way to here and we want to try and do as efficiently as possible so from latvia um i guess
1:39
russia is going to do a lot of the work here right let's take a look guess yes so because it's green
1:46
that means it's a perfect guess it's part of the shortest route so that kind of bypasses so much
1:51
of Europe, really. Oh, I hate this angle that I've been shoved at. That's going to throw me off. I
1:55
feel like my head needs to be like this now. So from Russia to Lebanon, hmm. Oh, it's quite tricky
2:02
So we've got like Turkey over here. We've got Israel underneath. I'm trying to think, does Syria
2:08
sort of surround it or is that Jordan? I think it's Syria. This is a very specific part of the
2:14
world that I'm not an expert on. We're going to try it. Yes, Syria is exactly where I thought it
2:19
was surrounding it and I think I think Jordan's underneath but I might be wrong so we're really
2:23
really close here with just two countries so Syria uh the trouble is we've got it we're gonna have
2:31
Azerbaijan Jordan and Armenia and I have still I it keeps causing me problems but I've still not
2:37
learned like where is where of those three and I think they're my key so Syria is that gonna connect
2:44
straight. We're going to do Georgia. We're going to try it and hopefully give us a bit of a clue
2:49
Okay, Georgia's still part of the most efficient. We're all green. Please don't screw this up. Let's
2:54
do an Armenia. Ah, Armenia's orange. So now we'll try Azerbaijan, which is also orange. So I'm going
3:03
the wrong way. Ah, that's annoying. That's really irritating. I like watching them wiggle though
3:07
That's a lot of fun, isn't it? Well, look at Russia's big old wiggle. Fair play for that
3:11
okay so i'm going the wrong way i need to be going more here i was so close uh from syria it was such
3:18
a good start as well does is it iran or iraq i think it might be iran this could be so far far
3:27
off we're gonna try it though yeah i'm just continuously going the wrong way so what is it
3:32
then is it gonna be turkeys here russia it's not gonna be ukraine is it don't tell me it's ukraine
3:41
I've really overcomplicated it. Okay, we're going to give it a try. Oh, but Ukraine's way out of the way
3:47
Okay, right. But that does give me a bit. I think there's ocean here
3:52
Is that what's happening? Yeah, there's ocean here. That's what's causing me all these problems, right
3:57
Oh, no. We're on one last guess. I'm normally pretty good at travel
4:01
I've screwed it today. Lebanon, Syria. I can't think what would connect
4:09
Lebanon, Syria, Iran. I'm just gonna go inefficient and I think Jordan is what will connect these two oh no
4:17
Jordan Syria Iran I actually don't know how to get there let's have a country outline reveal
4:27
it was Turkey I said Turkey was over here oh my god so this is the ocean that I'm trying to avoid
4:35
okay wow we really really over complicated that that was diabolical that was my worst performance
4:43
by far i'm in the top 89 percent yeah i'm really bad there i could have done that in one two three
4:53
four it was possible in four and we we kind of did it in 10 without with a bit of cheating at the end
5:00
yeah, it's the angle. This angle is what totally threw me off. It curved the earth round and I was
5:06
visualizing Turkey in the wrong spot. Okay, either way, I had a lot of fun. We're now doing flaggle
5:11
We'll get this one out of the way because there is no dark mode available, so we'll do it nice and
5:15
early. So let's go for Honduras. It just popped into my head. I don't even know why. Okay, so I've
5:23
guessed Honduras and what it does is it shows me the colors in the flag that are actually correct
5:28
So basically it's meaning that my flag does have white in this section
5:34
And also it's basically giving us a pretty clear crest or emblem of what the correct answer is
5:41
But do I immediately recognize that? Not really. I'm going to try an Ecuador because Ecuador, it does look similar to it
5:50
Even though there wouldn't be white there, right? But I just want to... Oh, don't give up
5:55
No, no, guess. Okay, here's the Ecuador flag. So you can see why I guessed it, because it just is sort of reminiscent
6:02
Hmm. This is interesting, actually. So there is some colours. We've got a bit of that blue there
6:11
Oh, this is weird, actually. Oh, I feel like that's quite obvious
6:16
Am I just being stupid? Have we lost all of our brain cells today
6:20
Let's drop a... We're going to drop a United Kingdom, just because..
6:26
It's going to be like a territory or something, isn't it? It's going to be a territory that I don't know
6:31
Okay, so yeah, there is basically white in the top half. Is that what we're establishing
6:37
Yes, it is. So there's white all along the top. Is it San Marino
6:44
I think it might be San Marino. Let's try it. Yeah, there we go
6:48
That's weird, that. In my head, the San Marino flag was, the emblem was smaller
6:52
but I think I was maybe getting that and Liechtenstein a little bit mixed up because I think
6:58
a lot of people would have got that after two so not my best performance there but at least we did
7:04
get it in four which isn't too bad to be fair is it so now we move on to worldal so we are given a
7:09
country outline and it feels really familiar this one but I don't actually recognize it which is a
7:16
bit of a problem, isn't it? Hmm, what do we want to do here? Let's try. Let's see if we
7:23
scroll through them Does anything actually come to mind It not in Europe We know that I trying to think where it could be It got to be it not Europe It not South America I don think It probably not Oceania because we
7:37
got a big border up here. So it's probably somewhere small that I've not noticed the
7:45
shape of before. You know, like a Timor-Leste, for example. Let's just try that and see what happens
7:50
okay so it is nowhere near timor leste it's literally 15 000 kilometers away by the way so
7:58
a really long way and i guess that must take us to africa somewhere so let's assume maybe it's
8:07
western africa with this kind of angle that we've got so we're going to try a guinea and see if we're
8:13
much, much closer. Yeah, we're 96% of the way there, so 600 kilometers is still a decent
8:19
chunk though, so I need to do Liberia, let's try it. Now, I think this is a tricky one
8:26
that's the problem, 95%, so it's higher than Liberia, so we're basically in the right area
8:32
it's definitely Western Africa, so I'm a bit confused though, because Guinea is still
8:39
600 kilometers away, but maybe that's not far. It's not that far, is it? Working our way up
8:45
What are our options? We have a Sierra Leone. Maybe, yeah. We have a Guinea-Bissau
8:54
And Guinea-Bissau isn't next to Guinea. I know it's not Senegal, and I know it's not the Gambia
8:58
because we'd recognize the shape. So I've got to try just the two that I can only think of
9:03
which is Guinea-Bissau. Let's go for it. Yeah, we used our detective skills on that one. I'll
9:09
take that. That is a big, big mouth of a river that is visible there. Look at that. Okay, let's
9:16
go into the next round. Can you guess the two neighbours of Guinea-Missau? Surely I can. I
9:21
might have just named them. That is Senegal. I can definitely do that one. There you go. And that
9:29
is it Guinea? Or is that Liberia? I don't think it is Liberia. Is it Burkina Faso? We'll give it a go
9:35
we'll give it a go ah i don't i feel like guinea isn't next to guinea basal but i might be wrong
9:43
let's try it it is it is okay it is so it always throws me off when it says that the country that
9:50
we border is 600 kilometers away still i don't quite get that can you name the capital city of
9:55
guinea basal literally no chance oh it was just basal it was just basal can you guess where basal
10:01
is in Guinea-Bissau. We're actually learning some stuff right now. So, I feel like this would be a
10:08
really good place for a city, you know, because you're going to have a lot of ships being able to
10:12
come into this area. So, yeah, there we go. Very nice, very nice. Ooh, this is a little bit of a
10:18
teaser for another orientation game that I found. What direction is Conakry from Bissau
10:26
no idea let's go that direction well that was pretty far off okay fair enough how far is it
10:35
hmm don't know let's say 350 ah we're actually really accurate there okay we're gonna leave that
10:43
there and let's move on to flagged so this one never played before don't really know what to
10:48
expect it could be really easy it might be like unbelievably difficult we will find out will you
10:53
find today's country? I certainly hope so. Ooh. Okay. So is it bits of flags? Ooh, and I can
10:59
enlarge them. Right. Well, with this color scheme, I'm going to try Vatican city to begin with. I'm
11:05
wrong. Oh, is it Egypt? Is it Egypt? Let's try Egypt. Ah, too easy for us. I've got an hour to
11:13
fill. I can't be this good. I need to start screwing up again. Okay. Okay. That was, well
11:18
there we go it goes let's move on to flaggle so there's so many flag based daily wordle-esque
11:24
games out there i found a website that has so many that i've not done before so this is quite
11:30
similar to the last one to begin with we just name a random flag so let's go cambodia
11:35
okay so it is that way from cambodia which is interesting i don't recognize that at all
11:45
so does that mean it's going to be in Oshania somewhere hmm this is a really strange fragment
11:51
this might be a territory that I don't know so we could be in a lot of trouble let's try American
11:55
Samoa just to as a big play oh my god what is I've never seen this flag in my life so I don't
12:03
think we're gonna get it um let's just try and name territories that we do know are down there
12:09
Guam that's not what the Guam no Guam doesn't look like that it would be a waste
12:15
what I'll do is I'll have a little it's a little bit of a cheat
12:18
I'm going to have a scroll and I'm going to see if I recognize any that might be in that part
12:22
of the earth British Virgin Islands for example is over in the Caribbean
12:27
British Indian Territory would be the wrong way from Cambodia and it's really close to American Samoa 700km 96% ooh
12:40
yeah I just won't have heard of it is the trouble Oh, there's so many crazy places
12:45
Bouvette Island, I think, is in the Atlantic rather than the Pacific, but I might be wrong there
12:50
Maybe we should try it. Let's go for it. Ooh, so it's a French territory
12:58
Bouvette Island, yeah, it is nowhere near. So what French territories do I know
13:02
I know Reunion, but I think that's a totally wrong place as well, but I'm going to go for it anyway
13:08
Yeah, I have never seen this in my life, so we just need one more
13:12
and then we'll give up. Caribbean Netherlands. Let's try and find one that might sound right
13:18
Cook Islands. I think that's probably in the Caribbean area as well
13:25
Falkland Islands wouldn't work. Faroe Islands, no. Guadalupe. Guadalupe. Guadalupe. Guadalupe. Guadalupe. Is that the same place? I don't know
13:39
Heard Island and McDonald Island. That sounds British, but it probably isn't actually
13:44
But we'll keep scrolling. We'll keep scrolling. Do you know what? We're going to lock it in because I just have no idea
13:50
Let's get the actual answer revealed. Where was it? It was. Hello
13:56
Oh, I have to guess again. Okay, that's fine. Let's go with
14:04
I want one that might actually give us a chance, you know. So we need to scroll past these countries
14:08
We need just French-sounding territories. And we could have something that says island on the back
14:14
I know it's not new, noi, because that's yellow. North Korea, no
14:21
Northern Mariana Islands. Ah, we'll go for it. It was Wallace and Fortuna
14:29
I have never heard of that. That's a really strange flag. It looks like a Dolby Acrobat logo
14:35
That does not look like a real flag. I'm sure they've made that place up Wallace Wallace and Fortuna never in my life have I heard that all right
14:43
This is geo grid Which I I'll be honest going into this. I'm not great at geo grid, but we're gonna give it a go regardless
14:52
so flag with five plus colors and drives on the left Okay few few few few few we gonna at least have one south africa please yes there you go now you get more points the more obscure the country that is
15:07
that you name so i'm just trying to get points to be honest protected waters under 20 percent
15:13
so i don't necessarily know what that means under specific percentage of total territorial waters
15:19
is marine protected. Okay, okay, that makes sense then. And a flag with five plus colors. So
15:26
somewhere with five plus colors with not much protection. I don't even know how many flags I
15:32
can name with five plus colors. Would Ecuador work? Let's give it a try. Ooh, it does work
15:43
and that's a really good one. Only 2.8% of people have guessed that, so that's really delightful
15:48
We turn on unlimited guesses. We will we will we will how many do we get it left
15:52
We'll see how we get on and if it's looking if it's looking bad we'll turn on unlimited member of the Commonwealth flag with five plus colors, so
16:00
Unite Kingdom no Australia no Yeah, we basically need something a bit jazzier from like probably the Caribbean so Trina and Sbeg all wouldn't work
16:11
Five plus colors is difficult. I'm trying I can't even visualize we need like a lot of maybe African countries
16:17
would say otome in principe work we're gonna try it no it doesn't oh and i lose a guess okay we'll
16:24
leave it for now name consists of multiple words protected waters under 20 percent okay so
16:32
i wonder how many how much protected waters north korea has we're gonna try it north korea doesn't
16:42
have any data. Ah, so it's invalid. Okay. But it might be correct. It might be correct. Okay
16:48
Under 20% protection on their water. God, this is niche. This is a very niche quiz we are doing
16:56
right now. Japan's surely got loads of protection. I'm trying to just work my way around the coast
17:00
Thailand? Should we try Thailand? Ah, it's wrong. Okay. Unlimited guesses are coming on. Area less
17:08
than five million kilometers squared. Protected water is under 20%. You ready for this? Bosnia
17:16
Ooh, 1.2% of people. I just thought they've got like an outrageously small coastline. So of that
17:23
they probably don't have much water protection. So I think I've done, I've done pretty cracking
17:28
there on that one. I'm pretty pleased with that. Area less than five million and drives on the left
17:33
now five million is pretty massive so we basically just need any ex-british colony
17:40
um we'll try uganda does uganda drive on the left i think it does yes we are getting rarer and rarer
17:50
0.7 of people said uganda we're actually doing well maybe i want to oh i can't turn unlimited
17:58
guesses back off now because i've already actually ah that's a shame okay member of the commonwealth
18:03
and an area with less than 5 million kilometers squared. Well, that's..
18:10
We could just go so many places. We're going to do Trinidad and Tobago. 1% of people have said that
18:16
We're actually doing quite nicely. Name consists of multiple words and member of the Commonwealth
18:22
Antigua and Barbuda. 4.2%. Hmm, a bit higher there, but still very rare
18:28
Drives on the left. I'm guessing I can't say ones I've already said
18:33
um name consists of multiple words and i drive on the left so we could just do south africa but
18:41
i want somewhere a little bit easy a little bit harder oh we've already used south africa anyway
18:46
so maybe tanzanian no we can't do hmm maybe it's actually quite tricky i can't think of anywhere
18:57
okay okay i'll have to try another caribbean place maybe do you think they drive on the left
19:05
let's try saint kits and nevis oh it doesn't come up saint lucia then saint lucia yes we're gonna
19:15
try it oh 1.7 percent of people and doesn't it look beautiful in the middle protected waters
19:20
under 20 percent maybe we could just go back to caribbean let's do saint kits and nevis this time
19:27
oh my god we could actually do it for the first time ever flag with five plus colors
19:34
member of the commonwealth okay i think we need to follow the the caribbean theme surely surely there's a colorful
19:46
caribbean country out there i don't know though i'm gonna try more zambique uh i can't visualize
19:53
it oh my god we did it we've beaten 42 percent of players we also smashed it we got pretty good
20:00
scores there i should have done the the ununlimited guesses oh i'm really happy with that
20:07
uganda is interesting as the lowest one there look at us look at that score distribution some
20:12
people absolutely smashed it though to be fair respect for that but we're in the upper 40 so
20:17
i'll take it next up we are doing some hiero lore this is guess which country has more neighboring
20:22
countries, so it's about country borders, so Uzbekistan and Georgia, Uzbekistan's got more
20:29
yeah, there we go, five to four, oh, it's very close, I jumped into that with far too much
20:32
confidence, Venezuela or Uzbekistan, I think it's similar again, I think Venezuela's maybe four
20:38
though, oh, it's three, okay, we're still doing fine, next up, Syria, oh, yeah, oh, look at us go
20:49
This is magical. This is absolutely magical. Djibouti, Syria. It's getting close though
20:55
It's getting close. A little bit of panic here. Brunei, Djibouti. Yeah, Brunei is only bordered by..
21:03
I want to say Indonesia, but do not quote me on that. Avri Coast is going to be higher at five
21:09
Come on, let's go. Let's get straight to 10 on our first one. Ecuador, probably like three or
21:15
four, so we'll go every coast. It's just two. Positioning-wise, I can see that, actually
21:21
Greece is... It's probably not that much more than two, but I think it is more than two
21:26
It's double, so I can't think where they'd be. Germany's an easy one. That's nine
21:33
Oh, look at us go. Ethiopia is pretty large, but it also does have pretty large countries
21:39
surrounding it. Oh, it's not beating nine, though, is it? Even if it's like six, yeah
21:43
it is six okay we've made it to double figures on our first one i'm very happy with that canada
21:47
famously only borders the united states oh although i think they've recently now officially bordered
21:55
uh russia due to like them sharing an island or something is that a recent change azerbaijan
22:01
is going to be out two for five quite high higher than i would have expected actually
22:05
hong kong is only going to border one that would be china i know that right we're now trying to get
22:11
to 20. And I think we can possibly do it because we're in the zone today
22:17
Western Sahara isn't beating 5. It's getting close though. It's a bit scary, isn't it
22:24
Armenia. Armenia tricky I think it could be three Phew Phew phew phew Okay Mali It big Mali big
22:36
Mali's going to board her at least five. Board her seven. Look at us go. Guyana. It's not beating seven
22:44
No chance. No chance, Guyana. Get out of here. Czech Republic. Yes. Four
22:52
Mm-hmm. Okay, this is for 20. Guinea-Bissau. That's tricky. So it's going to border Guinea
23:01
We know this. It only borders two. We learned it earlier in the video. Yeah, it borders Senegal and Guinea
23:08
Okay, Eritrea. See, I don't think... I think Eritrea is maybe a three
23:12
We're going to go for it. Look at us go. We're on 21
23:16
Ireland only borders one. Mm-hmm. Next one. Cambodia is surrounded. Yeah, that's easy actually because it's versus one
23:27
Right, can we get to 30? If we get to 30, I'll come back to the game later in the video
23:32
Peru borders. Oh, this is a tough one. Peru is going to border probably Ecuador
23:41
Chile. And then that might be it, but it could be Brazil as well
23:48
I think they bought a four. It could be two though. They bought a five
23:55
Wow. Interesting. Okay. Yeah, I guess they're long, aren't they? And there's a lot of countries kind of poking into each other around there
24:03
Ukraine is in Europe. A very dense country area. And it's big as well
24:11
It's definitely going to border Russia. Belarus. Estonia, I think. Maybe the other way around
24:21
Yeah. Oh. Seven. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Myanmar
24:29
Let's see. It's not beating seven. Five's high, though. It's not beating seven
24:35
Right. Mozambique. Oh, let's say that's six. Yes. We're doing pretty good at this
24:43
I'm quite impressed with myself. San Marino's one. So remember, if we get to 30, which we're
24:48
very close to, I'll be coming back to Mexico. 29. Easy. Cyprus. What's Cyprus going to border
24:57
Are they counting territories? Maybe they are, which I think would put it to two. But Mexico's
25:02
still fine. Just the one, just the one. Okay, we've made it to 30, which I'm pretty proud of
25:08
to be fair. So let's move on and we'll come back to it later in this video. Contrial. Just like
25:13
all the others. You name a country, but it gives you clues in order to help narrow it down. So
25:20
Democratic Republic of the Congo, a bold beginning. So, Democratic Republic of the Congo is in the
25:27
southern hemisphere, which this country, the mystery country, is not. It's also not in Africa
25:32
It's also colder, less populated, and to the east. So, Democratic Republic of the Congo is
25:36
about here. So to the east is anywhere over here. So yeah, we could just drop in Australia
25:45
couldn't we at this point? That would work for all of these. Oh no, it wouldn't. I need to go
25:51
northern hemisphere, of course. Okay. And yeah, it's pointing me north now, which makes sense
25:55
but that's good because there's no point in me northeast, northwest. So and also it's colder
26:03
and more populated. So I might try a Japan. Japan might have over 100 million people
26:10
We will find out. Okay, so it's definitely in Asia, which we've kind of already deduced
26:15
It is west of Japan. It's around the same temperature, and Japan does have a higher population than I was thinking
26:21
I thought they probably had over 100 million. So, we could go..
26:29
Should we just stay close because of the temperature thing? we'll do a South Korea
26:35
South Korea, would they have less than 92 million? Maybe we'll try North Korea
26:41
before South Korea. Let's go for it. Okay. Temperature in North Korea
26:47
is actually much colder than I thought. More populated. We went... No, that actually still would have been fine
26:54
Okay, this is interesting. So we've gone west of Japan, but we've gone south from North Korea
26:59
i mean i i have to try south korea then don't i just in case ah we screwed it we could have had
27:07
it in one less it was kind it was pointing to us it was right there but that's good we got that one
27:12
pretty quick there i'm pretty happy with that i was guessing in five very nice it shows us all of
27:18
the previous countries that we've successfully guessed as well that's the best we've ever done
27:23
All right, we're moving back on to another grid. This is flagdoku. Flagdoku. That is surprisingly
27:30
weird to say out loud. Flagdoku. It's because Sudoku just really sort of leans into itself
27:36
whereas flagdoku, the G and the D do not want to get along. Anyway, has a circle and no green
27:42
Three or more stars, four colors. Africa. Okay, let's do what's hopefully easiest. So Africa
27:48
and four colors so not four more specifically four hmm so i would be tempted by a mauritius
27:58
but that might be five colors we're gonna try it but no we can even see it yeah mauritius is
28:05
a nice start there okay uh three or more stars in africa and has a circle in africa
28:14
so three or more stars is that could that be burundi i think it could be yeah that's a perfect
28:23
one look at that three stars right on the bat has a circle in africa now i'm gonna i'm it does show
28:28
us all the flags when we start typing them so i'm i'm not gonna really do that because it feels a
28:32
bit cheaty to me has a circle in africa there's so many easy answers here niger here we go here we
28:39
go. Yeah, beautiful. Ah, very nice. Okay, so a lot of green on these. So now we need ones that aren't
28:45
green, and they can be anywhere. So three or more stars, no green. China's a pretty easy one
28:52
I'm not trying to be obscure here. I'm just trying to complete this one. Four colors and no green
29:02
Four colors is quite a few to not have green, you know, one of the big dogs really, isn't it
29:06
so south africa wouldn't work of course four colors united kingdom's gonna have three
29:16
four colors is hard three colors is ridiculously easy we'll come back to it
29:20
red band see i don't even know what that means what's red band what do they mean by that
29:27
like a bit of red just just anything that has a bit of red in it
29:32
And the circle. I'm actually struggling now. So, like, Lithuania would have a red band
29:39
I guess Austria would have a red band, but they wouldn't have circles. I guess I generally maybe need to be out of Europe
29:45
because of the circles and the stars. It's less common anyway. Has a circle, no green
29:54
Japan, that's an easy one. There it is. Yep. Four colours, none of which are green
30:02
That's a bit trickier. United States, Mexico, no. Brazil. There's a lot of green kicking about right now in my brain
30:13
Okay, we'll come back to it. Red band. Oh, I'm stuck. Red band, three stars
30:21
So, I've had China already, but... Ooh. Whoa, it really gives you anything
30:28
Okay, wow, there are some obscure answers that you could potentially have. Ah, and I can turn the cheating off as well, so that's handy
30:34
Okay, I think I might be stuck here, and I don't want to just sort of sit and dawdle for ages
30:40
so I might have to abandon it. No green, four colours. There's got to be one, there's got to be one
30:49
No green, four colours. Just work my way around, I need to start visualising things, so..
30:56
North Korea. North Korea actually. Mongolia might be an answer for this one
31:02
Mongolia. Let's try it. It is an answer. So there's the red band
31:08
And I knew there was a circle. Okay, we're getting there. We're getting there. Four colours and no green
31:16
Thailand? Thailand would work, wouldn't it? Let's try it. Ah! One, two, three
31:24
Ah, it's three colours. But because of the way the white and the red split up, I was visualizing it as four
31:28
Okay, we got one wrong. So let's leave that there. And let's head over to Capitalabrate
31:35
They're kind of clutching at straws a little bit for some of these names. This is an interesting one
31:39
I've never played it before. But like I said, it reminds me of what we did earlier. I think it might be made by the same people
31:44
So we are in Vienna. And we have to try and get to Portugal. So I simply have to determine which way I need to travel
31:52
so i think that's cool we can get very particular about it though can't we so i think that's quite
31:58
an easy one but we do a five rounds so if we think that vienna's about here in austria portugal's
32:05
going to be like this or i think maybe just down a little bit yeah how do i lock it in do i have to
32:13
do it all first oh yeah the distance as well wow how many miles is the shortest glory from vienna
32:17
to Lisbon. Now, this is where I'm going to be nowhere close at all. Let's change to kilometers
32:26
I could be so off. We're going to go with that. Okay. Oh, we did pretty good. So
32:33
the angle was less intense. That's really interesting. I really thought that I would
32:39
kind of be on that, but at least we have, it gives us a pretty wide margin. and the correct answer was 2.3
32:47
I said 1.194. They said that I'm close enough there, but that doesn't feel that close
32:52
Let's go on the next one. Right, ooh, New Delhi to Moscow. That's going to be..
33:00
Right, well, if we're going off a traditional map, which obviously is not super accurate
33:05
in terms of its projection, I think just that's pretty gradual that can be pretty extreme over a long distance so we'll
33:15
submit that and the distance 4.3 okay they're happy with it they're happy with it oh I love
33:24
the visualization so it shows you where we would have ended up um with the correct distance so the
33:31
green one's correct so I should have gone steeper that's actually really steep oh this is a really
33:36
cool one. Okay, set the bearing from Jakarta to Taipei. Okay, so Jakarta and Taipei. Is it actually
33:46
a little bit that way? No. Yeah? No. I'm gonna leave it there. And the kilometer distance
33:58
Let's just go for it. It's happy again. It's pretty happy. Oh, it was a little bit over
34:03
That's actually pretty close. We were 12 degrees. Look at that. So we would have ended up plonking ourselves into Hong Kong
34:12
What a fool. All right. Amsterdam to Bratislava. That's much, much closer
34:18
So Amsterdam to Bratislava. Maybe about that. It won't be much. And the distance could be..
34:30
Let's just stick it on 1,000. Ooh. Oh my god. We got the correct degrees
34:40
That's unbelievable. And the distance was unbelievably close as well. It's because I've been trying to plan some videos where I'm like traveling to capital
34:49
So I've really been paying attention to this one. Oh, we were super accurate. That's beautiful
34:55
I'm really happy with that. Rome to Pretoria in South Africa. Right, that's much harder
35:01
So it's going to be... I'm really impressed with Capital Liberate. It's a really good one
35:09
Rome to Pretoria. Pretoria, I think, is more this side. Ah, we're going to try that
35:19
And then the distance... Let's go 4,300. It's like the whole length of Africa, basically
35:29
Let's go higher. 4,600. Ooh. Okay. So, I needed to move over even more
35:40
I kind of nearly went straight down. And the distance was even further
35:44
So, that's pretty interesting, that. Because this is how far away we were. But when we visualized that on the map, we only made it to sort of the border of Democrat Republic of Congo
35:53
So, that's really, really interesting. Okay. What was our final score? 2,994
35:59
394 so better than 87 percent of people that played that's pretty good there's a good drop
36:06
off there i'm really impressed with that one i really i really like the game and we did well
36:10
at it as well so that's nice okay i don't even know what this is uh oh this is where you have
36:15
to sort of apparently find a location so i think this is the example so we're given the eiffel
36:21
tower and i have to show where that actually is but we're probably going to be given something a
36:25
bit harder than that. Find this spot. Wow, this is a really good idea. This could probably be its
36:33
own video, couldn't it? This is the kind of thing I should maybe play with Oscar. I think he'd
36:37
probably be much better than I am. I'm going to struggle here, so I'm probably not going to spend
36:43
too long on it because I'm just going to screw it up. This is somewhere that's English speaking
36:48
Ottawa River Pathway. Oh my god, I need to be faster. Okay, well let's find Ottawa
36:55
which is here. We might actually be able to do this now that I've seen Ottawa pathway
37:01
Okay. And then what do I want to do? I need to find a c
37:09
So presumably the c is going to be a long ear somewhere
37:15
So this is really fun. If Oscar hasn't played this, he needs to get on it pronto
37:21
Ottawa river pathway. I just curious like how far in do I need to go oh we so close We so so close I don want to Hang on
37:35
We found it. Oh my god, we've actually found it. So we are digging right there, aren't we
37:42
Dig here. First dig was perfect. Yes. Oh my god, that was really fun, actually
37:50
I mean, yeah, we had a pretty big clue with the word Ottawa River Pathway
37:54
But they're probably all like that to be fair. They probably all have some some clues. That's good
37:59
That's really really fun. I enjoyed that flaggle coming up next. We just love a flaggle
38:03
I think this is the third or fourth flaggle of the video. We can't get enough of them Okay, this one once again, I don't I don't know if i've played this one before let's go
38:12
With a bangladesh, please to begin with Okay, so this one. Ah, there we go
38:18
So, uh, that is just gonna be a togo, right? Tongue. Yeah, togo. Let's guess it
38:26
Yeah, we got it too easy for us Bangladesh was actually a really really useful first one because I had the red and the green in just the perfect spot as well
38:36
Yep smashed through that. Oh, okay map tap tap as close as you can to chicago, illinois
38:42
Okay, chicago, illinois In my head is around here How far can I zoom in? Oh, we can actually start to see
38:51
proper cities and towns there. Ooh. Let's just have a quick look at London while we're here
38:58
Look at that. Oh. Oh, my God. Okay, I may be getting distracted
39:06
Go on, one more time. Let's just zoom into Saudi Arabia. From this distance, there is just nothing going on in Saudi Arabia
39:13
but I think we're just very, very far away. Is that Qatar
39:17
It is Qatar, isn't it? yeah, you cannot, yeah, you can see a little bit of something there, anyway, uh, Illinois
39:26
Chicago, I think it's around here, I don't know though, I'm gonna guess there
39:32
okay, oh my god, I absolutely smashed it, that's a, that's a 100 out of 100
39:39
okay, tap as close as you can to Bath, England, ooh, Bath is actually a place I've been when I was
39:46
much younger and I famously, well when I say famously, probably overzealous in my usage of
39:52
that word, but I can never locate Bath, I always miss it, I'm thinking it might be there
40:00
it's quite big, it's not, maybe it's not that big actually, so London's here
40:05
I went to Bristol and we, on the train, not that long ago, and we went through Bath
40:10
I'm gonna go there, but I don't No, let's go Let's go right there
40:16
Where was it? Over a bit Ah, we've got a bit of an interception
40:22
So it's much more southerly There we go We're still really close though
40:26
Tap as close as you can Oh, we can see the Milky Way Whoa
40:32
Oh my god, that's beautiful Well, we're really out in the thick of it right now
40:40
We really are out there. Wow, that's incredible to visualize. Yeah, I went to La Palma, which is, I think it's this one
40:49
Yes, it's definitely that one. And we got up at 4 a.m. because apparently it's one of these
40:54
It's the second best place in the Northern Hemisphere to see the stars at night
40:59
So we got up at 4 a.m. to go to this viewing platform. And couldn't see too much with the naked eye
41:05
you could see a little bit of a little bit of something but when you took photos with long
41:09
exposure you could visualize this that's the first time i've ever gotten to actually see the the milky
41:14
way like that which was epic uh as close as you can to galway island now i am pretty sure that
41:21
galway is if it's not in it's next to dublin but maybe i'm wrong there maybe i just saw
41:29
yeah I think I am wrong I think I saw like Galway Street or something like that and that's what I'm
41:36
getting mixed up with because I went to Dublin I definitely saw something I definitely saw the
41:40
word Galway but I think Galway maybe is another area I'm not sure though I'm gonna go down here
41:47
ah I don't know if you saw my cursor I was heading over this way I think I've been to
41:54
I possibly have been near Galway before and that's how I got them mixed up there
41:59
because when I went to Ireland, I've been to Ireland twice. I went here in Dublin and then I went here as well
42:05
like this area with some friends. That's annoying. Yeah, I screwed that one
42:11
Bergen, Norway. That's the one where I have no idea. So Norway is this big structure
42:16
which looks epic with this kind of satellite. Wow. What a sort of mad-looking country
42:22
That is so different to what I'm used to, you know? Bergen, Norway
42:27
Oslo is like, I think around here. might be wrong so we're just gonna click there okay it was just over a little bit it was over
42:34
it was over that was really fun i enjoyed that is there any more oh it's as close as you can to the bay of fundi in nova scotia
42:42
no idea so nova scotia is this bit i think so that could be a bay let's go for it
42:54
Nah, other side. I think Nova Scotia is actually maybe just this bit here, but don't quote me on that
43:03
Oh, we got some applause because we got 949 out of 1,000, which is pretty strong
43:09
And then you get a lot of info as well, which is quite sweet. Big fan of that. Like that a lot
43:12
My Illinois, Chicago. Pretty impressed with myself there. I'm really quite happy with that
43:18
Ooh, time guesser. Go on then. What we got? Let's have a go. Let's see what happens
43:22
uh okay you united states flag i'm also gonna speed run this a little bit so i think i have to
43:30
assume this is world war ii and the united states getting involved now did they really
43:36
do that much inside of europe probably i mean this could be so many things it could be vietnam war
43:44
yeah i don't know but i'm going to maybe i should go vietnam war but i don't know when the vietnam
43:52
war was what would they be putting a flag up for trying to look at the actual terrain yeah i have
44:00
no idea on this let's not overthink it we're gonna go vietnam war and i guess that means i
44:05
have to go in vietnam somewhere um and i don't know when the vietnam war was either i think
44:11
i think it was maybe early 60s make guess let's see what happens yeah i over complicated it it was
44:17
1945, end of World War II, and it was where? Raising the
44:24
US flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iujima in the final stages
44:30
of the Pacific War. Hmm, Pacific War. Okay, yep, pretty bad score from
44:36
me there. Next up, Tsuyumi Salama. Hmm, so that's kind of, it sounds quite
44:44
Asian, but nobody here looks Asian. In terms of year, we could maybe get that reasonably accurate
44:53
It looks like a late 50s maybe would you say 1958 I say that maybe reasonable We could maybe go a bit earlier 1955 we go in the middle siomi salama i no idea on um figura siomi salama trying to look at the
45:15
people they just they look i mean everyone looks very caucasian and they look english speaking
45:22
but maybe that's totally off. Oh, I can zoom. I always forget that I can zoom on this
45:30
Oh, we do get more clues when you zoom in. Now, this has got to be Europe, hasn't it
45:38
Because we're seeing all these languages that we don't understand. Right, we'll go Europe
45:45
Doesn't seem German. See you, me, Salma. See you, me, Salma. Yeah, they could look Italian
45:55
We'll go Rome in 1955. Make guess. Ah, where? Ooh, top of Finland
46:01
Yeah, I mean, I am famously terrible at Finnish. And it's actually early 70s, so we're playing pretty bad here
46:08
Normally, I play quite nicely at this. Hey, Mike. We've ordered tons of stuff
46:14
You might want to put a fresh coat on before you move in. on to the other washington so it's like some kind of political campaign we have to assume
46:28
peace plan yes we have to assume it's like a protest or something in washington it literally
46:34
says washington right there so we're going to zoom in on washington we'll go about there
46:40
We'll go to the capital. And the people... So I was 17 years off on that previous one
46:51
These guys look... It looks 70s this time. Maybe 80s. I think it looks 80s
47:00
Let's go 83 and just drop the guess. It's 88. and it was over the other side
47:11
Democratic presidential candidate Michael speaking to a crowd during an afternoon campaign rally at Seattle
47:18
That's unfortunate, isn't it? But to be fair, on to the other Washington
47:25
So this is the Washington they're on about, Seattle, Washington State. And they're complaining about Washington, D.C
47:34
Five years off is okay, though. Round number four, five. Right, much older
47:40
That looks like a US sign. We could potentially try and find a 23
47:44
Do the roads show up on this? We've got a 27. Which puts us out there
47:51
I'm only spending a moment on this. But we'll have a look. Just in case something shouts out to us
47:59
36. yeah i don't see it i don't see it i don't see it that would have if i could be bothered
48:08
to really commit to this i would but a lot of people skip forward in these videos when it
48:13
comes to time guesser for some reason so i'm not going to yeah uh i guess yeah let's go chicago
48:20
illinois because we love chicago these days and we're gonna go we're gonna have to go pretty early
48:29
he could be military maybe not though liquor food hotel 1930s 1938
48:41
37 make the guess three years off it's 1940 and we're actually
48:47
quite close it was over in Ohio okay we saved it a bit there
48:55
and then our final one we have a suspicious flag there it's an Irish flag
49:01
shirt collar maker out of there another old picture Catholic truth of Ireland
49:09
it says Ireland right there so we know it's Ireland we have to probably go with Dublin
49:15
there we go and the year ooh pretty long time ago
49:25
late 40s yeah trying to stay out of world war ii we're gonna go 47 24 years off oh he's 23
49:38
yeah i think that's my error definitely yeah 100 that's older crowds in dublin gather to protest
49:45
the anglo-irish treaty uh but at least we did get dublin so our final score today was 22 000 out of
49:52
50. That's the worst I've had there, I think. Yeah, that wasn't great. Guess the country. This is map
49:58
game. We played this in the last one. People seem to enjoy it, and it's quite jazzy looking as well
50:02
which I like. Okay, the capital is not the largest city, so do I type? What happens? Oh, no, I click
50:10
Okay, Australia. It's in South America. Oh, God. Brazil. The capital's name starts with S
50:19
oh no so brazilia um yeah i can't do this under pressure um
50:27
caracas maybe quito or something s let's try surinam the flag the country has red in it
50:41
okay so peru but that would be it will be peru oh because of the santiago the country's flag has
50:48
a court of arms. So it could be Ecuador, Colombia. It could be a lot of them
50:57
It won't be Argentina or Uruguay. Maybe they... I don't know if the
51:00
suns count or not. It's definitely not Chile. So let's try Ecuador
51:11
It's west of Angola, which is over here. That's really not that helpful
51:16
but I guess it's randomized. Guyana doesn't have a court of arms
51:23
Colombia doesn't have a court of arms. Venezuela, I can't think right now
51:28
I'm going to click it. The country's symbol is BS. So it's got to be Bolivia then
51:34
Okay, wow, that was tricky. I think I probably should have got that way better, way faster
51:40
What's the capital of Bolivia? I do know this. La Paz. The capital's name starts with S
51:51
Hmm. Okay, let me know in the comments, because I'm sure I'm the one being stupid
51:55
Guess the landmark. This is landmark-t-d. Apparently, this is the easy one, but I don't know it
52:03
So, we'll go to the White House, just because it's white. Okay, but I keep zooming it out, at least
52:09
This is the kind of thing I'm not good at. I don't really know my landmarks. um is the vatican does that get to be something yep sure still not getting it a little embarrassing
52:24
now perhaps is it somewhere in greece yeah oh no come on let try it uh i still don know it let give it what was the answer where was it hint is rome
52:39
oh well i just don't know it um let's try this one okay well we didn't nail that it was the
52:50
pantheon pantheon i have heard of that before okay well that wasn't my proudest landmarks
52:56
performance let's uh let's play the next one shall we yeah yeah yeah this is geodal guess
53:02
which country i'm thinking of there's seven left let's go algeria okay so this is pretty close to
53:07
country but you get some side different stuff so we have the religion so algeria's religion is islam
53:14
so this will be something different, less populated, and it's not in Africa. Government
53:19
it is a republic. Let's go somewhere in Europe, landlocked as well. Actually, let's go just
53:26
somewhere landlocked, Kazakhstan, and we'll see what happens. Okay, Kazakhstan also has a religion
53:33
Islam, which I actually didn't realize. Okay, but it is landlocked. No, it's... Wait, I see what's
53:40
happening. Yep, I was looking at the wrong one. Okay, I was wrong then. It's coastal. It's somewhere
53:45
with a coast. So that was a waste of a guess. Let's try somewhere less populated. This is going
53:52
to be tricky. Yeah, we will go to Europe in that case. Let's just do a Croatia. See what people
53:58
think of that. Oh, we're very close. Okay, Christian religion. Average temperature is a bit hotter
54:05
population's a bit lower than 3.8 million so it's not a big place this at all
54:12
i'm just gonna go bosnia because it's nearby okay population lower still we keep going um and this is confusing because it says landlocked and
54:27
it's green so i keep thinking okay so it is landlocked but let's no it's coastal bosnia
54:34
has a federal republic did not know that also don't know what that means uh let's go and i didn't
54:41
bosnia has islamic as its primary religion as well rather than christianity we are learning so much
54:48
here so less populated let's drop an albania because that's two million oh we only got two
54:56
guesses left and we're not getting there what what i really strew not having is the like directions
55:01
of where it is compared to the place you've guessed, because that's kind of as you've seen

where most of my knowledge is, so when I'm actually just having to know things about the countries
55:10
I'm in a lot of trouble, what is this place, it's so, we need Christians, so let's go
55:17
no, because it can't be Vatican, because it's landlocked, it's San Marino, no, okay, where can we go then, it's lower than two million, Moldova
55:29
Is that... No, it's too populated. This is really difficult. Lower than 2.3 million
55:39
So let's just try Monaco. I guess. No, because the government's wrong
55:45
Okay, we'll try Montenegro. I'm feeling good about that. We are so close
55:51
Everything is correct. The population's about that. The religion's correct, but the government is now wrong
55:59
so we're just gonna stay in that area north macedonia here we go we ran out of guesses it
56:08
was malta that was tricky lots of people would have been able to get that but guess what i am
56:13
not one of those people border guesser okay once again never played this i've opened the tab and
56:19
that's it hold draw to reveal a country's border guess the country as early as possible play through
56:25

56:33
Alright. Okay. See, I don't know all my countries. Wait. You ready
56:42

56:51
Wait for it. Go on. Oh, we've run out. And I don't know it
57:03
Yeah. Well, what happens if I just don't know it? What happens here
57:12
What do we do? Oh, it draws more. It draws more. It pauses it at 50%
57:16
I see. Okay. It's pausing it again at 75%. I think I do know it
57:23
Cameroon. Yes. Okay, next one, next one. Hold the draw button. Right, we're off
57:32
That's United Kingdom. That's an easy one, 26%. Next one, next one
57:41
Okay. A lot of wiggles. Oh, I recognize it. I really recognize it
57:48
Oh, maybe I don't. I want to say Iceland, but it's not Iceland
57:54
I'm not even going to try it. Let's keep going. Give me more, please
57:58
I need more. Ooh, where is this? Is it? It's not Poland, is it
58:08
It won't let me type it. Okay, I need more. Am I not going to get this one
58:19
Oh, I recognize it, but I don't know it. So what happens
58:23
I don't know it Okay, I don't know what this one is sadly
58:28
So I guess that's as far as we can go. You'll have to let me know in the comments. Who was I missing
58:33
Somehow I found another flag quiz flag dull So I just I think do I just say what the country at the top is because that's bhutan. So
58:43
Yep, there we go. That was Possibly too easy that one and now our final quiz of the video. This is tradle
58:52
So this is what their trade, no, what their country exports are
58:58
Guess which country exports these products. Total, 22 billion. So mainly it is cocoa beans
59:06
No, actually mainly it's gold as their primary export. So this is going to be somewhere like South America or Africa probably
59:14
Because they've got cocoa beans, rubber, petroleum, gold, coconut, Brazil nuts. yeah a lot of kind of classic there's bananas sneaking in so we're gonna try
59:25
brazil just off the bat let's just see okay brazil 5 000 kilometers away so i guess does
59:34
that take us to northern africa i guess maybe that makes sense with the gold so let's go for
59:40
oh i don't know i'm gonna try nigeria but maybe that's stupid let's just try it and see if we're
59:46
to get into the right ballpark. Yeah, we're much closer. So it's Western Africa, 92% of the way
59:55
Should we try Ghana? This is very interesting. Ghana's so close. 97 percent so we're really in the right territory i wish i hadn't done brazil first it was just
1:00:06
because it literally says brazil nuts but this is very interesting to see isn't it passenger and
1:00:11
cargo ships that makes an appearance palm oil and then you can see like tiny tiny things paper
1:00:18
containers other printed materials oh and then what are all these surveying equipment
1:00:24
thermostats that that accounts for 0.0 11 that's crazy musical instruments oh wow okay so let's try ivory coast let's go for it guess did we get it we got it we got it
