Okay, Facebook can be addictive all by itself…but then it goes on and adds games like Geo Challenge to fuel that addiction.

The newest game from Playfish, Geo Challenge consists of four challenges that test your knowledge (or memory) of country flags, country shapes, city locations, and landmark locations. The game is played just like you’re traveling and trying to get to a destination. I love the little baggage claim conveyor belt on the country flag challenge.




It’s also a great learning tool. Before this game, I never knew what the flag for Marshall Islands looked like or where Ayers Rock was located. Also, I swore Calcutta was in Italy not India. But now, thanks to Geo Challenge, I’m much more worldly. It’s also a cool way to get travel ideas… Singapore here I come!

Once you’ve completed the four challenges, you are ranked by your final score, and are named a certain kind of guide based on that rank. They’ve got guide ranks such as Jetsetter and Globetrotter, so you know we love it. Right now, my score is over 21,000, I’m a Cartographer! Now if I could just work my way up to the highest rankings around the world, and be Superhuman (a 232,000 score). But seriously…who can really even click that fast?? If rankings aren’t important, the games has little ‘trophies’ it awards for accomplishing certain tasks, like answering quickly and correctly.

Thanks Geo Challenge for the late nights and the distractions when I’m supposed to be doing something else. We’ve had some great times…but I think I must go to GC Anonymous so I can go back to being a productive contributor to society.

Have you played Geo Challenge before? If so, give us your highest rank? If not, give it a try…just try not to get addicted like me.
