Could you be an airline pilot?

Post by lomuamart »

Think you know your geography? Try this for a laugh and see how you score. Some members - I'm thinking of SteveG in particular - will probably do pretty well.
On my second attempt, I got 24,000 points which I though was reasonable:

Good game, got stumped on some obscure Lithuanian city!

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

I'll have to try it later from the hotel as games get blocked here by the company server.

I've had 27,500 now, but the game gets just a bit easier after a number of tries.

Are the cities random and change when you do multiple plays? Pete :cheers:

It seems as though the cities are limited to those marked at the first level of play. They come up randomly, but you'll get to know exactly where they all are eventually.
I found another one here, again Lufthansa:

Have a go at "the next challenge". It's pretty good and includes landmarks, wine growing regions etc etc. Sort of like a bit of general knowledge and geography.
It's kiddie proof and is quite educational.
