Travel IQ challenge. It`s a funny geographical game. The aim is easy to understand. You get a good overview of countries, monuments and capitals from around the world in a short time. (BR, Austria)

My comment about Travel IQ Challenge: The game was much fun to play, it is easy to understand what it is about, no registration, no download needed, useful for adult education as well as for pupils, immediately feeling of success, the display window is too small. (M.K. Austria)
