Web Site of the Week: Traveler IQ Game

Keyboard computer web siteEach week here on PeterGreenberg.com, we’ve got tech-savvy traveler Johnny Jet coming at you with a fresh, new Web site for your travels.

Sometimes, it’s one to help you get discounts on airfares, or find a good seat on the train.

This week, though, Johnny’s having a bit more fun, with an online travel game.

Find out where the fun is with our latest Web Site of the Week.

OK, I was introduced to this Web site recently and I’m addicted.The site is on Facebook and you need to become a registered member in order to play the totally addictive Traveler IQ game.

Trust me, it’s so cool that if you have a lot of work to do, don’t log on!

Users are challenged to pinpoint cities, capitals, historic sites or famous places by clicking on the map.

You only have a few seconds to choose and the faster you do it, the more points you accumulate. If you don’t earn enough points for the next round, the game is over.

It starts out pretty easy and gets progressively more difficult. I made it to level 11 out of 12 in the world challenge and I’m stuck there.

However, they have different games to play so if you don’t know world geography you can start off by testing your knowledge of North America, Canada, Europe, Asia and Africa; UNESCO sites are coming soon.

It’s a great tool, not only to help you brush up on your geography but to teach your children as well.

Johnny Jet can be found online at JohnnyJet.com.
