Google Maps Quiz with UMapper
There is this great tool called UMapper, that allows you to create your own Google Maps Quizzes free and easy. The quiz essentially boils down to trying to spot certain places on a map as close as you can - but it’s often the simple games that are fun! We may soon introduce UMapper in greater detail, because we see great potential in adding some UMapper functionality to WYP. For the moment, we proudly present a little Quiz we have created with UMapper (and the “we” essentially boils down to our student employee, thank you Otto, well done!) - before playing, please click the full screen mode symbol in top right corner, as otherwise the frame will be too small. After you played, please let us know your score in the comments below. Cheating is no good idea as your true score will be (anonymously) published on UMapper ;-).
Of course all these famous buildings the quiz ask for have already found their private owner on WhatsYourPlace (Spoiler alert! Clicking on one of the links below will reveal the location, so you may want to play the quiz game before):
- Forbidden City, owned by Igelreiter
- Tower Bridge, owned by Dilmo
- Petronas Towers, owned byCocktail
- Taj Mahal, owned by Atschers
- Statue of Liberty, owned by Mibru
- Sydney’s Opera House, owned by RichGRich
- Great Pyramid of Giza, owned by MrGreenwood
UMapper has also been featured in greater detail by Kristen Nicole on Mashable, on Pulse2, Nextplug, Beardedgit, to cite but a few sources.
