iPad owners can get their hands on a fascinating quiz that will aid their knowledge of world geography while also being fun for all the family, as MapsofWorld has released an interactive game for the device called “My World Quiz”. The game allows link-up between two players with iPad devices, and keeps a constant check on how the players’ knowledge of geography is improving along the way.

Our gaming correspondent notes: “This game is a highly intuitive way of learning things you didn’t know about geography and is unique among quiz applications currently available in its sector. For example, if you are logging unusually high scores, it will automatically promote you to the next level – so cheating won’t do much for your score, and if you have a natural aptitude it will test you on your level.”

My World Quiz has already been available online for some time. It has been running on Facebook and as an extension for some of the more popular web browsers. Players who pick it up as an iPad app can also sync it up with their social networking accounts. As a website, MapsofWorld is considered by experts to be among the top thousand US websites, so their pedigree is in no doubt.

Our correspondent concludes: “This is a game that will attract young and old, and is an excellent study aid for young students looking to improve their grasp of geography. MapsofWorld has the backing of National Geographic, and that’s some pretty weighty backup to have on board for any organisation with an eye on geography.”
