Master Egyptian Geography Through Interactive Play

Where in Egypt is an educational geography game designed to help you learn and master the locations of governorates. Unlike traditional geography quizzes with multiple choice questions, this game challenges you to find governorates on an interactive map with no hints, testing and improving your spatial memory and geographic knowledge of Egypt.

How the Game Works

The game displays a governorate name at the top of the screen, and your job is to click on that governorate's location on the Egypt map. There are no tooltips, no hints, and no multiple choice options - just you, the map, and your memory. When you click correctly, the governorate turns green and stays highlighted. If you click the wrong governorate, it flashes red and you can try again immediately. The game tracks your accuracy, streak, and overall score as you progress through governorates.

Educational Benefits

This interactive approach to learning Egyptian geography is more effective than passive study methods. By actively engaging with the map and receiving immediate feedback, you develop stronger spatial memory and geographic literacy. Students, teachers, and geography enthusiasts use this game to prepare for tests, improve their knowledge of Egyptian geography, and challenge themselves to achieve perfect accuracy.

Tips for Success

  • Start with the coastline: Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River anchor the south.
  • Follow the Nile: The Nile runs through Upper Egypt governorates and into the Delta, helping you order the south to north flow.
  • Anchor the Delta: Alexandria, Beheira, Kafr ash Shaykh, and Dakahlia sit along the Mediterranean and the Delta.
  • Separate canal cities: Port Said, Ismailia, and Suez line the Suez Canal and can be easy to confuse.
  • Sinai is distinct: North Sinai and South Sinai are split across the peninsula and stand apart from mainland Egypt.
  • Zoom for Cairo cluster: Cairo, Giza, Qalyubiyah, and nearby Delta governorates are compact and close together.
  • Practice consistently: Daily practice for 5-10 minutes is more effective than occasional long sessions for building lasting geographic knowledge.

Game Features

The game includes several features to enhance your learning experience: zoom and pan controls for detailed map exploration across Egypt, a scoring system that rewards accuracy and speed, progress tracking that saves your session, and an optional timer mode for advanced players. You can skip difficult governorates and return to them later, reset the game to practice again, and view detailed statistics about your performance including accuracy rate and longest streak.
