📚 How to Play & Learn Iranian Geography

Master Iranian Geography Through Interactive Play

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

How the Game Works

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

Educational Benefits

This interactive approach to learning Iranian 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 Iranian geography, and challenge themselves to achieve perfect accuracy.

Tips for Success

  • Anchor Tehran and Alborz: The capital region sits in the north-central belt and helps orient nearby provinces.
  • Follow the Caspian coast: Gilan, Mazandaran, and Golestan line the northern shoreline.
  • Trace the west: West Azarbaijan, East Azarbaijan, Kordestan, Kermanshah, and Ilam hug the western border.
  • Use the southern coastline: Khuzestan, Bushehr, Hormozgan, and Sistan and Baluchestan stretch along the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
  • Remember the Khorasan trio: North, Razavi, and South Khorasan stack across the northeast and east.
  • Watch the small provinces: Alborz, Qom, and Qazvin are compact and easy to confuse.
  • 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 Iran, 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 provinces and return to them later, reset the game to practice again, and view detailed statistics about your performance including accuracy rate and longest streak.
