Master Russian Geography Through Interactive Play

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

How the Game Works

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

Educational Benefits

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

Tips for Success

  • Start in the west: Kaliningrad is isolated from the rest of Russia and easy to identify.
  • Use the Arctic coast: Murmansk and Arkhangel'sk anchor the northwest coastline.
  • Follow the Volga: Nizhegorod, Tatarstan, Samara, and Volgograd line the Volga corridor.
  • Cluster the North Caucasus: Chechnya, Ingush, North Ossetia, Kabardin-Balkar, and Dagestan are compact and close together.
  • Spot the Far East: Sakhalin is an island, with Kamchatka and Chukchi far to the northeast.
  • Anchor Siberia: Krasnoyarsk and Sakha (Yakutia) are massive and help orient the center and northeast.
  • 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 Russia, 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 regions and return to them later, reset the game to practice again, and view detailed statistics about your performance including accuracy rate and longest streak.
