Master Korean Geography Through Interactive Play

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

How the Game Works

The game displays a province or city name at the top of the screen, and your job is to click on that province or city's location on the South Korea 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 or city turns green and stays highlighted. If you click the wrong province or city, it flashes red and you can try again immediately. The game tracks your accuracy, streak, and overall score as you progress through provinces and cities.

Educational Benefits

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

Tips for Success

  • Start with coastal anchors: Busan, Ulsan, South Jeolla, and Jeju are easier to spot along the coastline.
  • Learn by region: Focus on one region at a time - Northwest, Northeast, Central, Southeast, Southwest, and Jeju.
  • Recognize distinctive shapes: The east coast curve and Jeju Island are strong visual anchors.
  • Small provinces and cities need focus: Seoul, Daejeon, Gwangju, and Ulsan are compact and close to neighboring areas.
  • Use the zoom feature: Zoom in around the Seoul metro area and the southeast coast for accurate clicks.
  • 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 South Korea, 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 cities and return to them later, reset the game to practice again, and view detailed statistics about your performance including accuracy rate and longest streak.
