the globaldevelopment game

the globaldevelopment game is an educational geography trivia game where the player needs to score as many points as possible. It is divided into three rounds, with a highscore calculated at the end of each challenge.

The first round is about identifying countries on a map, and has five challenges in total: the Americas, Africa, Europe, West and Central Asia, and Asia Pacific. Every challenge must be completed before the timer runs out. The time limit is different from case to case, due to the varying number of countries on each map, however the game may add a bonus of ten seconds to the original time once the player decides to replay particular challenges, to ease up the difficulty. The task in the second round is to rearrange a list of eight countries according to their GDP per capita, from highest to lowest. It has five challenges as well, with the same regions as the first round. Finally, the third round is a string of 20 multiple choice questions that must be answered in 120 seconds. Getting the correct answer from the first try is awarded four points, from the second try - two points, while the third try is valued at one point. The questions involve global development subjects, such as level of corruption, ecology, charity, worldwide summits and organizations.
