World of Where for Mac

Brush Up on World Geography

If you struggle to get children interested in maps — or you want to challenge your own knowledge — the program World of Where could be worth a look. It opens quickly and presents an interactive world map so you can pick which region to be tested on. Note: the trial edition restricts continent selection to Europe.

How the Program Operates

When you start the application, a global map is displayed and you select the continent you want questions from. The interface is straightforward, which makes it easy for younger learners to navigate. There is also an option to include U.S. state questions, so it can be especially useful for users in the United States.

Quiz Options and Gameplay

• Take a mixed, worldwide quiz drawing from all continents.
• Skip any item you don’t recognize and return later if you wish.
• Choose between quizzes on flags, cities, or sovereign countries.

There is no countdown timer, so you can proceed at a relaxed pace.

Recommended Alternative

• Google Earth — free and widely available; a good supplement if you want a more visual, exploratory geography tool.

Recent Improvements

• Corrected and updated the national flag used for the Republic of Congo.
• Introduced a right-click/contextual menu on country and city names for quicker actions.
• Included the cantons of Switzerland in the location database.
• Built universal binary support for better compatibility across systems.
