How well do you know Europe?

Lufthansa is running a promotion for their Miles-and-More members (frequent flyer club) and they have put together a nice interactive puzzle of Europe. It is pretty tricky to place all of the 45 countries (!) into Europe just based on their shape. To make it a bit easier, you can also have the country names displayed.
Try this link first, if you don’t want to register with Lufthansa. Europe Puzzle.
If that doesn’t work for you, you will have to go through the registration process, (click here) but you can enter any 9-digit number if you are not a Miles-and-More member.
Any other interactive maps out there worth talking about? In a previous post, Chris pointed out a site with an interactive map where you can add push-pins to show the places you have been. What can I say? Chris and I are map-heads.

That was a lot of fun!
I got more right than I thought I would – even though the test response was “surely you know Europe better than that!” Western Europe was no problem – but Eastern Europe was still an eye-opener!
I’ll be playing it a few more times before I get it all straight in my mind!
Addictive. Of course, Jean likes Lufthansa-inspired geography games. Back when we worked together she quizzed all of her coworkers as to the country for each city listed in the Lufthansa calendar.
My favorite internet map is beermapping.com, a good reference for business travelers who enjoy good beer.
Nice, I’ll have to write about this one. Another great game is at http://www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq
where you can do lots of map based puzzles.
What a great viral marketing campaign! I’ll defintely have to write about the marketing aspects of this on Brandcurve. I love it!
That was pretty hard! Darn those Balkan countries!
