What Nobody Said Geography is
Nobody Said Geography is a free geography trivia game where knowing the less famous places is how you win. Each question names a part of the map, such as a country in Asia, a capital in Africa, a city in Canada, a river, a desert or a Caribbean island. Any correct answer scores, but the places everyone thinks of first are worth very little and the ones almost nobody names are worth the most. If you were searching for Krillion geography or a geography game like Krillion that you can play again and again, this is our own version of that idea, with no daily limit.
The geography pack has more than 50 questions, each with a full or very long list of accepted answers. We only accept places we are sure about, and we leave out places whose status or name is disputed. Questions do not repeat until you have played the whole pack.
How to play
- Press Start a round. A geography question appears and a 20 second timer starts.
- Type one place and press Submit or Enter. If it is not on our list you can try another one while time is left.
- Once an answer is accepted you see how rare it was, the place most people name, and the three rarest places on our list.
- If time runs out first, that question scores 0.
- After six questions press Next round to play six new ones straight away.
How the scoring works
Every accepted answer has a number attached: our estimate of how many people out of 100 would give that same answer. The rarer the answer, the more it is worth, from 1 point for the most obvious reply up to 100 points for something almost nobody would think of. When you answer, a crowd of 100 dots lights up to show how many people would have said the same thing. Each answer then lands in one of five bands:
- Everybody said it: 15 or more people in 100. Safe, but worth about 22 points or less.
- Plenty said it: 6 to 14 people in 100.
- A few said it: 2.5 to 5 people in 100.
- Hardly anyone: 1 to 2 people in 100, usually worth around 55 to 70 points.
- Nobody said it: fewer than 1 person in 100. These are worth more than 70 points, and they are what you are hunting for.
Rarity is our estimate, not live player data. We wrote every answer list by hand and judged how common each answer would be from general knowledge. It is not a survey and it does not change based on what other players type. A round has six questions, so the best possible score is 600.
Answers are checked kindly. Capital letters, accents and punctuation do not matter, plurals count, a leading "the" is ignored, and in words of five letters or more one wrong, missing or swapped letter is forgiven. If a typo could match two different answers, we ask you to try again instead of guessing.
Nobody Said Geography and Krillion
Nobody Said Geography is an independent game made by Gizmo Yard. It is not Krillion and is not affiliated with it. If you want the original daily game, Krillion is made by its own developer and has its own themed packs. Every question and answer list here is our own.
Want a mix of everything? Nobody Said has the same rules with more than 120 general questions about food, animals, films, sport and everyday life.
Tips for rare places
- Big, famous places score least. Think of neighbours of famous countries, or the second and third city rather than the first.
- Small island nations, landlocked countries and capitals that are not the largest city are good hunting grounds.
- Spelling does not have to be perfect: accents are ignored and one wrong letter in a long name is forgiven.
