• Congrats to those who got 25k on last week's Theme Challenge #58: FtoT TinOF, fbrasseur, Johnwrw, and EniJ. The overall average among 60 players was 17,033.
• Today's challenge is tough. Technically pinnable, but I'm not expecting 25ks. No Move players will especially have a challenge.
• Here's a spreadsheet with all of my past theme challenges.
• Please feel free to post your thoughts and reactions below (in spoilers when necessary). I'll also provide my own comments.

I put together a free daily challenge browser game called GeoVex

Every day, you get 10 flags and have to pinpoint their exact country on the globe.

You get points based on how close your drop is to the actual borders. Within 2,000km gets you a partial score, while landing inside the border gets you a perfect 10.

There are Easy, Medium, and Hard modes.
Hard removes all borders and country names.

I'd love to hear your feedback or any features you'd like to see!

Play it at geovex.app and have fun!

What's that tree/plant in the distance? Why, its Araucaria araucana, the puzzler of monkeys and the matriach of the Araucariaceae family. Not as likely to drop large nuts on your head as some of the other family members are wont to do, but just as capable of causing pain and embarrassment if you step on any fallen "leaves".

In this third and final part of my Araucaria challenges, you’ll learn a bit about the national tree of Chile, follow it on a journey across the western world, only to (sort of) end up back at where you started. In other words, pay attention to the location trivia to prepare for an unpinnable round 5 trekker.

Usual 3 minutes, moving permitted. No botany knowledge required (usually).

I made a small free to play travel game where you try to find the fastest path from start to end destinations. You travel via real world airplane, train, buss and ferry lines all over the world.

How it works

Each day there will be a set of 3 challenge links, one for each game mode (Move, NM, NMPZ). There will be a world map, region map, and country map. Each day the map and game mode will rotate. Moving modes will be 3 min, NM will be 1 min, and NMPZ will be 30 sec, unless noted otherwise. On the weekend, I will post more unique/challenging maps. For each challenge link, 1st place is worth 5 points, 2nd place is worth 3 points, and 3rd place is worth 1 point. In the case of a tie, the tie will be settled by distance and then time. 5ks will also be tracked separately and are worth 1 point in moving, 3 points in NM, and 5 points in NMPZ. Updated scoring tables are posted after each week. No external assistance allowed. If you wish to talk about any of the rounds or locations in the comments, feel free to do so with a spoiler tag. Also, if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.
