Find Out - Capital Cities

Share Collapse

Author Comments

Try to guess the name of the capital cities and the corresponding countries. By clicking on a letter (lower part of the screen) that letter is chosen and, if present in the sentence, is added to the sentence (higher part of the screen): each correctly guessed consonant earns 7500 pts while choosing a vocal costs 25000 pts. A limited number of errors (initially 5) are given to the player and an extra error is gained when the sentence is cleared. If the player thinks the correct answer is known, the button “Solve” can be clicked: in “solve mode” the player must guess the correct letters (one by one) that form the sentence (the current letter to guess is indicated by a ? in the sentence). Each correctly guessed letter in “solve mode” (either vocal or consonant) earns 15000 pts. An error in “solve mode” results in the end of the game.
Game is completely controlled by mouse. Press +/- to enable/disable sound. Press ESC to quit to the main menu.

No volume control. Had to load the game three times to even get the game to start.

Vowels cost 7500 points and music can be be turned on/off with +/-. Read the description before you just low score a game people.

Dude, half the letters don't even work. Apart from "U", none of the vowels work. And if I'm not mistaken 3/4 of the letters on the top row don't work. So why even submit this garbage if half of your letters DON'T work?

Music is repetitious and tinny-sounding. Game would not allow me to enter a letter I knew to be in the solution until I entered "solve" mode.
In terms of entertainment/education, a better idea might be to show some fact about the capital or an image after solving the puzzle. While this game might appeal to some, I found it to be somewhat dull.

The game is really good. I would suggest improving the visual and the interface. It looks like a child game on the main menu, and needs some polishing when trying to guess the words. Besides that, it's a great game, entertained me for a good hour.
