What the map tells you about each one
The paragraph the game shows when you find each one. Reading them first is not cheating.
- Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma
- Tangier faces the strait, while Tétouan and Al Hoceïma connect the region to the Mediterranean.
- Oriental
- Oujda is the regional capital; Nador and Saïdia face the Mediterranean.
- Fès-Meknès
- The two imperial cities connect the Saïss plain with the Middle Atlas.
- Rabat-Salé-Kénitra
- Rabat and Salé face one another across the Bou Regreg estuary.
- Béni Mellal-Khénifra
- The region spans the Tadla plain and parts of the Middle and High Atlas.
- Casablanca-Settat
- Casablanca is a major commercial city; the region also includes farmland inland.
- Marrakech-Safi
- Marrakesh stands north of the High Atlas, while the coastal cities have maritime histories.
- Drâa-Tafilalet
- Ouarzazate, the Drâa valley and the Tafilalt oases connect mountains with desert landscapes.
- Souss-Massa
- The Souss plain lies between the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas, with argan woodlands nearby.
- Guelmim-Oued Noun
- Guelmim and Tan-Tan connect Atlantic towns with the dry landscapes farther south. Morocco’s regional scheme includes part of disputed Western Sahara in this region.
- Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra
- This is a region in Morocco’s administrative scheme, largely within disputed Western Sahara. Its inclusion here does not settle sovereignty or show a boundary of actual control.
- Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab
- Morocco administers Dakhla and claims this region. Western Sahara’s final status remains unresolved; the regional outline is not a map of which side controls each area.
How this one works
How many regions in Morocco’s administrative scheme are on the map?
12. Every one of them is on the map, and a run asks 8 of them. Pass a round and the places you found in it drop out of the pool, so the next run is what you have left.
What is a round?
A run of 8 questions, and 6 right passes it. 2 rounds cover the whole map, and the counter at the top of the Morocco page counts the ones behind you. Passing is what banks a round's finds: miss the mark and nothing is taken off the map, so every place that round asked about is still there to be asked again. A round is always the places you have not found yet, and when fewer than five are left it is topped up with a few you have found as review, so the last round is never one or two questions. Three quarters of it passes it.
Can I start the map over?
Yes. "Reset this map" under the counter puts all 12 back in the pool and sets the rounds to zero the moment you press it, so the whole map is there to be found again from nothing. It clears this map only; the other maps of Morocco keep their progress.
Do I need an account?
No. The game plays in the page, and a guest's progress is kept in their own browser. Signing in carries it between devices and earns XP for a run.
What happens when I get one wrong?
The map names what you actually hit, then lights up the right answer in green and tells you something about the place. Missing one is how most of this map gets learned.
