About ReMap Africa: Place African Countries by Shape
ReMap Africa is a geography puzzle that tests how well you know the African map by shape alone. African countries are removed and shown as pieces on the side. Drag each piece back to its correct outline. No labels — just outlines and your memory of Africa.
How to Play ReMap Africa
- Choose a difficulty: Easy (fewer countries), Medium, or Hard (more African countries to place).
- Look at the Africa map: empty outlines show where each country belongs.
- Drag a piece from the right panel and drop it onto the matching outline on the map.
- Correct placement fills the outline and counts toward your score. Wrong placement costs a life (you have three).
- Use the + / − buttons or mouse wheel to zoom; drag the map to pan across Africa.
- Place every piece before you run out of lives to win. Your time is recorded.
Tips for ReMap Africa
- Start with distinctive shapes (e.g. Madagascar, South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria) to build confidence.
- Use the zoom controls — many African borders are straight lines and shapes can look similar.
- Easy mode is great for learning African geography; move to Medium and Hard as you improve.
Why Play ReMap Africa?
ReMap Africa sharpens your knowledge of African geography by shape. With 54 countries and many straight-line borders, the continent is one of the trickiest to reconstruct. Try ReMap World, Europe, Asia, or US States for other regions.
