Was just reading the upstate/downstate thread and was reminded of this game on New York State's official website:

New York State | Map-NY

How good are you at guessing NYS's counties correctly?

Default game

I did better with the downstate counties...Delaware and below, the eastern counties...more so that the western ny ones. Thanks for the game. I will pass it on to my newyorker friends. They wil enjoy it.

All right! Where the heck is Franklin County???

I'm at -15 and going to hit the "I give up" button. (And I was just looking at a map with all of the counties listed)

It's next to Clinton County?

IMO, it needs to be larger -- I found it hard to get exactly on each of the smaller counties.

WOW....and people try to say Long Islanders don't live in a bubble....

I got all of the countes from Syracuse westward, as long as all of the NYC area counties fairly easily (only one west of Syracuse I missed is Schulyer or something. Took me forever to find Essex. Final score -36

Final score - 57

Guessed every county correct. Just too easy for me. Then again, I've been studying maps for the fun of it since I was 8 years old. LOL

This reminds me of my geography course in college where we had to identity places in the world on a map. Those tests were actually fun for me! I'd almost always finish first and still get an A+.

My mind thinks "in maps". I normally can not remember someone's name, but if they tell me where they live, I always remember it....
