"Africa: The Year of Africa, 1960" is a history map quiz with 17 countries. 1960 is known as the Year of Africa: 17 African countries became independent in that single year, most of them from French rule. The map is drawn as it was then, so some names differ from today's: Upper Volta is now Burkina Faso, Dahomey is Benin and the Malagasy Republic is Madagascar.
You are given a name and tap that place on the map as it looked then; each place allows three tries, and the faster and more accurately you answer, the more points you score. Choose Play for a scored run, or Learn to explore the map first.
