"New Zealand: Regions" is a free map quiz with 16 regions. You are given a name and tap that place on a blank map; each place allows three tries, and the faster and more accurately you answer, the more points you score.

The list includes Auckland, Northland and West Coast, and some that are small enough to be tricky: Nelson, Auckland and Taranaki. Choose Play for a scored run, or Learn to explore the map first and tap any place to see its name.
