GeOlympics, the game referred to in the title, is a single player quiz game that is accessed by clicking on the five ring Olympic symbol on the right of the main screen. There is a three round practice mode but the aim of the main game is to locate twelve randomly selected cities from either their name, a description or clues. An example from the game's documentation says the city of Detroit can be identified from the following description "'Motor City'; RenCen, Silverdome, Greenfield Village".
Questions are timed, the player has ten seconds to click on the city's location on the world map and they have three attempts per turn. -
Finally there is ArcEdit which, as the name implies, is an editor that allows the player to change existing cities or add new ones.
