HeroCraft started as a 6-member staff mobile games company in Russia in 2001, and has been growing ever since, being now one of the leading companies designing and releasing highly appreciated games. From what we can see, it is not going to stop designing only the best, and has thus really created a reputation for never letting down fans or just gamers.

The newly released game is called Travel Genius, and is presented by HeroCraft as the “biggest global intellectual battle of our time.” Basically, it is a game that takes you to different places, if you let it, and at the same time, it helps you verify and develop your geographical skills.

Information about every little place on the globe is included in it, and there is no chance you will be bored by the game repeating itself over and over, for several hundreds of questions have been created for you, in areas such as continents, countries, oceans, famous people and relevant inventions. No matter what the question is about, the answer will always be a place on the map, so at least you cannot get confused as to what you should do. This game is likely to prove a challenge for you, even if your geography knowledge is that vast.

Travel Genius comes with plenty of options, such as two difficulty levels, hardcore and traditional mode, stylus control support, 8 topics and territorial and thematic filters of tasks, all of which are meant to make it a fun and, at the same time, a useful experience. The detailed statistics and world record table, plus the geography IQ determiner and the option that allows you to compare your results with those of other gamers, really enhance its chances of becoming a successful game.

HeroCraft games are supported by Windows Mobile, Symbian, J2ME, Brew and PalmOS platforms. Moreover, in addition to this game, other, even more interesting releases are to come. If you're interested in more details about this particular game or other releases, visit the HeroCraft website.
