A game that combines food and geography is quite relevant to my interests. That game is FoodGuessr, which is a little like GeoGuessr, but it uses food instead of a location photograph. You'll be given a photograph of a dish and a description of its ingredients and preparation method. You have five guesses as to which country the food is from. You pick the country from a list, which is the most time-consuming part because they are arranged by continent and then by alphabet, which is tedious. If your first guess is wrong, they will tell you whether you are warm, hot, or very hot. You get 5,000 points for being right on the first guess, and lesser amounts for subsequent guesses.
There are actually three games. You can compete with other players in the daily game, which has three rounds. Or you can play by yourself in the unlimited 5-round Quick Play mode. There's also a different game, called Plate Off where you are shown two different dishes, and you guess which is most liked globally. I first tried the Quick Play, where I did better than I expected.

No matter how you score, you'll learn about dishes from around the world that you might want to seek out and try. Or some you may want to avoid. -via Metafilter
