Celebrity Map Skills Put to the Test: 'Where is Kazakhstan?' | Richard Osman’s House of Games

[@susanboon4605]

This is my favourite segment, followed by the Guess the date, and the team game of averages. It tests my knowledge, teaches me something and entertains me - in fact, I could say the same thing about the program as a whole! As a Canadian, I've learned enough about football (players and managers) to discuss the subject with my English husband!

[@Spanner1982]

I wish they did a full spin off of just this game

[@ChristofferETJ]

The game where I am always much better than the competitors. Not that I necessarily know the answer, but I always know where I put my mark.

[@CamMcGinn1981]

This is my favourite of the games. Followed by "Put Your Finger on It" and "And The Answer Isn't". I also like "Bits of Hits" and "Win When They're Singing" I wish they'd do more than just three locations in each round, so I was thrilled once when they actually did four.

My geography has improved since I started watching this show!

[@billswifejo]

I love HoG. I play ‘Worldle’ and ‘travle’ every day and it has improved my geography no end.

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

My favourite game , always chuffed if I know the answer and location - doesn't happen very often .

Brussels airport is the import/export hub of Europe (I don't want to spoil stuff)

[@KevinClairSoutham]

Brussels Airport chocolate sales / its 800 tonnes a year not 800 tonnes a day. If it was everyday every passenger would have to buy 10 kilos.

[@martyonline1957]

I've never seen a map that Kazakhstan is actually shown

[@billswifejo]

It does come up occasionally.

[@Gmackematix]

Given how badly they usually do in the UK/Europe/US/Australia, the chances of them doing a round of Central Asia is slim.

[@billswifejo]

@ sadly true, but since they are often guessing anyway, they might as well guess somewhere else. They could make the first part of the question easier. The other day, Richard asked where Dolly Parton recorded her records. I didn’t know it was Nashville, but can find Tennessee on a map! 🤣

[@eastvandb]

I got Einstein's patent office right. So, one out of… Better than nothing!

[@dereklawson1318]

Brits always say Americans are poor at geography, but jeez....😮

[@hifijohn]

Their NHL and MLB teams their stadium city and state all start with the letter"p".

[@theotyler8350]

What are you talking about? I don’t really know what you are trying to say! This is not always an easy game to play! Celebrity contestants, or not! It is always difficult to play! It is always difficult to answer the questions! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hifijohn]

@@theotyler8350 its just a little trivia, relax, change your meds if needed.

[@michiganpie]

I'm from the USA but I love love love love love this show - my one complaint? Too many soccer questions (but you call it football) :)

[@DomenBremecXCVI]

Take it as an invitation to start to pay attention to the sport.

[@buretto66]

@@DomenBremecXCVI The USA has paid attention to the sport for nearly 50 years, since the likes of Pele, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, et al. graced the NASL in their golden years. Nobody cares. It's never going to take. Too boring. And I say that as an avid baseball fan, which very rightfully can be called boring as well. Nearly every kid in America plays soccer into their teens. Then the vast majority leave it.

[@DomenBremecXCVI]

@@buretto66 I understand Americans aren't watching football regularly, only during World Cups and similar events and I wasn't suggesting that you should all start. It was more just an encouragement to Michigan Pie to pick any club and just look into their story and find out more that way, no need to watch the game.

[@billswifejo]

Everything has too much sport in for me! Where are the questions about embroidery stitches, dance moves and where my cat likes to be tickled?

[@brontewcat]

⁠@@billswifejoTotally agree.

[@magillanz]

Always my favourite round. Don't always know the answer to the question but usually know where the places are. Always surprised at how poor these people's geography is, especially in their own country

[@Gmackematix]

And that's why Richard married her...

[@elchasai]

I got 7 bang on correct plus I would have put Nadal's birthplace in Barcelona, would have gotten that point, and would have put Einstein in Vienna so would have gotten that point. I love to see geography questions like this with a map, fantastic, but would love to see more than just the UK, Europe and the US being involved.

[@ThisIsMeUK]

My favourite game on the show…..but I’m absolutely rubbish at it!! Haha

[@brontewcat]

In the American Civil War, I think there were only 2 battles fought in the North. Spoiler below. One of which was the Battle of Gettysburg. We visited Washington recently and I briefly considered the possibility of a day trip to visit the battlefield, which is an hour or two drive north of Washington in Pennsylvania.

[@buretto66]

I love the demonstration of scale in the USA map, when Richard says the mark in northern Georgia is "just above Florida". For comparison of distance, that'd be like saying Newcastle is "just above London". 😉

[@cobwebscollectables7232]

800 tonnes of chocolate a YEAR not 800 tonnes a day Richard 😂

[@ceesgeudeker9920]

That's what I was thinking too. 😂😂😂

[@hribcek73]

Everything else BUT "Where is Kazakhstan?" is shown. Not going to click on any of these click-bait videos with deceiving titles.

[@billswifejo]

The round in the game is called ‘where is Kazakhstan’.

[@Gmackematix]

@@billswifejo I suspect he knows that. ;)

[@theotyler8350]

Nearly everyone, has one pint each! Richard is very generous! The weekly leaderboard keeps on going up! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@eastvandb]

Were they drinking…?

[@eh-modo]

@@eastvandb 🤣 I got thirsty, I'd love a pint of cold lager now. Greetings from Sweden
