I interviewed Eve Rehn, a woman who has played Traveler IQ more than 10,000 times and counting. She is a wonderful lady, I had fun talking to her and I like her a lot:

Eve Rehn, 48, is the most prolific player of the game. She has been playing it daily for about two months. So far, she has logged more than 9,000 games. “I’m a very extreme person,” Rehn says, “it’s all or nothing.”
Traveler IQ involves some pretty simple concepts. The player is asked to locate specific sites and cities around the world while a giant red timer at the top of the screen puts the heat on by counting down pretty rapidly. It’s the gamer’s job to locate the answer to each question in as short a time as possible. The quicker and closer the user clicks, the higher the score. As gamers continue through the levels, the locations become progressively harder to find.
