On expedition #1015 you cross Africa at the Hard level. The route has 15 stops spread over 12 questions in three legs: Bigger or smaller (3 questions), Find the country (4 questions) and finally Flags (5 questions).

At the Hard level the obvious countries are left out and the wrong options are close neighbours of the right one, or, for flags, the closest look-alikes.

Capital to capital, in question order, the route covers 61,230 km over 14 hops.
