Expedition #1016 stays in North and Central America at the Hard level: three legs, 14 questions and 14 different countries along the way. It opens with Flags (4 questions), carries on with Capitals (6 questions) and lands with Name the country (4 questions).

The flags leg shows 4 flags and asks for their countries; 4 different flags pass in front of you.
The capitals leg asks for the capital of 6 countries.
In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.

The Hard setting is for people who know the region: no easy countries, and every wrong option sits right next to the right one.

The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 23,490 km: 13 hops in all.

Tips from the window seat

Flags: Plain tricolours are the hardest; check the colour of the middle band.
Capitals: Say the pair in both directions in your head after each answer.
Name the country: If the close view confuses you, zoom out once and look at the whole region.

After the landing

Finish the third leg and the expedition is stamped in your passport; the button for expedition #1017 appears right under the quiz.
