Expedition #1037

This trip through Oceania is set at Hard. The 10 questions come in three legs — Find the country (3 questions), then Name the country (3 questions), then Flags (4 questions) — and visit 10 countries in all.

• In the map leg you tap 3 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
• In the naming leg 3 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• The flags leg shows 4 flags and asks for their countries; 4 different flags pass in front of you.

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 26,960 km: 9 hops in all.

Tips from the window seat

• Find the country: Read the distance after a miss: it tells you how close you were.
• Name the country: Look at the coastline first: which sea a country touches rules out half the options.
• Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
