Expedition #1052 stays in North and Central America at the Medium level: three legs, 12 questions and 15 different countries along the way. It opens with Bigger or smaller (3 questions), carries on with Flags (4 questions) and lands with Capitals (5 questions).
- The size leg is 3 area duels: which of two countries is larger?
- 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 5 countries.
The Medium setting widens the pool and keeps the wrong answers on the same continent: neighbours are not far away.
The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 26,360 km: 14 hops in all.
Tips from the window seat
- Bigger or smaller: Near-ties are common on Hard; the figures appear after each answer.
- Flags: Read each flag from the pole side; order matters.
- Capitals: Capitals that are not the largest city are the classic trap.
