This trip through World is set at Medium. The 15 questions come in three legs — Capitals (5 questions), then Flags (6 questions), then Name the country (4 questions) — and visit 15 countries in all.
- The capitals leg turns things round: 5 capitals, and you name the country of each.
- The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 6 questions and 15 different flags.
- In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
Medium draws on three quarters of the region, and the wrong options come from the same continent, so you have to know where things actually are.
If you joined the stops capital to capital, in the order the questions bring them, the dashed line would be 73,180 km long, with 14 hops between 15 stops.
Tips from the window seat
- Capitals: Say the pair in both directions in your head after each answer.
- Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
- Name the country: Count the neighbours you recognise around the yellow shape.
