On expedition #1059 you cross North and Central America at the Hard level. The route has 15 stops spread over 15 questions in three legs: Flags (6 questions), Find the country (5 questions) and finally Capitals (4 questions).
- The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 6 questions and 14 different flags.
- In the map leg you tap 5 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
- The capitals leg alternates: 4 questions, country to capital and back again.
Hard skips the easiest quarter of the region and offers the nearest neighbours as wrong answers; on flags, the most similar-looking ones too.
If you joined the stops capital to capital, in the order the questions bring them, the dashed line would be 26,500 km long, with 14 hops between 15 stops.
Tips from the window seat
- Flags: Read each flag from the pole side; order matters.
- Find the country: Zoom in for the small ones; at the full view a few countries are only a dot.
- Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
