This trip through Africa is set at Medium. The 15 questions come in three legs — Find the country (5 questions), then Capitals (5 questions), then Flags (5 questions) — and visit 15 countries in all.
- In the map leg you tap 5 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
- The capitals leg turns things round: 5 capitals, and you name the country of each.
- The flags leg names 5 countries and gives you four flags each time, 18 different flags in all.
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 43,820 km: 14 hops in all.
Tips from the window seat
- Find the country: Read the distance after a miss: it tells you how close you were.
- 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.
