On expedition #1083 you cross Africa at the Easy level. The route has 17 stops spread over 14 questions in three legs: Bigger or smaller (3 questions), Name the country (5 questions) and finally Find the country (6 questions).
- The size leg is 3 population duels: which of two countries has more people?
- In the naming leg 5 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
- In the map leg you tap 6 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
Easy means the questions come from the best-known countries of the region, and wrong options from other parts of the world, so most of them can be ruled out at a glance.
If you joined the stops capital to capital, in the order the questions bring them, the dashed line would be 55,730 km long, with 16 hops between 17 stops.
Tips from the window seat
- Bigger or smaller: Do not trust the map for area: flat maps distort sizes.
- Name the country: If the close view confuses you, zoom out once and look at the whole region.
- Find the country: Read the distance after a miss: it tells you how close you were.
