On expedition #1091 you cross Europe at the Hard level. The route has 15 stops spread over 12 questions in three legs: Bigger or smaller (3 questions), Capitals (5 questions) and finally Flags (4 questions).
- The size leg is 3 area duels: which of two countries is larger?
- 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: 4 questions and 9 different flags.
The Hard setting is for people who know the region: no easy countries, and every wrong option sits right next to the right one.
The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 17,190 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.
- 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.
