Expedition #1129

This trip through World is set at Easy. The 15 questions come in three legs — Flags (6 questions), then Find the country (4 questions), then Name the country (5 questions) — and visit 15 countries in all.

• The flags leg shows 6 flags and asks for their countries; 6 different flags pass in front of you.
• In the map leg you tap 4 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
• In the naming leg 5 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.

At the Easy level the quiz sticks to the most familiar countries of the region and fills the wrong options with countries from elsewhere: a good first trip.

Capital to capital, in question order, the route covers 64,560 km over 14 hops.

Tips from the window seat

• Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
• Find the country: Read the distance after a miss: it tells you how close you were.
• Name the country: Look at the coastline first: which sea a country touches rules out half the options.
