On expedition #1139 you cross Europe at the Hard level. The route has 15 stops spread over 12 questions in three legs: Capitals (5 questions), Bigger or smaller (3 questions) and finally Name the country (4 questions).
- The capitals leg alternates: 5 questions, country to capital and back again.
- The size leg is 3 population duels: which of two countries has more people?
- In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
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 19,430 km: 14 hops in all.
Tips from the window seat
- Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
- 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.
