On expedition #1143 you cross World at the Hard level. The route has 15 stops spread over 15 questions in three legs: Name the country (5 questions), Flags (5 questions) and finally Capitals (5 questions).
- In the naming leg 5 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
- The flags leg shows 5 flags and asks for their countries; 5 different flags pass in front of you.
- The capitals leg asks for the capital of 5 countries.
Hard skips the easiest quarter of the region and offers the nearest neighbours as wrong answers; on flags, the most similar-looking ones too.
If you joined the stops capital to capital, in the order the questions bring them, the dashed line would be 129,970 km long, with 14 hops between 15 stops.
Tips from the window seat
- Name the country: Look at the coastline first: which sea a country touches rules out half the options.
- Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
- Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
