This trip through Asia is set at Hard. The 14 questions come in three legs — Capitals (4 questions), then Flags (6 questions), then Name the country (4 questions) — and visit 14 countries in all.
- The capitals leg asks for the capital of 4 countries.
- The flags leg shows 6 flags and asks for their countries; 6 different flags pass in front of you.
- 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 43,900 km: 13 hops in all.
Tips from the window seat
- Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
- Flags: Read each flag from the pole side; order matters.
- Name the country: If the close view confuses you, zoom out once and look at the whole region.
After the landing
