On expedition #1175 you cross South America at the Medium level. The route has 10 stops spread over 10 questions in three legs: Capitals (4 questions), Name the country (4 questions) and finally Bigger or smaller (2 questions).
- The capitals leg asks for the capital of 4 countries.
- In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
- The size leg is 2 area duels: which of two countries is larger?
The Medium setting widens the pool and keeps the wrong answers on the same continent: neighbours are not far away.
The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 35,540 km: 9 hops in all.
Tips from the window seat
- Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
- Name the country: Look at the coastline first: which sea a country touches rules out half the options.
- Bigger or smaller: For population, think of the big cities you know in each country.
