Three legs, 11 questions, 14 countries of Europe: that is expedition #1178, flown at the Easy level. First Bigger or smaller (3 questions), then Name the country (4 questions), and to finish Find the country (4 questions).
- The size leg mixes 3 duels on people and on land.
- In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
- In the map leg you tap 4 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
The Easy setting keeps to well-known countries; the wrong answers come from other subregions and are rarely close.
The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 17,690 km: 13 hops in all.
Tips from the window seat
- Bigger or smaller: Near-ties are common on Hard; the figures appear after each answer.
- Name the country: Look at the coastline first: which sea a country touches rules out half the options.
- Find the country: Zoom in for the small ones; at the full view a few countries are only a dot.
After the landing
