Six ways to travel
Every mode works with any region and three levels of difficulty. Choose one and the quiz starts at once; you can switch countries or difficulty right under the map.
Find the country
A name at the top, a blank map below: tap the country before the clock runs down.
Name the country
The map zooms to a country lit in yellow. Four names, one of them right.
Capitals
From a country to its capital, from a capital back to its country, or alternating.
Flags
A flag and four countries, or a country and four flags.
Bigger or smaller
Two countries, one question: more people, or more land?
Name them all
One region, one clock, and a blank map that fills in as you type.
Quiz of the day
Ten questions, the same for every traveller today. A new quiz arrives at midnight.
Expeditions
Each expedition is a fixed trip: one region, one level, three legs in different modes. The number decides the questions, so expedition #1050 is the same for everyone who flies it.
Find the country
This is the classic map quiz. The name of a country appears above the map and you tap that country. A right answer turns it green; a wrong one paints your tap red, lights up the real country and joins the two with a dashed line, with the distance between them in kilometres. That distance is the most useful part of a miss: being 300 km off in the Balkans is a near thing, being 4,000 km off means it is time to look at that corner of the map again.
Name the country
Here the map does the pointing and you do the naming. One country glows in yellow, the map moves in close enough to see it with some of its neighbours, and four names appear below. Tiny states get a ring around them so they cannot hide between the borders.
Capitals
The capitals quiz has three directions. In the first you see a country and choose its capital from four cities. In the second you see a capital and choose the country it belongs to. The mixed version, which is the default, alternates between the two, and that is the one that sticks best: knowing that a city is a capital is only half the job until you can also go the other way.
Flags
Flags are the quickest way to start a geography habit, and the least forgiving: two stripes in a different order make a different country. This mode works both ways. Either a large flag appears and you choose its country, or a country is named and four flags appear for you to pick from.
Bigger or smaller
Each question puts two country cards side by side and asks either which one has more people or which one is larger. After you choose, both figures appear under the cards together with the year of the data. Population figures are for 2025 and areas for 2023, both from the World Development Indicators of the World Bank.
Name them all
This mode is a memory sprint. Pick a region and type the names of its countries, one after another. Every name you get right is filled in on the map at once, which is surprisingly useful: the gaps left on the map are a hint of where you have not looked yet.
