Quiz of the day

Ten questions, the same for every traveller today: two each of finding, naming, capitals, flags and size duels. The quiz starts the week gently and gets tougher towards the weekend.

Expeditions

180 numbered trips, each fixed in advance: one region, one level and three legs in different modes. Every traveller gets the same questions, so you can compare scores with a friend who flew the same number.

Your passport

Finish all three legs of an expedition and it gets a stamp. The passport lives in this browser only: nothing is sent anywhere.

How a trip works

Pick a mode from the departures board, or let an expedition decide for you. A round is ten questions unless you choose a longer one, and every answer shows at once whether you were right; a wrong tap on the map draws a dashed line to the country you were looking for and tells you how many kilometres you were off.

Accuracy and pace both pay: a right answer brings 100, and replying within a couple of seconds adds up to 50 more. A hint costs half the points of that question. Your best score is kept separately for every mode, region and difficulty, so a hard round in Africa does not compete with an easy one in Europe.

If you have to leave in the middle of a round, just close the page. The next time you open it, the quiz carries on from the same question with the same score.
