    How to play

    The game

    A place on the map, four answers, one right. +2 for a correct answer, −1 for a wrong one. Running out of time counts as wrong.

    Two question types

    Name It — the map highlights a place and you pick its name.

    Find It — you are given a name, four pins drop on the map, and you tap the right one.

    Moving the map

    Drag to pan and pinch to zoom, at any point during a round. Two pins close together are always separable if you zoom in — you are never guessing at a dot.

    The map never tilts and never spins off-axis: north stays up, so there is nothing to reset and no way to get lost.

    The clock

    15 to 45 seconds per question, or turn it off entirely for no time limit. It is in Settings, and it is the only difficulty dial — the map is never made harder to see.

    Modes

    Race ends at your chosen target, 10 to 100 points. Fall to half the target below zero and the run is over.

    Endless has no failure state at all. It runs until you quit.

    After every answer

    Right or wrong, a panel tells you about the correct answer — the country a river crosses, a lake's area, a capital's population — and the round waits for Next. In Find It, all four pins are named, so you learn the three you did not pick as well.

    Two players
