The rules
How a round works
A round is five clues and five pins. There is no clock on the daily expedition, so the game is about reading the clue carefully rather than typing quickly.
Read the full rules- 01
Read the clue
Each clue describes a country, not a point on the map. “A country where German is an official language” accepts every country where that is true.
- 02
Choose a country
Click a country on the chart or pick one from the list. The name appears under the map before you commit, so you can move the pin.
- 03
Drop the pin
One answer per clue. The game checks the country against the answer list and shows the tier it earned.
- 04
Keep the rarity in mind
Germany is Common for the German clue. Luxembourg is Farflung. Both are correct; only one adds 100 km.
- 05
Reach camp
After the fifth pin, camp shows your total distance, every accepted answer and a short fact about each country.
The score
Rarity levels
Every accepted country carries one of five tiers. The tier sets the distance the answer adds, from 40 km to 100 km. The values below are the same object the game reads at runtime.
Rarity and scoring explained| Tier | Distance | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 40 km | The answer most players reach for first. |
| Uncommon | 55 km | A second thought, and a better one. |
| Rare | 70 km | A country that takes a little digging. |
| Elusive | 85 km | The answer that makes people look twice. |
| Farflung | 100 km | The gem. The answer almost nobody names. |
A gem is the least obvious accepted answer in a clue. It is usually the Farflung tier, and every prompt has at least one.
