Practice mode
Farflung unlimited, no daily limit
The same map, the same five rarity tiers, and as many rounds as you like. Practice prompts run on a 25 second clock and never touch your daily expedition.
No daily cap
25 seconds per clue
Unlimited mode
25 seconds. One clue. As many rounds as you like.
Practice prompts from our own bank. The clock starts when you press begin, and every correct country adds its rarity distance to the running total.
No account. Your daily expedition is untouched.
A clock, not a countdown to nothing
Every prompt gets 25 seconds. Finish early, or let the timer run while you read the map.
One pin, one country
Choose any country that fits. The game checks it against the answer list and awards its tier.
Score chases the gem
Common answers keep the streak alive. Farflung answers are what push the session total.
The loop
How practice mode works
Unlimited mode is built for the part of the daily game you cannot repeat: the next prompt. It deals a fresh clue from the practice bank, starts the clock, and keeps a session score until you stop.
There is no daily lock and no leaderboard. The point is repetition: read the qualifier, picture the region, and pick a country that fits before the timer runs out.
- 01
Press start
The first prompt is dealt immediately. The clock begins at 25 seconds and stops the moment you drop a pin.
- 02
Read the qualifier
Most clues have more than one correct country. Look for the word that narrows the list: a border, a sea, a language or a flag.
- 03
Drop the pin
Click a country on the map or choose one from the list. The game shows the tier and the distance that answer earned.
- 04
Go again
A new prompt follows. The session total, streak and best streak stay on screen until you leave the page.
The tiers
Rarity scoring
The tier system is identical to the daily game. A Common answer is worth 40 km, a Farflung answer is worth 100 km, and a wrong answer is worth nothing. The table below is rendered from the same config the game uses.
Full rarity guide| 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 better session
Tips for a better score
Say the clue back to yourself
The qualifier is the game. “A country that borders France” is a different list from “a country in Europe”. Read the small words first.
Move one step from the obvious answer
If Germany is the first country you think of for a German speaking clue, try Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg or Liechtenstein next.
Use the shape of the map
At 25 seconds, the fastest route is often visual: find the region first, then choose a country inside it that fits the clue.
Do not force a gem
A Common answer keeps the session alive. A wrong guess costs the round. Take the safe tier when the clock is against you.
