How to use it

  1. Clues: fun facts starts with a fact ("a Wimbledon champion is from here"), then a second and third, then the capital, then the flag. Five points if they get it on the first clue, down to one on the flag.
  2. Clues: geography uses the continent, borders and coastline, then the first letter of the capital, then the capital, then the flag.
  3. After a wrong click the class hears the distance to the answer and the direction, and the clicked country is coloured: orange means within 1,500 km, pale orange within 4,000 km, grey further away.
  4. Find the country just names it. Outline shows the country's shape and asks where it is. Use the zoom buttons for Europe, where the countries are small on a world map; scroll to zoom anywhere and drag to pan.

Keys: N new country, R reveal, F full screen. Micro-states such as Malta, Singapore and the Caribbean islands are too small to click on this map, so they are left out. Map data from Natural Earth (public domain).
