HOW IT WORKS

How World Tour works

  1. A country appearsOne outline is highlighted on the map, with the surrounding region visible to help you place it.
  2. You name itPick from the four options given. Get it right and a flag question follows: spot the country's flag among four for a bonus.
  3. You choose where to go nextArrows fly out from the country to sealed destinations around it. Pick one and the tour travels there, so you steer your own route around the world.
  4. Three lives, then it banksA wrong answer takes a life, and the tour carries on from where you are. When all three are gone, your score lands on the board and your XP is banked.

THE MECHANICS

How World Tour is scored

Every country carries its own base score, so the shapes almost nobody can place pay more than the famous ones, and answering quickly adds a speed bonus on top. World Tour also rewards consistency: keep a run of correct answers going into double digits and a chain multiplier starts building, and a single wrong answer resets it. Every correct country also opens the flag bonus: pick its flag from four and the bonus adds to your score, while a wrong flag costs nothing. With no clock and the region in view, how far a run goes is decided by what you know, not how fast you click.

GET BETTER

Three things that help

Let the region answer firstThe surrounding map is half the puzzle. Pin down the neighbourhood and four options become two.
Guard your chain into double digitsThe multiplier only starts climbing on a long unbroken run. When a chain is alive, slow down and protect it.
There is no clock, so use thatThe speed bonus rewards quick answers, but a life is worth more than a bonus. Think first on the shapes you almost know.

THE BOARD

Where you land

Every World Tour run is scored and ranked. Each month is its own board, your best run of the month sets your rank on it, and the all-time board keeps the best runs ever recorded. Your chain rides along on your entry, so a long unbroken run is visible to everyone you outlasted.

FAQ

World Tour questions

What is World Tour?

World Tour is MapFiend's relaxed endless mode. You get three lives, no clock, and the surrounding region stays visible while you guess each country from its outline, choosing from four options. After each country you choose where the tour goes next, and the run lasts until your lives are gone.

Is World Tour a good way to learn the countries of the world?

Yes, it is the mode built for it. The region gives every shape context, the four options turn a blank into a process of elimination, and there is no clock pushing you. Playing a lap a day is a painless way to study the countries of the world.

How does the chain multiplier work?

Short chains score normally. Once a run of consecutive correct answers reaches double digits, a multiplier starts building on your base points, and one wrong answer resets it. Speed bonuses sit outside the multiplier.

What is the flag bonus?

After every country you name correctly, World Tour shows four flags and asks which one belongs to it. The right flag adds a bonus to your score. A wrong pick costs nothing: no life, no points, and your chain stays alive.

How is World Tour different from Conquest?

World Tour shows the region, offers four options and has no timer. Conquest hides the region, makes you type every answer and runs a clock on each one. Same three lives, very different blood pressure.

Is it free?

Yes. World Tour is free to play in your browser on phone or desktop, with nothing to install.
