Geography pack
The Around the World pack
Around the World covers the geography questions: countries, capitals, borders, languages, islands, rivers and peaks.
What is in the pack
The Around the World pack holds 60 games of 7 questions each. These are the subjects that come up most often.
- Countries and capitals across the five continents.
- Borders, enclaves and landlocked countries.
- Official languages and language areas.
- Islands, seas, rivers and summits.
What floats, what sinks
On this theme, France, Brazil, Japan are among the most-given answers: correct, but worth little.
By contrast, a European micro-state, a Central Asian country, an island in the Indian Ocean are just as valid and far rarer. Those are the answers that take Pip down.
Geography is where the gap is widest: there are 195 countries, and most players keep naming the same fifteen. A correct but rarely named answer sinks a long way.
Game format
Every game in the pack has 7 questions, 25 seconds to answer each one and a 700 point maximum.
