Questions
How does Around the World in 80 Challenges work?
You fly from Pakistan around the world and back, one stop at a time. Your next destination is always a mystery: identify it from a challenge, such as a flag, a famous dish, a landmark photo, a capital or a scrambled name, and you land there and get a passport stamp.
What do gold, silver and bronze stamps mean?
Gold means you solved the challenge on the first try, silver on the second, and bronze after that. If you miss three times, the answer is shown and you still travel on, so you never get stuck.
Is my progress saved?
Yes, on this phone or computer. Come back any time to continue your journey from the last stop.
How many stops are there?
80 stops: through South and Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the Americas, Oceania and East Asia, and finally home to Pakistan.
Where do the facts and photos come from?
Photos are from Wikimedia Commons and are credited when you land. Facts are Dareecha's own notes on each country's culture, food and geography.
