FAQ
Why didn’t I receive stars for correct answers?
You need a minimum number of correct answers per country to earn stars. Very small countries require only one correct answer; very large countries demand all answers correct. Try other countries first if you’re stuck.
How does Diplomacy work?
After playing for a while, a “Diplomacy” button appears. Using it reduces the number of correct answers needed to unlock a country, which is especially helpful for larger ones.
How can I compare with other players?
Go to Settings → Miscellaneous to view leaderboards. The World leaderboard ranks players by stars; the Answers leaderboard ranks by answer accuracy. Your score is uploaded after you’ve played enough.
How to report an error or questionable question?
