The rules as listed below.
- Outlines
- 18, 6 to a board
- Time limit
- 1:00
- A wrong pick
- Loses that name; play goes on
- 6 outlines are laid out. A name appears: click its outline, or press its number.
- Each outline fills its own tile, so size tells you nothing: go by shape.
- Once a name has been asked its outline is labelled, so the last ones on a board can be worked out.
- Pause whenever you like (Esc). The board hides while the clock is stopped.
Click the outline of each country as it is named.
About this quiz
A shape recognition quiz. Each board deals six outlines from 167 countries, every one enlarged to fill its tile, so a small country looks as big as a large one and only the shape can tell them apart.
- A wrong pick loses that name and the right outline is labelled, so the rest of the board can still be worked out. Minefield mode ends the round instead.
- 30 of the 197 countries are left out: at this map's scale they are too small for their outline to show any detail.
- The first round of each day deals the same boards to everyone. Play again for a fresh deal.
- Keys 1 to 6 pick the outlines in reading order.
