To answer a question, you may click on either the world map, or use one of the magnifying glasses to get to an enlarged region map.

If you click on a magnifying glass to get to a region map, but realize you are on the wrong map, you may return to the world map to pick the correct continent or region. This is just navigation; it does not count as a guess.

You can return to the world map by one of 3 ways:

  1. the globe icon in the top right corner of each continent or region map
  2. the globe icon at the end of the row of buttons below the question box
  3. the "back to world map" text link below each continent or region map


Labeled map: If you need to see a labeled map, you will have to do it from the enlarged map view. There is no labelled map for the whole world.

Show me: The show me button will always take you to a regional map (To decide when it was possible to show it on the world map was going to be too difficult to program)
