Farflung: The Daily Map-Pin Expedition
Drop five pins on countries that fit the day’s clues. Rarer correct answers take you farther.
Try five prompts
Choose a country for each clue. In this Terraday sample, the less obvious valid choice earns two points.
From the first pin to camp
- Read a prompt and think of a country that satisfies it.
- Tap that country on the map and lock in your pin.
- Check how far the choice takes you. Less obvious valid choices generally earn more distance.
- After five prompts, review the other valid answers and the facts the game shows about them.
Beginners can aim for five valid pins before looking for rarer ones. If you already know your way around the map, think of a second possible country before locking in the first. The payoff comes from choosing a place you can both justify and find.
When to choose the less obvious country
On a clue about a coastline, start by picturing the body of water. Trace around it in your head before you pick. A place with a familiar name can be tempting even when it lies just beyond the coast the question names. If you can name two countries and point to both of them, then you have a choice worth making for rarity.
The sample’s points are fixed so you can replay the same prompts and see how the strategy changes your result. In the daily expedition, each prompt has its own set of valid answers and rarities. If you’re unsure whether a small country meets the condition, a more familiar valid answer can be a good choice. A confident ordinary answer earns distance, and a miss does not.
At camp, look at one country that surprised you and figure out why it counted. It could be a coastline, a language, or a border that you had overlooked. That is a concrete fact you can use next time the same region comes up. If you enjoy that part of the game, try GeoGrid, which asks you to match two geographic conditions in each cell.
