Farflung rules in short
- Read the prompt
Each prompt has several right answers, such as a country where a language is official.
- Drop a pin
Tap the map to place your pin on a country, then press Drop pin.
- Go further
Rarer right answers take you further. A country that does not fit is a miss. Do that for all five prompts to finish the expedition.

Search the edges
Rare answers are usually small, distant or surprising. For a language prompt, think of former colonies, tiny states and regions you rarely hear about. Make sure the answer is really right, though. A miss on a bold pick costs more than a safe common answer.
