How to read each kind of clue
The clue titles change every day, but most guests cover the same ground. Here is what each kind of clue is good for.
- Language
- Listen for the sound before the words: tones, rolled r's, clicks, long compound words. Even a greeting narrows the field to a language family.
- Something from home
- Food and objects travel with people, so treat them as a region, not a country. A spice mix or a snack points to a shared cuisine.
- Landscape and weather
- Snow and deserts in one country, monsoons, islands, high plateaus: climate rules out whole continents at once.
- A sense of scale
- How long it takes to cross the country, or how many people live there, separates small neighbours from big ones.
- The last clue
- The final clue shows where the country sits and its outline. It's worth 3,000 at most, so use it as a safety net, not a plan.
