How it works
A prompt appears at the top of the screen. Tap the country or territory on the 1945 map. Your first tap scores 3 points and a second try scores 2; miss twice and the answer is shown on the map before the next prompt. Ten prompts, 100 seconds, so a perfect round is 30 points.
It is also one of the categories in the daily geography challenge: one shared round a day, the same for everyone, with a streak to keep.
