Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Africa's major rivers, deserts, and mountain ranges, learn about landlocked nations and island countries, and discover facts like the Nile being the longest river in the world at 4,132 miles. Whether it's the Great Rift Valley or Madagascar's unique wildlife, there's something new in every question.
