How to play Farflung

Read each of the five geography prompts and place one pin on a country that fits. You can move the pin before dropping it. A correct, less obvious choice takes you further; the same country can fit more than one prompt.

There is no clock by default. Difficulty settings can add a 60-second timer, hide borders or hide the country name under your pin. After the fifth prompt, camp shows your results and the accepted answers.

Read the condition before choosing a country

Words such as “capital”, “official”, “wild” and “currently” change the question. Read the scope beside each prompt, then open one hint at a time. A familiar answer can be a useful starting point while you look for a less obvious fit.

For expeditions from #9, a territory normally counts for the country it belongs to. Wildlife, shops and other things found there can qualify that country. Questions about names, national flags, capitals and official languages use the country’s own identity instead. Expeditions #1–8 keep their original rules.

A good answer still needs a land pin

Zoom in for small islands and narrow coastlines. Check the country name under the pin before confirming. A pin at sea or on disputed ground does not identify a valid country. You do not normally need to find the exact shop, animal habitat or landmark mentioned in the clue.

Use as much help as you want

The five numbered links only move down the page; they keep every prompt in view. Give me a hint opens the first clue for Prompt 1. Each prompt has three separate clues and its own answer. Show answers opens all five answers while leaving the detailed lists folded.

A recommendation is one suggested choice. Featured gems are the game’s selected surprises. The other highest-tier countries and the full valid set are separate lists. When a list is partial, the page says so. Rarity is specific to the prompt and does not describe a country’s population, size or a live player percentage.

Questions

When does Farflung reset?

A new expedition starts at your local midnight. Everyone playing that date gets the same five prompts. This page initially uses the US Eastern date; a date link appears if your browser is on a different day.

Is a featured gem the only correct answer?

No. Each prompt accepts several countries. A featured gem is a selected surprising answer in the highest rarity tier. Other countries can share that tier without being featured gems.

How much do the rarity tiers score?

Common adds 40 km, Uncommon 55 km, Rare 70 km, Elusive 85 km and Farflung 100 km. A missed pin adds no distance. These tiers are not live player selection percentages.

Why might answers be unavailable or change?

We keep the whole day hidden until the official source, an independent second source and our checks agree on all five prompts. A later conflict hides the day again while it is reviewed.
