choose a category under ‘Compare,’ and then touch two countries on the globe one after the other.

see pages 7 and 8 for instructions. Also, the exchange rates will be based on those automatically
updated at the time of your last download.

Infinity will tell you to find certain places on the map, and you must answer the questions as quickly
as you can. Each activity (except “Continents” and “Local Places”) has 3 different levels, and for
each level the player must answer the required number of questions correctly. Players need to answer
the questions within the time limit; the time limit varies depending on the age group the player has
selected. The ‘Ultimate Challenge’ game is a combination of questions from all the other categories.
NOTE: Use the local map to answer the questions about local places.
