How it plays
Find it
Everything on the board comes from one country, except a few things. Easy shows you what to look for.
Send it home
Tap the thing, then tap the continent it came from. It flies back across the map.
Learn one thing
Every one comes with a short, true fact, and goes into your sticker passport.
What are the seven continents?
Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Australia and Antarctica. That's the list most U.S. schools teach, and it's the one the game uses.
A couple of places can go either way, so here's how we count them. Russia counts as Europe, where most of its people live. New Zealand counts with Australia, since "Australia" is the name of the continent kids learn.

Where is it from?
Every picture in the game comes with a fact. Here are a few of the ones kids ask about most.
Where do capybaras live?
Brazil. The capybara is the biggest rodent in the world, and its webbed feet make it a great swimmer.
South AmericaWhere do giant pandas live?
China. A newborn giant panda is only about the size of a stick of butter.
AsiaWhere do koalas live?
Australia. Koalas sleep up to 22 hours a day and eat only eucalyptus leaves.
AustraliaWhere do kangaroos live?
Australia. A newborn kangaroo joey is about the size of a jellybean, and it climbs into its mum's pouch by itself.
AustraliaWhere do fennec foxes live?
Egypt. The fennec is the smallest fox in the world, and its giant ears help it keep cool in the desert.
AfricaWhere do sloths live?
Brazil. Tiny green algae grow in a sloth's fur, which helps it blend right into the trees.
South AmericaWhere do platypuses live?
Australia. The platypus is a mammal that lays eggs, and its bill can feel tiny electric signals from food underwater.

Questions
What is Where's It From?
A geography hidden-object game for kids 8 to 12 and the grown-ups playing with them. Each country is drawn from pictures of its own animals, foods, landmarks and inventions, and a few pictures came from somewhere else. You find them, send each one home by picking its continent, and learn a short fact about it.
What age is it for?
8 to 12 on their own. Younger kids do fine on Easy with a grown-up next to them, and adults usually end up playing Expert.
Does it need the internet?
No. Everything is in the app, so it works on a plane or in the car.
How much does it cost?
It's free to play. Now and then, between rounds, it shows a short ad, never during a round. One purchase turns ads off for good.
How many countries are there?
31 so far, from Egypt and Japan to Peru and Poland, each drawn from 32 of its own things. More are on the way.
Why is New Zealand counted with Australia?
Most U.S. classrooms teach seven continents, and the one in that corner of the world is called Australia. New Zealand sits on the same part of the map, so the game sends its things home to Australia.
Is Russia in Europe or Asia?
Both. Most of its land is in Asia, but most of its people live in the European part, around Moscow. The game counts it as Europe.
Is it on iPhone and iPad?
Android first. iPhone and iPad come after that.
