Where's It From? support
The questions people ask most, then an email address if yours is not here.
How do I play?
Every country is drawn from pictures of its own things, and a few pictures came from somewhere else. Tap one that doesn't belong, then tap the continent it came from on the map at the bottom. It flies home and you get a short fact about it.
What changes between Easy, Tricky and Expert?
Easy lists exactly what to find, with pictures. Tricky only says what kind of thing each one is, like something to eat. Expert lists nothing, and after you pick the continent it asks which country, out of three.
How do hints work?
While you are looking, each hint narrows it down: first what kind of thing it is, then where it is from, and a gold circle on the board gets smaller each time.
After you tap a find, Hint helps with where it goes instead: it rules out continents until one is left. There is a short wait between hints.
What is Explore?
Pick Explore on any country. Everything on the board is from that country, and you get a list to find, like 3 bald eagles and the Statue of Liberty. There's no clock.
What is the Daily Drift?
One board a day, the same for everyone. The clock runs, a wrong tap adds a few seconds and so does a hint. Your first try each day is your score; after that it is practice.
What are stars and stickers?
Finishing a round earns a star. You get one more for using no hints, and another for picking every continent right the first time.
Every thing you send home becomes a sticker in your passport, on the page of the country it comes from.
What is the card between rounds?
On Android, every few minutes of play, a card shows one of our other games. It never shows during a round, and you can close it after 3 seconds. Going to Google Play from it asks a grown-up question first.
How do I turn ads off?
Tap Remove ads on the World Tour screen. It asks a grown-up question, then Google Play handles the purchase. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
On a new device, or after reinstalling, tap Restore purchase at the bottom of the World Tour screen.
I got a new phone. Where did my passport go?
Progress stays on the device where it was played and is not copied to a new one, so a new phone starts fresh. Restore purchase brings back Remove ads.
