The Mountains & Summits Quiz
The world roof: great ranges and the peaks that crown them. This pack draws from 37 real places, and the quiz is not multiple choice: you get an unlabelled 3D globe, the name of a place, and 10 seconds to pin where it is. Points scale with how close you land and how fast you commit, so a near miss beats a wild stab and knowing beats guessing.
These are feature targets: the answer is the water, sand or rock itself, so a pin anywhere on it counts, and the smaller the target the more it pays. It is a different skill from city-pointing, and it finds different gaps.
How a run works
A run is 10 places sampled fresh from the pack each time, timed, and scored server-side onto the pack's own leaderboard. Your best run stands as your entry, and you can grind it down (or up) as long as you like. Free accounts get one ranked run a day; premium is unlimited.
