Country tours
The “Japan” quiz — Country tours. It has 25 questions in five categories: At the Table, Places to Go, Everyday Rituals, Arts and Stages, Past and Present. Questions get harder as the points go up, from 100 to 500.
The 100- and 200-point questions are open here. The rest show only their first words, and there are no answers: all of that is in the game itself.
