Where in the World?

A famous name, a landmark, a moment in history. Where does it belong?

How to play & scoring

Read the clue and choose one of four countries. Birthplaces and locations use present-day borders.

Worked example

If a clue asks where a person was born, choose the country containing that birthplace under present-day borders. Their nationality or the country where they later became famous may lead to a different answer.

Examples illustrate the rules. They are not real country statistics or answers to your round.

What to watch for

Identify what the clue asks: a birthplace, the location of a heritage site or a historical connection. The revealed source lets you follow that specific fact instead of relying on a familiar name alone.
