Players each select a passport which contains the identity of a child who they will become during the game. The passport also contains a list of countries to which they must travel in order to win the game. To be fair, each passport will require the same total amount in order to win. To travel, players must earn money by answering trivia questions about these 14 countries, which can then be spent on flights to different countries on their list. Trivia questions include physical geography (location and shape), flags and capital cities. All game components are provided in PDF and DOCX format for ease of printing and also to allow you to customise the game to include different countries and/or different trivia questions.
