Players and the map

District Quiz is for two to four players, each with a pawn of their own colour. Play against the computer, pass one phone round the table, or play with friends on their own phones.

The map shows Nepal's 77 districts, tinted by province like a school atlas, with the province borders printed darker. Pinch, use the mouse wheel or the + and − buttons to zoom in, and drag to move round the map.

Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur are tiny at the scale of the whole country, so the Kathmandu valley is printed again, four and a half times larger, in a box in the empty corner of the map. A tap in the box counts as a tap on the district it shows.

A round

Each round asks about one district. Everyone answers at the same time, and nobody sees another player's answer until all of them are in. There is no prize for answering first, so take the time you need.

Then comes the reveal. Each player's pawn is set down on the district they chose, the right district glows gold with its name on a tag, and a note gives its headquarters, its province and what it is known for.

A district is not asked twice in a game until every district in play has been asked once.

Find it

The name of a district is shown, in English and in Nepali. Find it on the map.

Your first tap marks a district in your colour. Tap a different one to change your mind. When you are sure, tap the marked district again or press Lock in. Once your answer is locked in it cannot be changed.

The map never names the district you tap, so tapping round the map to find the right label does not work. You have to know it.

Name it

One district lights up on the map, and four names are shown: its own and three districts close to it. Tap the name you think is right. One tap answers.

Winning

After the last round the player with the most points wins.

If two or more players are level on points, the one who got more districts exactly right wins. Players still level share the win, and if everyone is level the game is a draw.

An online table can set a time per turn. A player who runs out of time scores nothing for that round.

Questions

Find it (a name is shown, tap the district), Name it (a district lights up, pick its name from four), or Both, one of each in turn starting with Find it.

Rounds

Ten rounds, twenty rounds, or every district: all 77, or every district of the province you chose, each asked once.

Area

All of Nepal, or one of the seven provinces. The map zooms to that province, the others are printed faint, and only its districts are asked and can be chosen.
