To play with Smarty Pins, click "Start a new game" on the top screen OK.


A tutorial starts when you play for the first time. The rule is simple, just answers as many problems as possible so that the point (kilometers) given first will not go away.


In Smarty Pins, quizzes about places are made, so drop the pin on the map and answer.


When answering incorrect answers, it is calculated how many kilometers away from the position of correct answer the pin was dropped, and will be drawn from the possessed point.


That's why I decided to try "Challenge" by clicking "Go!".


Smarty Pins suddenly started. The question that is written in the orange part of the upper left of the screen is a problem and the question that was asked is "Ellis Island welcomed millions of immigrants to America between 1892 and 1954. This American Do you know where the gateway is? "


The number "1609" under the problem shows that the first hand-held point and the bonus number of the red frame beside this are decreasing rapidly.


If you reply to the quiz brilliantly before this bonus figure goes to 0, bonus points will be added, but since this is only 15 seconds, the difficulty level is rather high. And when the bonus becomes 0, the hint of the quiz is displayed like a red frame.


Drag and drop the pins ... ...


If you click "Submit answer" in a place called "here!" You will be answered. This time Ellis Island was the correct answer.


When answering correctly to the quiz, the display "Nailed it! PERFECT ANSWER (did it! Correct answer)" appeared.


When it is incorrect, it shows how many kilometers away from the position of correct answer, it will be subtracted from the point of hand. Since this is a game over if you lose points on hand, it is necessary to advance the game carefully and boldly, aiming for a bonus point while trying not to lose hands.


However, six points were encountered and the points on hand ended and it ended. As quizzes are presented on various places around the world, if you misunderstand the country, it will be from the first question to the next.


If you have a field that is good at the wind like "If you only have quizzes related to sports, you can get a good line", click "Select a category" under the "Start a new game" icon on the top page.


Then, "Featured Topics (feature theme)" "Arts & Culture" "Science & Geography" "Sports & Games" "Entertainment" "History & Current Events" (History and Recent Events) You can also set up to ask questions from one of the six categories.


In addition, there are things related to the World Cup which is currently being held, and there are various kinds of problems from "What is the location of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States" to the land on which the film was set up? It will be done.
