User guide
Adventure Mode:
The goal is to progress from city to city, where each quiz will get more and more difficult. You must receive at least 80% to travel to the next city. If you score above 90% on a quiz in Adventure mode, you will unlock contents in the Library.
Library:
View photos, maps, and information on places and countries around the world. Unlock more countries and places by earning an A on quizzes in adventure mode. Select the Map option in the library to view a fully scrollable, simplified world map.
Quiz Mode:
Take a quiz of 20 random questions.
Automatic Saving:
If you are using a card compatible with the FAT file system, your progress will be automatically saved after each quiz in adventure mode. If Geografika is not saving data after you power off the DS, try patching the file.
