Pick a journey and follow its dotted route across the map. At every stop you read a short lesson, answer two questions and collect a stamp for your passport.
How it works
Every journey is a string of stops along a real route. Each stop takes a few minutes.
Follow the camel along the dotted route to the next stop on the map.
Read a short lesson about what happened there, plus a “Did you know?”.
Two quick questions. A wrong answer is fine: try again until you get it.
Stamp your passport, unlock the next stop and keep travelling.
