Goal

The goal depends on the mode that the game author has established.

In Play mode, correctly identify each point taking into account its location and the content in the heading.

In Explore mode, simply navigate through each point and read its information.

In Explore and Play mode, on the first screen read the information for each point, and on the second identify them correctly.

By default, to resolve a point you have to click on the point on the map that corresponds to the name in the heading (and the description, if there is one). If the author has set “Written response”, to resolve a point you have to click on it, write their name and click on “Check”.

If the author has set a maximum time or a limit on the number of lives, you have to finish the game before the time and/or lives run out.

If there are a certain number of lives, you lose one every time you make a mistake identifying a point.

The game ends when you have seen and/or solved all the points on the map.

Score

In Explore mode, you get a score of 100 whenever you finish the game, after having seen the information in all the points.

In Play mode, you start with a score of 0 and earn up to 100 depending on how many points you resolve correctly.

The total score is divided by the number of points on the map. For example, if there are 10 points on the map, each of them adds up to 10.

When you make a mistake on a point, the maximum score you can get on that point is halved. The second time, it is divided by four, and the third time, the score for that point is zero.
