Mexico Minefield
From ancient ruins to colorful festivals, twelve questions take you on a trip through Mexico's history, culture, food and landscapes. One wrong step sets off the mine. How far can you make it?
About this quiz
Mexico is home to great ancient civilizations, one of the world's richest food cultures, snow-capped volcanoes, desert, jungle and thousands of kilometers of coastline. Its traditions, art and flavors are known all over the world, but how much do you really know about the country behind them?
This quiz is played on a field of hexagons. Your avatar stands on a tile and the three tiles below it each show an answer. Tap the one you think is right to step onto it: a right answer turns the tile green and moves you on, a wrong answer turns it red and ends the game. Cross all twelve rows to make a path of green tiles and win.
The questions cover history, geography, language, art, food, festivals and sport. You have four minutes, and there is no way back once you step on a tile.
