About WorldWise
Want to become wiser about our ever shrinking planet? WorldWise provides a fun and informative path to picking up key facts about other countries and peoples who share the planet. Set it to STUDY MODE and you can quickly shuffle through the more than 500 researched bites of information about the 80 "Western" countries of the world. The data includes: maps, photos, history, population, GDP per capita, even life expectancies.
In PLAY MODE, WorldWise challenges players to match the clues to one of four nations. Need more info, tap another clue. The less clues you use, the more points you get. Players also receive bonus points for speed.
Repetitive play is encouraged by the random nature of the clues and the choices. In one game, Brazil might be the obvious answer when framed next to Andorra, San Marino and Luxembourg. However, in the next game, you may be challenged to distinguish Brazil from Argentina, Venezuela and Paraguay! After you choose your answer, all facts/clues about the country are revealed, further educating players and perhaps enticing them to research further on their own!
We plan to update this game continuously. Version 2 will update the app to include Asia. Version 3 will filter in Africa and the nations of Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Tonga…). Based on user interest and feedback, we hope to continuously build the database with evolving and emerging facts. So, if you're ready to take on the world, buy this app now (and enjoy free updates) or send a note of interest to hoc@doandyouwilllearn.com and together let's get a little more WorldWise!
