Do you know what the French départements are? Apart from their name, they have a capital and they are assigned a number that is used for license plate, postal code, and more.
This quiz game is about them and has several game modes:
- Learn: Provides a tabular arrangment of the départements. This is very useful in 1996 (when it is hard to come by information in the internet).
- Trial: Run a trial exam on beginner or expert level. On the beginner level, you are presented two out of three pieces of information - only the third needs to be typed in. On the expert level, you need to deduce everything based on only one piece of information.
- Game: Corresponds to the trial mode but this time you run against a clock and your success rate is tracked. You start on the beginner level and, if sufficiently successful, are promoted to the expert level and continue there. There is even a highscore which is based on the number of correct answers.
The game language is German - but you only need to know some key words in order to play it.
