What the map tells you about each one

The paragraph the game shows when you find each one. Reading them first is not cheating.

Akobo River: The Akobo rises in Ethiopia and joins the Pibor. Its full mapped course continues across the national border.
Bahr el Zeraf: This branch separates from the Bahr el Jebel and rejoins the White Nile farther north.
Kangen River: The Kangen is a southern tributary in the Pibor–Sobat river system.
Pibor River: The Pibor belongs to the eastern Nile drainage; its upper tributaries are distinct named rivers.
Sobat River: The Sobat joins the White Nile just upstream of Malakal. Its upstream tributaries include the Baro and Pibor.
White Nile: The complete named mainstem runs from Lake Albert to the Blue Nile confluence at Khartoum; the upper reach is also called the Albert Nile and Bahr el Jebel.

How this one works

How many rivers are on the map?

6. Every one of them is on the map, and a run asks 6 of them. Pass a round and the places you found in it drop out of the pool, so the next run is what you have left.

What is a round?

A run of 6 questions, and 5 right passes it. One round covers the whole map, and the counter at the top of the South Sudan page counts the ones behind you. Passing is what banks a round's finds: miss the mark and nothing is taken off the map, so every place that round asked about is still there to be asked again. A round is always the places you have not found yet, and when fewer than five are left it is topped up with a few you have found as review, so the last round is never one or two questions. Three quarters of it passes it.

Can I start the map over?

Yes. "Reset this map" under the counter puts all 6 back in the pool and sets the rounds to zero the moment you press it, so the whole map is there to be found again from nothing. It clears this map only; the other maps of South Sudan keep their progress.

Do I need an account?

No. The game plays in the page, and a guest's progress is kept in their own browser. Signing in carries it between devices and earns XP for a run.

What happens when I get one wrong?

The map names what you actually hit, then lights up the right answer in green and tells you something about the place. Missing one is how most of this map gets learned.
