What is the Explore the Maps Challenge?
Every fortnight, we will share with you the icons and hints of famous places of any one country here. When you find that place, you have to answer it in the quiz. You have to choose the correct answer from the four options given below each question.
Country of this week’s challenge: Czechia
Quick facts
