    “My wife and I made a daily guessing game together. Unlike others of the genre that we enjoy playing, an explicit goal of this one is teaching you about the world as you play it. It’s quite simple, using Wikipedia and factbook.json for information about the countries, but it incorporates a few ideas that I think are fun and there’s a lot I’d like to experiment with.”
