How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a famous mountain range” — not generic advice.
Geography prompts punish the obvious: everyone reaches for the same famous places first.
Your edge here is Atlas Mountains: specific, valid, and far from the crowd's first thought. If it feels slightly too obscure to say out loud, that's usually the sign it's worth real points. Bank Drakensberg as your backup — same logic, different answer.
The trap is Himalayas — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Alps is the same story. Typing either one puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with most of the player base at 10 points.
Notice how Appalachian Mountains (Rare) outscores Himalayas (Plankton) without being obscure at all. Rarity isn't about difficulty — it's about what the crowd overlooks.
Think in clusters, not singles. Tien Shan, Ural Mountains, and Drakensberg sit in the same rarity band — knowing one should unlock the others when the clock is running.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 10 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
