Plug in your second controller and head back to quiz mode and start a short quiz (40 questions). Now put both controllers and the same team and just finish all the questions. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, as soon as you finish the achievement is yours.

The quickest way to get this is to start up a new quiz with any amount of questions. From there, there are two ways to gain this achievement. You can either progress through the questions until you find one you know and answer it swiftly in less than 3 seconds or you can keep hitting a random answer without reading the question and sooner or later you will coincidentally get the right answer.

This can be tricky to gain as it requires a bit of luck. What will need to happen is you and your opponent will need to choose a stat that you both have the same value in, you will then need to pick another stat and beat your opponent.

This is easiest done with the Aquatic Life series of cards as the red-bellied piranha, clownfish, seahorse, sea star, octopus, clownfish, pufferfish and blue fish all have the same speed stat.

This can be achieved with two controllers, so if you can't seem to get the AI to help you out here that's always an option.

This is a very lengthy achievement and has to be done with 2 controllers, both on different teams. The quickest way to burn through this is to play short quizzes (40 questions) on easy difficulty. Remember: you actually need to win for the game to count!

This may or may not come naturally, so take a look at the answers guide linked under Nat Geo Researcher and choose the incorrect answers. I would highly suggest you try for this after you get The Big 50.

The National Geography Bee is a quiz competition for individual students, testing knowledge of the political, human, cultural, and physical geography of all parts of the world. Students first take the free Online Regional Qualifying Exam (ORQE) which is available in the fall. Approximately 60% of students nationwide who take the ORQE pass it to move on to the Regional Finals. A second chance ORQE is available beginning in January for those who do not pass on their first try. Regional Finals are held both online and in-person from October-May and feature paragraph length quiz questions with questions moving from harder to easier information on each topic.

Game Play at Regionals & Nationals: Students ring in with a buzzer to answer the questions; if they are correct they get the point; if not, they cannot ring in again on that question.

Nationals: The top 50% of students in each age division at each Regional Finals qualify for the 2024 National Geography Bee National Championships on Memorial Day weekend in Orlando, which also feature buzzer-based rounds in this format. In 2023, 877 students competed at the National Geography Bee National Championships, and we are expecting over 1000 in 2024.

For students competing in the Middle School and Elementary School Divisions, the National Geography Bee is a three-stage competition, consisting of an Online Regional Qualifying Exam, the Regional Finals, and the National Championships. Students can also qualify for the International Geography Championships by competing in the National Geography Bee.

The first stage of the National Geography Bee for the Middle and Elementary School Divisions is the Online Regional Qualifying Exam (ORQE). Prior to taking the ORQE, teachers, administrators, parents, or another adult family member must first create a free sponsor account at www.iac-exams.com. Once they have created an account, sponsors will receive the link to the exams, and students can take the ORQE at any point. There is no cost to take the ORQE and there is no hard deadline for students to take it: the ORQE will remain available until the registration deadline for the last Regional Finals passes. However, we recommend that students take the ORQE as early as possible in the academic year so that they have more time to prepare for the Regional Finals and compete at up to 3 Regional Finals sites if they qualify.

There is no penalty for an incorrect answer, so students should answer each question as best as they can. The exam is designed so that on harder questions, students can often rule out 1 or 2 answer choices. About half of the questions have a visual component (i.e. a map, photograph, chart, etc.); for visually-impaired students who need to have the exam read out loud to them, these questions are not counted and their scores are prorated.

Students should use the ORQE versions from prior years to prepare (see Practice Resources). They should also look over the Level 1 and 2 capitals in the National Capitals Study Guide, as well as know US state capitals, major US and world cities, bodies of water, prominent countries, and landforms. Nationwide, approximately 60% of students who take the ORQE will qualify for the Regional Finals. The qualifying scores vary from year to year and by age division, but typically students need to answer about 20-25 of the questions correctly in order to qualify. If students do not qualify on the ORQE, a second-chance ORQE is available beginning in January so that they can try again.

The second stage of the National Geography Bee for the Middle and Elementary School Divisions is the Regional Finals. The Regional Finals are held throughout the year both online and in person. A full list of Regional Finals is available here on the Registration page. Students who have qualified on the Online Regional Qualifying Exam may compete up to 3 times at the Regional Finals. The Regional Finals tournaments are held in conjunction with the Regional Finals for the National History Bee and National Science Bee, so students who qualified on the ORQEs for those subjects can compete in all 3 events.

At in-person Regional tournaments, typically the Geography Bee is held in the early afternoon; the History Bee is held in the morning, and the Science Bee is held in the late afternoon. At online tournaments, the Bees for two subjects are held on a Saturday, and the third is held on Sunday afternoon. The time and day that each subject is contested on an online event varies from one tournament to another, so that students who cannot compete on Saturdays (or Sundays) will have options to play all subjects at their preferred time over the course of the academic year.

All questions at the Regional Finals are played using a buzzer system and take the form of a short paragraph. Please see here for sample questions to practice with. The questions are read out loud to students, and the clues in each question are arranged in descending order of difficulty. Students buzz in as soon as they think they know the answer. If they are correct, they score a point; if they are incorrect, they cannot ring in again on that question. Three incorrect answers kills the question. If a student is the third student incorrect before the end of the question, they lose a point (because they have killed the question for the remaining students who now are unable to hear the rest of the question). If they are the first or second student incorrect, or if they are the third student to answer incorrectly but the question has already been read to completion, they do not lose a point.

Once students reach 5 points in a round, they are done for the rest of the round. This ensures that if one student is particularly gifted, they will not run away with most of the questions while the other students get frustrated. However, students can earn up to 10 bonus points in each round depending on how quickly they go out (i.e. a student who answers the first 5 questions correctly scores 15 for the round).

Each Regional Finals is played using one of three question sets: Red, White, or Blue. There is no difference between the sets in terms of content focus or difficulty. Students can compete at up to 3 Regional Finals, once on each question set. Each question set has a Study Guide that is compiled once the questions for that question set have been written, so students who are competing at a tournament should review the correct Study Guide in advance! The Study Guides do not contain information on every question in the tournament, but they typically reference things to know about harder topics that will come up.

Students and their families must register for each Regional Finals tournament on the Registration Page. Typically, the deadline is 12 days in advance of each tournament, but please check the Registration Page to be sure as this may vary for some events. After the deadline passes, a wait list is maintained for each tournament: we will attempt to accommodate as many students as possible, but we need to ensure sufficient staff first. The cost to compete in the Regional Finals of the National Geography Bee is $47 per tournament with a $10 surcharge if registered for after the deadline. There is no obligation to bring a question reader or buzzer system to the tournament; IAC will provide these. An email will be sent in the week prior to each tournament with further logistical details, as well as within a week after the tournament with a tournament wrap-up and information on additional chances to compete.
