Question 1 of 10
1. The first city I followed Waldo to is enormous and has more than 15 million people. I tracked Waldo along the Huangpu River, into an area known as "The Bund." Across the river there is a gigantic tower, the Oriental Pearl Tower. Where in the world is Waldo? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. The next place I came across Waldo was in a city on an island. I caught a glimpse of him in a crowd at Kannai, a historic port area by the waterfront. Behind him I saw the city's Marine Tower, the largest inland lighthouse in the world. This city also contains the stadium where the 2002 FIFA World Cup final was played. Where is Waldo now? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. That Waldo is a tricky fellow, he was able to get away again. The next time I saw him was in the background of an episode of "The Wiggles". He was in a boat in front of the city's Opera House beside the Harbour Bridge. What harbour city is Waldo hiding in now? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Next Waldo led me on a chase across the Pacific. We ended up in a city just off the Pacific coast in South America, that despite its name, is not famous for any type of beans. I saw Waldo run past the Monastery of San Francisco into the historic Plaza Mayor, at the city's center. Where has Waldo brought me now? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Before I could even enjoy the Pacific beaches, Waldo was off again, taking me in a chase across South America, all the way to a city on the Atlantic coast. I quickly forgot about the Pacific with all the magnificent beaches that I saw in this city. However, as I got further into the city I became immersed in an enormous crowd of people. There seemed to some sort of party or Carnival going on and it was huge. There must have been nearly half a million people! Everywhere around me I saw people playing soccer and dancing the samba dance. What partying city are Waldo and I in now? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. After South America, I followed Waldo northwards into the good ol' USA. We ended up in a city that was instrumental in the founding of the United States. Among the important historical sites I saw the Independence Hall and the Franklin Institute, and I even glimpsed Waldo in the Liberty Bell Center running past the famous bell. What city has Waldo led us to now? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Brrrrr! The next city Waldo went to to hide is quite a bit colder than the others we've visited, especially in winter. I spotted Waldo ice skating at the city's center, where two rivers meet, called the Forks. Next I saw him hiding amongst some ice sculptures at the Festival du Voyageur, celebrating the early French explorers of the region. What city, called the Heart of the Continent for its location in the middle of North America, has Waldo brought me to now? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Thankfully we were out of the snow soon and into...the rain and wind. Waldo had brought us across the Atlantic to a European city located on an island. Unfortunately we missed out on being able to experience the city's famous New Year's celebration, called Hogmanay, although I'm glad I didn't have to eat any haggis. Waldo found a great place to hide in the South Bridge Vaults, a series of 18th century tunnels under the city, used for illegal trade and reportedly serial killers' victims as well! What city are Waldo and I in now? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. The next place I found Waldo was in a European city that was in the middle of World War II. I saw him dart into the city's Olympic Park, where many events of the 1972 Summer Games where held. I followed him to the city's center called the Marienplatz a large, open square by City Hall. However, I lost Waldo when he darted into a huge festival that draws over five million people every year! Everywhere I looked I saw carnivals, sausages and of course beer! We were in the middle of Oktoberfest which takes place in what city? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. After Oktoberfest, Waldo was on the move again, this time to a city known for being the setting of a very famous movie. I finally caught Waldo near the Hassan II Mosque at the city's port, one of the largest in the world, that is very important to Northern Africa. We also visited the city's medina, the walled section of the city, that is home to many historical fountains and religious sites. Where have Waldo and I ended our journey? Hint

The party in Rio de Janeiro was simply the Carnival or Carnaval, which takes place before the beginning of Lent every year. In 2008, more than 500,000 people were recorded as having attended the Carnival in a single day. That is one of the main reasons Rio receives more international visitors than any other city in the Southern hemisphere.

Interestingly enough, the final match of that tournament was scheduled to be played in Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã stadium.

The entire Red River Valley which includes Winnipeg was first explored by Europeans in the 1730s by French explorers, or voyageurs, which is a major reason why it contains a large population of francophones. Winnipeg is the capital of the Canadian province of Manitoba.

Hogmanay is the Scottish New Year's celebration and the party in Edinburgh is normally the largest, with annually attracts 300,000 visitors. The South Bridge vaults, or Edinburgh vaults were made in the late 18th century, in tunnels below one of the city's bridges.

It is a common tourist attraction as it was used for illegal trade and meetings over 200 years ago. Many people believe that the victims from the infamous Burke and Hare murders were brought into the vaults but this has not been proven.

Medinas are very common in North Africa, they are a walled quarter of a city, with palaces, mosques and monuments.

The streets of a medina are very narrow and maze-like which is why car traffic is not allowed in medinas.
