Travel literacy disguised as a party game.

Most travel guides bury cultural etiquette in chapter 12. Culture Brawl makes it the game. 100 TRUE/FALSE statements about real customs across 60+ countries — the kind of stuff you'd want to know BEFORE you offended an entire street market.

01 — REAL FACTS

Every statement is a real cultural rule.

The Italian cappuccino timing thing. The Japanese chopstick funeral taboo. The Greek Moutza insult. We didn't invent any — they're all documented and we cite them in the explanation.

02 — RESPECTFUL FRAMING

Teaches "how to be a polite guest" — not "weird customs."

We avoid the "isn't this strange?" tone. The framing is always "here's what locals appreciate" — because cultural respect is a backpacker superpower.

03 — 50/50 TRUE & FALSE

Roughly 60% TRUE, 40% FALSE.

You can't game it by always picking one. Each FALSE statement comes with the actual correct fact in the explanation — so even wrong answers teach you something.

Strictly enforced by attendants. No swimsuit shortcuts. Same rule across most Nordic countries.
