Name someone who wrote the words or music of a national anthem
Our answer book holds 86 answers to “Name someone who wrote the words or music of a national anthem”, from the first thing anyone would say to names almost nobody would think of. Most people go straight for Joseph Haydn, Francis Scott Key or Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, so those barely lift the rocket. It is a fairly short list: only 21 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
Everybody knows the biggest names. Think of the minor figure, the old favourite or the one most people have forgotten. You will find it in stage 23, “Flags & Fanfares”, of the Music mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
