Geography quizzes

Eighteen free quizzes on flags, capitals and country locations, for each continent and for the whole world. Every quiz comes with a complete study list on the same page, notes on the answers people most often get wrong, and links to the full country profiles when you want to learn more.

How scoring works

  • One point per correct answer. There is no time limit and no penalty for a wrong answer.
  • Rounds of 10, 20 or every country. Questions are drawn at random each time, so a new round is a new mix.
  • Streak counts correct answers in a row; the end-of-round summary shows your longest.
  • Best scores are saved in your browser for each quiz, round length and mode, and shown on this page. They never leave your device; clearing site data removes them.
  • Review what you missed. The summary lists every wrong answer with links to the country profile and flag page, and a practice button replays just those (practice rounds don’t count as a best score).

Fair questions

Wrong options are chosen from the same region as the answer, so a European flag is not offered alongside three African ones. Flag questions also use the lookalike pairs from our flags that look alike guide, but never pair Romania with Chad or Indonesia with Monaco, which can’t be told apart reliably on a screen. In typed capitals mode, accents, capital letters and punctuation are ignored and small spelling slips are accepted. Countries with more than one capital, such as Bolivia and South Africa, accept any of them; Palestine is left out of the scored capitals questions because its capital is disputed.

Keyboard and accessibility

Press 1–4 to answer and Enter for the next question. Answers are announced to screen readers, and focus moves to each new question. Flag and map questions are visual by nature; the capitals quiz works fully without sight. Every quiz page also works without JavaScript as a study guide.
