How the map quiz works
In the default mode a country is filled in blue and circled, and you choose its name from four countries in the same region, which are usually its neighbours. This mode works with a keyboard (keys 1–4) and a screen reader’s button list, though the map itself is visual. In “find it” mode the map names a country and you click or tap it; a wrong click is marked in orange and the correct country is then highlighted.
3 countries are too small to click reliably as shapes and also appear as dots: Bahrain, Maldives and Singapore. Grey areas without a country in the quiz, such as N. Cyprus, Somaliland and Kosovo, are drawn for context but are not asked about.
Clues for finding countries
- China has the most land neighbours here (14): find it first and the countries around fall into place.
- 10 countries are landlocked: Afghanistan, Bhutan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Mongolia, Nepal, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
- 8 countries have no land border at all: Bahrain, Cyprus, Japan, Maldives, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Taiwan. Look for them offshore.
- The quiz’s wrong options come from the same region, so learning each region’s outline (below) is the fastest way to improve.
