Geography Quizzes

Three quick quizzes on the world's 195 countries, ten questions a round with four choices each. Play the whole world or pick a continent, and every answer shows the country's capital and land borders, so each round teaches you a little more of the map.

Quiz one continent

Each continent page has all three quizzes for its countries and a study table of every flag, capital and land border.

Which quiz to start with

The flag quiz is the gentlest: every country is in it and flags are easy to picture. The shape quiz is harder, because most people have never looked at a country on its own without its neighbours around it. The borders quiz is the real geography test: it asks you to picture the map from memory.

A good routine is one continent at a time: play its flag round until you score 8 or more, then its shapes, then its borders. The continent pages put all three in one place with a study table underneath.

Are the quizzes free?

Yes. No sign-up and no limits: play as many rounds as you like, on a phone or a computer.

All 195: the 193 UN member states plus Vatican City and Palestine. The shape quiz leaves out 37 countries too small to recognise from an outline, and the borders quiz leaves out countries with no land border.

Where does the data come from?

Country outlines and land borders come from Natural Earth's public-domain boundaries; flags from the open-source flag-icons set.
