About this quiz
Flags are the fastest way into world geography. Each round of this quiz shows one national flag and four country names; pick the right one before the twenty-five-second timer runs out. Answer quickly for a speed bonus of up to 50 points, and keep a run of correct answers going to build a streak bonus on top.
Easy mode draws the wrong answers from the region you chose, so you learn to tell neighbours apart. Hard mode goes further. It uses flags that are famously alike, such as Chad and Romania, Indonesia and Monaco, or Australia and New Zealand, along with bordering countries and names that are easy to mix up, like Niger and Nigeria.
After every answer a fact card shows the country’s name in Arabic and English, its capital and its currency, so even a wrong guess teaches you something. Choose All regions for the full set of 195 countries, or focus on Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, Oceania, the Arab World, the Gulf or the Maghreb.
