Geography quizzes: countries, capitals and continents
Countries, capitals, flags and continents: 2 free geography quizzes to test your mental map in under a minute.
Quizzes to travel in seconds
Countries, capitals, continents, borders and flags: geography is full of lines we think we know that turn out to hold surprises. Our geography quizzes take you from one continent to another in a matter of seconds, no atlas required.
Borders that are not always obvious
Borders move, names change and some boundaries, like the one between Europe and Asia, are only conventions. Each quiz clearly states its sorting rule, so the rules of the game are the same for everyone.
A fact for every country
At the end of each game, every card is explained: capital, flag details, records or historical facts. A good way to revise before an exam or a trip, or to see whether your mental map holds up.
Frequently asked questions
How many countries are there in the world?
There are generally said to be 193 member states of the United Nations, plus two observer states, the Vatican and Palestine. Other territories have declared independence without being recognised by every country.
How many continents are there?
It depends on the convention. French schools often count five or six, while English-speaking countries usually count seven, splitting America in two. The boundaries between continents are conventions too.
How can I get better at geography quizzes?
Look at a map regularly, not just one of your own country. Flags, capitals and neighbouring countries are easier to remember together. The answers at the end of each game then help the details stick.
