Map settings

Choose what to do with each territory whose political status is disputed. Every option is separate, so you can ask about one, mark another and fold a third into its neighbour.

Zoom to Jump the map to a continent. This only moves the view; it does not change the quiz or the score.

Coverage Choose what can be asked.

Only the three territories below are drawn as their own shape on this map, so only they can be set separately. Other contested areas, such as Palestine, Northern Cyprus and Somaliland, are part of a neighbour's outline and cannot be picked out on their own.

How to play the map quiz

Read the question at the top of the screen, then click the matching country on the interactive world map. A correct answer flashes the country green and plays a short chime; a wrong answer flashes red and tells you which country you actually clicked, so you can try again. Your score, mistake count and progress bar update after every answer, and the quiz ends with a summary of how you did in each region.

Quiz features

Scroll or pinch to zoom and drag to pan across the map, with a one-click Reset that returns to the full view.
A precise dot cursor instead of an arrow, so the pointer never covers the coastline while you aim at small countries.
Three question modes: Countries only, Capitals only, or Mixed questions drawn from both.
Map toggles for the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania, so you can drill into one continent at a time.
Practise what you missed: the Practice failed button asks exactly the questions you got wrong, over and over, until they are all right.
Per territory settings in Map settings for Taiwan, Western Sahara and Kosovo, and a coverage list for turning whole continents or single countries off.
A trackpad on a phone, so the crosshair can be steered with a thumb. It is hidden on a computer.
A Skip button that reveals the answer for two seconds.
Works offline. The entire quiz is one HTML file with no server, no accounts and no downloads.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries are included?

This map quiz covers 171 countries across five regions: the Americas (North, Central and South), Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania. Antarctica is not included. A small number of the smallest territories are represented on the map but are not always asked about.

How are country borders shown?

Borders are simplified cartography intended for general education. National borders are political, and some are disputed or subject to change. This map should not be treated as an authoritative depiction of any territory, and it is not suitable for legal, academic or official reference.

Which capitals are used?

Each country is paired with its generally recognised capital city. Where a country has more than one capital, or where the status of a capital is politically sensitive, the quiz uses the most commonly cited answer.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. The quiz runs entirely in your browser, and this release collects no personal data and shows no ads.

Is it really free?

Yes. The quiz is free to use, with no ads and no sign-up in this release.
