How to play

  1. Read the capital city at the top, then tap the country it belongs to on the world map.
  2. After each tap the right country turns green, and a wrong choice turns red, so you learn the answer either way.
  3. Use the zoom buttons for small countries, then scroll the map to move around. A round is ten questions.
  4. Your best score is saved on this device. Play again for a new set of countries.

Controls: mouse, touch or keyboard. Made by CalcoTools.

Tips and strategy

  • Think of the region first: a capital like Nairobi or Lusaka narrows the answer to a part of Africa before you tap.
  • Zoom in to two or three times for Europe and South East Asia, where the countries are small.
  • Use the green answer: if you miss Ulaanbaatar once, you will remember where Mongolia sits next time.
  • Country names are not on the map on purpose. Learn the shapes.
