Learn the map. Every country, every capital, every flag.

It covers the 195 countries of the world and the 50 US states. Every name, capital and flag was checked against more than one source before it went on a map.

Map quizzes for every continent

Start with the whole planet in the world map quiz, where we name a country and you click it, with three tries each and a colored map at the end showing what you found first time. Or narrow it down: there is a quiz for Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, North America and South America, and for the regions people actually get stuck on, such as Central America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and East Asia.

Smaller sets are the faster way in. Africa makes far more sense learned as a handful of neighborhoods than as one long list, and the Caribbean is mostly about telling small islands apart. Countries too small to click get a ring target, so Malta, Singapore and the Pacific islands are fair questions rather than a pixel hunt.

Flags, from the easy ones to the lookalikes

The flag quiz shows a flag and gives you four countries, all from the same region, so the wrong answers look right. That is the point: a quiz where Japan sits next to Brazil teaches nothing. Other flag quizzes work the reverse way (we name the country, you pick its flag), split the world by continent, or put all 195 flags on one screen for naming from memory.

Most flags fall into families once you look for them: the Nordic crosses, the red, gold and green of West Africa, the red, white, black and green of the Arab world. Learn the family, then learn the one detail that separates its members.

US states and capitals

The 50 states quiz asks you to type all 50 from memory, in any order, while the map fills in. Separate quizzes cover finding each state on the map, picking capitals from four options and typing capitals cold.

The capitals that cost people points are the ones that are not the famous city. Albany, not New York City. Sacramento, not Los Angeles. Springfield, Tallahassee and Harrisburg belong on the same list.

Printable maps and worksheets

The world, the US and the main continents also come as printables. The blank world map and the blank US map each have four versions, as a PNG and a US Letter PDF: blank with borders, outline only, numbered with an answer key on page 2, and one with the names printed on. Worksheets add fill-in capital tables in two shuffled versions, A and B, so the person at the next desk cannot copy.

How the facts are checked

Country names and capitals come from the CIA World Factbook (its final edition, early 2026), checked against Wikidata and Natural Earth. US state capitals are checked against two independent sources. Flags are compared with the reference files on Wikimedia Commons, and borders come from Natural Earth, which is public domain.

A country here means one of the 193 UN member states or the two UN observer states, Vatican City and Palestine. Taiwan, Kosovo, Western Sahara, Greenland and Puerto Rico are an optional setting, and the borders and names policy explains why. Names are the current official ones, such as Türkiye, Czechia and Eswatini, but the typing quizzes still accept Turkey, Czech Republic, Swaziland and Ivory Coast.

Who it is for

Trivia players who want the map of Central Asia to stop being a blur. Travelers checking which countries actually share a border. Anyone who learned the capitals at school and would like them back. And teachers, who put the quizzes on a projector and hand out the printables afterward.

Every quiz has a Learn mode with no score: hover over any place to see its name, capital and flag. It is the best place to start a set you have not seen before, before the timer goes on.
