A first quiz to find your bearings
A country name appears: rotate the globe, zoom in, then select its territory. Start with Europe to explore one region at a time.
Choose your geography quiz
Four game modes, each available for Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, Oceania and the world. Choose a topic to practise, then your region.
World geography games for different skills
Geography games can train different skills: recalling names, locating places and recognising clues. Choose one of these country games to practise on an interactive 3D globe, then switch modes to test another skill.
- Countries of the world quiz: recall country names from memory with the keyboard or by voice, in any order.
- Locate countries: read a country name, then click its territory on the globe.
- World flags quiz: identify the flag shown, then click the country it belongs to.
- World capitals quiz: read a capital name, then find its country on the globe.
Start with a familiar region before combining what you know in the world game. Each of the four modes is available for six selections in the directory above:
How can you practise geography with quizzes?
Start with one region
Choose a continent to limit the countries you need to practise. The quiz page offers a short round to get started; the full selection is also available before you begin.
Look for landmarks on the globe
Rotate the globe and zoom in before answering. Connect a country’s shape to a coast, an island or a neighbour: these landmarks can help you find it from another angle.
Vary what you need to recall
After practising locations, try flags or capitals in the same region. To practise recall without a suggested name, try naming countries from memory, then expand to the world.
Questions about geography quizzes
Is the geography quiz free?
Yes. All four modes and six regions are free to play, with no signup. The game runs in your browser, with no app to install.
What do you find in the capitals quiz?
You are given a capital’s name and select its country’s territory on the 3D globe. For example, Paris means France. The quiz does not ask you to place the city on the map.
Do you need a microphone to name countries?
No. You can type the names. Voice input is optional when your browser supports it and you grant microphone permission.
Can you play on a phone?
Yes, using a browser that supports JavaScript and WebGL. Tap the country to answer in the location, flags and capitals modes. Rotate the globe and zoom in to target small territories.
