Capitals: name them all
Type the name of a capital: if it belongs to the area, it is added to the list. In any order, before time runs out.
Countries with several capitals (South Africa, Bolivia...) accept each of them. Accents and capital letters are ignored; Enter forgives a small typo.
Name the capitals of an area, country by country
Naming all the capitals means typing, from memory, the capital of every country in an area. Answers can be typed in any order, and each correct answer fills in the row of its country. The game suits anyone who wants to learn the capitals of Europe, Africa, Asia or the world, since each name has to be recalled without choosing it from a list. It helps students revising and curious people who want to check what they know.
The timer runs from 3 to 20 minutes depending on the number of countries in the area. You can give up the round to see the forgotten capitals, then start again. The best score per area is saved in the browser, which makes it possible to track progress from one round to the next. The game is free, played with no account needed, in one of the site's four languages.
How to play
- Choose an area, such as Europe, Africa or the whole world, then start the timer.
- Type the name of each capital, in any order, with no list of options to choose from.
- Watch each correct answer fill in the row of the matching country in the area's list.
- Give up to see the forgotten capitals, then start again to improve your best score.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an account to name the capitals?
- No. The game is free, with no account needed. No sign-up is asked before a round starts, and the best score per area is saved in the browser used to play.
- How long does a round last?
- The timer runs from 3 to 20 minutes, depending on the number of countries in the chosen area. A larger area therefore gives a longer round, with more capitals to find.
- What happens when a capital cannot be found?
- You can give up the round to see the capitals you did not find. Then simply play the same area again to try to remember them.
- Are countries with several capitals accepted?
- Yes, for countries with several capitals, each one is accepted. South Africa (Pretoria, Cape Town, Bloemfontein), Bolivia (Sucre, La Paz) and the Netherlands (Amsterdam, The Hague) are examples.
