Find the announced capital
A capital is announced and the dots of all capitals are shown: click the right one.
10 questions per game, 100 points at most. Help halves the points.
Locate on the map each capital of a chosen area
This game does the reverse of placing the capital on the map: the name of a capital appears, and you have to click its marker among all those of the area. The markers of every capital in the area stay visible at the same time, so the right city has to be recognized among the others. The map must therefore be read carefully to find the requested marker.
The game helps you match each capital with its position, area by area. It suits students revising geography as well as curious people who want to place cities on a map. Each correct answer earns 10 points, and a help highlights the country concerned. It is played entirely by clicking, with no typing. Scores are saved in the browser, with no account to create.
How to play

- Read the name of the announced capital while the markers of the area stay visible.
- Click that capital's marker on the map to earn 10 points.
- Use the help if needed to highlight the country concerned, then move on to the next capital.

- Why is the whole-world map not offered?
