Recognize the flag
A flag appears: which country is it? Type it or pick from four.
10 questions per game, 100 points at most. Help halves the points.
Identify each country from its flag, one at a time
This geography quiz tests recognition of world flags. A flag appears, and you have to say which country it represents. You can type the country's name for 10 points, or choose the right answer from four options for 5 points. Flags are shown as vector images. The regions range from Europe to Oceania, or cover the whole world.
Recognizing a flag helps remember countries and where they are. Typing the name earns more than the four-option choice, because it requires recalling the name without a hint. When you are unsure, the help shows the country's capital, which points you in the right direction. Names are accepted in the site's four languages, ignoring accents and capital letters. The game suits students, the curious and anyone revising.
