How the world countries quiz works

Open the game, keep the region set to World, and type each country you can remember. Correct answers light up on the map, giving you a visual record of your progress.

The game accepts many common aliases and spelling variants, so the focus stays on geography knowledge rather than exact formal naming.

How to improve your score

The best way to improve is to treat the world as connected clusters. Learn the Balkans, the Baltic states, the Gulf countries, Central America, the Caribbean, and the Pacific island nations as groups.

After each attempt, look at the countries you missed and practise the continent where most gaps appeared.
