South America map quiz: find all 12 countries

Learn Our World

A free geography quiz: we name a country, you find it on a map with no labels.

How to play

• Click the country named at the top of the screen. Zoom in for small countries; tiny ones also have a circle you can tap.
• Rounds: every country in the mode you pick is asked once, in random order. The bar under the header shows your progress.
• Green means you got it right, red means you missed it. Answered countries keep their colour and name, so the map fills in as you play.
• Missed one? The right answer is shown in yellow. Click the map or press Enter to carry on.
• Skip (or press S) to come back to a country at the end of the round. Show me reveals it, but counts as a miss.
• Modes: the whole world (197 countries), one continent, or All past mistakes to practise every country you've ever missed. At the end of a round, Practise these misses replays just the ones you missed in that round. Countries that aren't part of the current set are faded out and can't be clicked.
• Challenge a friend: tap Quiz ▾ and choose Challenge a friend. You get 10 questions; send the link and your friends play the same ones, then send theirs back.
• Flag quiz: tap Quiz ▾ and choose Find by flag to be shown flags instead of names (world maps). Switching starts a new round.
• Learn mode (or press L): every country is named; click one to see its flag, capital, population, size, languages, currency and neighbours. Your quiz round is paused and carries on when you switch back; switching while a question is waiting counts that question as a miss, since you could look it up.
• Streaks: your current streak is how many you've got right in a row; your longest streak is saved in this browser.
