Frequently Asked

How does the world capitals quiz work?

Each question shows a country's flag. Pick its capital city from four choices. You score a point per correct answer, out of twelve.

Why is Canberra the answer and not Sydney?

Several countries deliberately chose a capital that is not their biggest city — Australia (Canberra, not Sydney), Canada (Ottawa, not Toronto) and Switzerland (Bern, not Zurich) are the classic examples, which is exactly why they make great quiz questions.
