World Countries Quiz

Two ways to play, your choice: the memory challenge, where you type the names and all 197 countries fill in against the clock, with no options given; or the multiple-choice quizzes, 9 sets of 10 questions across three levels — populations, areas, borders, languages, currencies, records. There are also four quizzes by continent and a leaderboard to see how you rank.

The Challenge

Name All 197 Countries in the World in 15 Minutes

No multiple choice: you type, the box fills in — and the country lights up on the world map, which you can zoom in on to find the Caribbean or the Pacific. Names can be entered in French or English; accents are optional. When two countries start the same way — Niger and Nigeria, Sudan and South Sudan — confirm with Enter. How many countries can you name from memory before the clock runs out?
