Capital Cities Quiz

Match countries to their capital cities. Filter by continent, adjust difficulty, and drill the capitals you keep missing across sessions.

From Paris to Palikir — learn every capital in the world.

The Capital Cities Quiz gives you a country and asks for its capital (or vice versa). Filter by continent to focus your practice on a region, and the game tracks which capitals you consistently get wrong so you can drill them.

How it works

  1. Pick a continent and a difficulty (4 or 6 options).
  2. Answer each round by selecting the correct capital.
  3. Missed capitals are tracked locally and reappear in the practice queue.
  4. Compete on the weekly leaderboard for capital-game scores.

Unique mechanic

Difficulty controls how many distractors appear, and the "wrong-guesses" log feeds your Country Mastery score for the "Capital" skill on each country.

Why it helps you learn

Capitals reward pure recall, not recognition. Repeated retrieval — even with the wrong answer — is what moves the fact from short-term to long-term memory, which is why we keep bringing missed capitals back.
