The complete flags of the world quiz
This is the big one: every one of the world's 195 countries in a single quiz. It includes the 193 member states of the United Nations, plus Vatican City and Palestine, the two UN observer states. Turn on territories to add flags like Greenland, Hong Kong, Puerto Rico and Kosovo.
Naming all 195 flags is a real achievement, so don't worry if you don't get there first time. Start with a round of 25 on Easy, review the flags you miss, and build up from there. When you're ready, try typing every answer on Hard, then go for a perfect score on Expert with the timer on.
Learn the world one continent at a time
If the full set feels like a lot, split it up. South America (12 flags) and Oceania (14) are quick wins. Europe and Africa are the biggest challenges, with dozens of similar tricolours. Try the Europe, Africa, Asia, North America, South America and Oceania quizzes, then come back here.
How to play
- Choose your difficulty. Easy gives you four answers, Hard asks you to type the country (with suggestions) and Expert takes the suggestions away.
- Pick how many questions you want: a quick round of 10, or all 195 flags. Turn on the timer if you want to race the clock.
- Answer each flag. Get it wrong and we'll show you the right answer and its capital, so you learn as you play.
- At the end, review the flags you missed and practise them until they stick.
Want a different challenge? Switch the mode to Find the flag: we show you a country's name and you pick its flag from four options.
