How to play the flag quiz

This flag quiz shows you the flag of a country and four possible answers. Tap the country you think it belongs to, or press keys 1 to 4. The right answer turns green straight away, and if you picked wrong, your choice turns red so you can see the difference. Then press Next or Enter for the next flag.

1. Pick a mode. Practice lets you choose a region and the number of questions. The daily challenge gives everyone the same 10 flags today.
2. Choose a region to focus on one continent, or All to mix every country.
3. Play the round. Your score and progress bar update as you go.
4. Check your results. The review list shows every flag you missed, and your best score is saved in this browser.

The quiz includes all 193 member states of the United Nations plus the two observer states, Vatican City and Palestine. Wrong answers are chosen with care: they often come from the same part of the world, and sometimes from a flag that looks very similar, such as Chad and Romania or Indonesia and Monaco.

Tips for learning flags

• Learn one region at a time. Europe and the Americas are a good start because many flags share colors and patterns.
• Look for symbols. A maple leaf, a cedar tree or a red disc is often all you need.
• Notice families of flags. Many Arab flags use red, white, black and green; many African flags use red, yellow and green; the Nordic countries share a cross.
• For teachers: project the daily challenge as a warm-up and let the class vote on each answer.
