Capital Quest is a free world capitals quiz game. Each round shows you a capital city name and asks you to identify which country it belongs to. Type the country name in the search box — autocomplete suggestions will help you. You can also skip a question if you're not sure, but skipped questions count as wrong answers.
Each game consists of 10 randomly selected capital cities from a pool of 85+ world capitals. After each answer — right or wrong — you see a fascinating fact about that capital city. Did you know Bangkok's full ceremonial name is the longest city name in the world? Or that Canberra was purpose-built as Australia's capital to end a rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne?
Some capital cities are famous for being surprising. Australia's capital is Canberra, not Sydney. Brazil's capital is Brasília, not Rio de Janeiro. South Africa has three capitals — Pretoria, Cape Town, and Bloemfontein. Myanmar recently moved its capital to the purpose-built city of Naypyidaw. Kazakhstan's capital has been renamed multiple times and is now called Astana.
Capital Quest helps you learn these surprising facts through gameplay rather than memorization. After a few sessions, you'll start remembering capitals that previously stumped you.
