Capital Cities Quiz

Capital Cities Quiz asks ten multiple-choice questions about world capitals, drawn from a pool of more than sixty countries. Each question gives four options and immediate feedback.

The questions deliberately avoid ambiguous cases such as countries with multiple capitals or disputed territories, so there is always one defensible answer. A wrong answer highlights the correct city before moving on.

At the end you get a score out of ten and a local best. It is a quick geography refresher rather than an exam.

Tips & strategy

Capital questions reward elimination. Even when you do not know the answer, you can usually rule out two options.

• Eliminate the largest city if you know the country has a smaller purpose-built capital (Canberra, Ottawa, Brasilia).
• For European countries, consider whether the capital is also the largest city; often it is, but not always.
• Watch for former capitals and financial centres that are not the political capital (Istanbul, Amsterdam vs The Hague).
• Group countries by region; recalling one capital often unlocks its neighbours.
• If two options are in the same country, neither is likely to be the answer.
• Read all four options before clicking — the correct city is sometimes the one you least expect.
