— The basics

What is Capital Quiz?

Capital Quiz is a quick geography game. A country name appears on the screen. You pick its capital from four options. Right answers earn points and time. Wrong answers cost points. The longer you survive, the harder the country list gets — moving from common names to genuinely obscure ones.

Capital Quiz is one of those small games that ends up genuinely teaching you something. Most adults can name maybe 50 country capitals from memory. Two weeks of daily play stretches that to 80 or 90 without trying. The game is a stealth education app — and one of the most rewarding ways to learn world geography.
