Asia Flag Quiz

Can you tell all 47 Asian flags apart?

Asia is the continent where flags repeat their ingredients the most, and this quiz leans into it. Every round draws 10 of the 47 Asian flags and offers four countries — all of them Asian, so nothing gives itself away by continent. The group that catches most people is the Gulf: the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan and Palestine all combine red, green, white and black, and the difference comes down to a triangle, a trapezoid or a star. Then there is the crescent family — Pakistan, Malaysia, the Maldives, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan all carry one — and the plain red-and-white group of Japan, Indonesia and Singapore, where the tell is a circle, a stripe or a crescent with stars. Pick an answer and it resolves immediately, so a few rounds are enough to make the families come apart. Free, instant, and ready on a phone.

Frequently asked questions

How many flags are in the Asia flag quiz?

47. That is the count you get when the transcontinental states are placed on the European side — Turkey and Russia sit in the Europe flag quiz rather than here. Other sites count anywhere from 43 to 52 depending on where they draw that line and whether they include territories.

Which Asian flags are hardest to tell apart?

The Gulf group is the hardest: the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan and Palestine share red, green, white and black, and differ mainly by the shape at the hoist. After that come the crescent flags — Pakistan, Malaysia, the Maldives, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan — and the red-and-white family of Japan, Indonesia and Singapore.

Where are Turkey and Russia in this quiz?

In the Europe flag quiz. Both are transcontinental, and quizzling counts them on the European side so that no flag appears in two continent quizzes at once. The world flag quiz has all 197 either way.

Is this quiz multiple choice?

Yes — a flag appears and you choose the country from four options, with the answer shown as soon as you pick. All four options are Asian countries, which is what makes the round harder than the world flag quiz.
