Capital Cities Quiz
Do you know the capital of every country?
Canberra or Sydney? Ottawa or Toronto? Plenty of capitals are not the country's best-known city — and that is exactly where this capital cities quiz gets interesting. Each round puts 10 countries in front of you, and you choose the right capital from four options. You get instant feedback after every answer, and the questions are reshuffled each time, so the quiz stays fresh across many rounds. Alongside the obvious ones, you will meet the classic traps: countries whose seat of government sits somewhere other than the biggest metropolis. The quiz is free, runs directly in your browser and works just as well on a phone. At the end your score comes as a shareable card. If you enjoy this one, the flag quiz and the country quiz are the natural next steps.
Frequently asked questions
Which capitals catch people out most often?
Australia (Canberra, not Sydney), Canada (Ottawa, not Toronto), the United States (Washington, D.C., not New York) and Turkey (Ankara, not Istanbul) are the classic traps — in each case the best-known city is not the capital.
How many questions does one round have?
Ten questions per round, drawn at random from the pool and reshuffled every time, so each round differs from the last.
Does the quiz cover capitals from every continent?
Yes. The pool spans Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Oceania, so a round is never limited to one region.
