Europe Capital Quiz

How the Europe Capitals Quiz works

A country outline is shown with its capital marked, and you pick the capital city from four names. One of them is correct; the other three come from the same European pool, so you cannot win by eliminating a region you are good at. A correct answer scores a point and moves you on; a wrong one shows the right answer before the next question. The round always ends with your score.

The pool covers the continent

Each round is drawn from the capitals of every European country, from the best-known cities to the smaller capitals that are easier to mix up. The pool is smaller than the world list, so a round is a focused test of one continent and replaying keeps bringing back the capitals you keep missing until you have learned them.

Capitals test place names, not geography

Naming a capital is a different skill from placing a country on a map: cities carry their own names and history. Playing both kinds of quiz back to back is a good way to learn a country twice, and the map version of the Europe quiz uses the same country pool if you want to switch between the two.

Where to start

Europe is a natural first step into capitals: the countries are familiar and the pool stays short. When you are ready for more, the countries of the world capital quiz widens the pool to the whole world with the same format, so your progress carries over.
