How the South America 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 South American 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 South American country, from the best-known capitals to the smaller ones that are easier to mix up. The pool stays short, so a round is a focused test 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 South America quiz uses the same country pool if you want to switch between the two.
Where to start
South America is a natural step into capitals: the pool stays short and the countries are familiar. 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.
