How the Africa Flag Quiz works
A flag from Africa is shown on its own and you get four country names to choose from. One of them is correct and the other three are drawn from the same African pool. A correct answer scores a point and moves you on; a wrong one shows the right answer before the next flag. You can skip any question and see the answer, and the round always ends with your score.
The pan-African colors make the pool tricky
Many African flags share the green, yellow and red of the pan-African colors, which is exactly what makes this quiz good practice: the differences are in the stripes, the symbols and the order of the bands. Seeing the flags next to each other in one round is the fastest way to tell them apart.
How it relates to the map quiz
The Africa map quiz tests the same countries by shape and position instead of by flag. Playing both quizzes covers the continent twice and each round makes the other easier.
Where to start
The countries of the world flag quiz includes every African flag among its questions if you want the wider pool, or the Middle East flag quiz if you want to move to a neighboring region.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do so many African flags look alike?
Many designs use the green, yellow and red of the pan-African colors as a symbol of shared history. The quiz keeps the choice to one correct answer plus three distractors from the same pool, so the stripes, symbols and band order are what separate them.
How many questions are in a round?
