How the Name All Countries Quiz works
This quiz works differently from the map quizzes. Instead of clicking on a map, you type country names into a box while a five-minute timer counts down. Every name you type that matches a recognized country scores one point, and the goal is to enter as many as you can before time runs out. There are no wrong answers to click, but time is the real opponent.
Why recall is the skill being tested
The map quizzes test recognition, but this mode tests pure recall. You have to bring country names to mind on your own, without a map or a list to prompt you. Starting with the continents you know best is the most reliable strategy, and working through the alphabet can help you keep track of what you have already entered.
Where to go next
If you prefer finding countries on a map, the countries of the world quiz and the Europe map quiz test recognition instead of recall. The guess the country quiz sits in between, giving you a clue to work from before you click.
The quiz is free, runs in your browser and needs no account. Your best score is stored locally, so you can come back and try to beat it.
