Capitals Quiz
by Nebulark Studio · Educational · v1.1.0
Fly around the globe one capital at a time: name as many capitals as you can in 60 seconds, survive three lives as the countries get harder, or practise a single continent.
How to play
- Name the capital of the country shown, or the country a capital belongs to.
- Pick Sprint 60, Survival or Practice (choose a continent), Choice or Typing, and press Play.
- Choice: click or tap one of the four answers, or press 1-4.
- Typing: type the answer and press Enter; accents, capitals and small typos are forgiven.
- A right answer scores 10 × the country's tier (1-3; 1.5× when typing) plus a streak bonus; a wrong one shows the right answer.
- Sprint 60 ends when the minute is up; Survival ends when the third life is lost; Practice ends after the last country of the continent.
- After each run, the results show your accuracy, pace and the capitals you missed; the Atlas counts every country you have ever got right.
- A run in progress is saved: Continue picks it up from the menu, paused.

About Capitals Quiz
Capitals Quiz asks about 189 countries two ways: name the capital of the country shown, or the country a capital belongs to. Pick one of four answers, all from the same continent and of a similar difficulty, or switch to Typing and spell it yourself; accents, capital letters and small typos are forgiven, and alternates such as La Paz or Kiev count. Well-known countries are worth 10 points, moderate ones 20 and hard ones 30, plus a streak bonus, and typed answers score half as much again. Sprint 60 counts how much you score in a minute, Survival gives you three lives while the questions climb from Paris to Ngerulmud and the timer shrinks, and Continent Practice takes you once through Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America or Oceania with a learn card after every miss. A glossy globe with glowing pins and a paper airplane keeps you company; colour plus icon feedback, screen-reader announcements, big buttons and a calm mode make it friendly for everyone.
