Frequently asked questions

  • How does the capital cities quiz work?

    Pick a level and you get ten countries, one at a time. Type the capital city of each country, or skip it. After every answer you see the correct capital, and at the end your score.

  • Do I need to spell the capital exactly right?

    No. Accents and capital letters don't matter, and small typos are accepted, so Reykiavik counts for Reykjavík. Typing a different capital, such as Lome instead of Rome, is always wrong.

  • Which capitals are in the quiz?

    All 195 capitals on Capitopia: the 193 member states of the United Nations plus Vatican City and Taiwan. For countries with more than one capital, the other capitals are accepted too, for example Pretoria for South Africa and La Paz for Bolivia.
