Everything you need to know about QuizCapitals
What is QuizCapitals?
QuizCapitals is an educational geography game that helps you learn and test your knowledge of world capitals. With over 195 countries, multiple game modes, and difficulty levels, it's the perfect way to improve your geography knowledge while having fun.
How do I play the game?
Simply choose a region (World, Europe, Asia, etc.), select a game mode (Classic or Time Attack), pick your difficulty level, and start guessing capitals! Type your answer in the input field and press enter. You get 3 attempts per question in Classic mode.
What are the different game modes?
We offer two game modes: Classic Mode gives you 20 questions to answer at your own pace with 3 guesses per question. Time Attack Mode challenges you to answer as many questions as possible in 90 seconds.
What are the difficulty levels?
Easy: Well-known capitals everyone should know. Medium: Common capitals that are fairly recognizable. Hard: Challenging capitals that require good geography knowledge. Expert: Obscure capitals for true geography experts. Progressive: Starts easy and gradually increases difficulty.
How is scoring calculated?
Base points depend on how many guesses you need (100 for first try, 50 for second, 25 for third). You get a 50-point speed bonus for answering within 3 seconds. Streak bonuses multiply your score (1.5x at 5 streak, 2x at 10 streak).
Can I skip a question I don't know?
Yes! Click the "Skip Question" button if you don't know the answer. This will show you the correct answer but reset your streak. It's better than guessing randomly three times.
