The Ultimate Geography Trivia Quiz Game With Over 1,500 Questions

About the Brilliant Maps Geography Trivia Quiz

How well do you really know the world?

This free geography trivia quiz tests everything from capital cities and continents to currencies, landlocked countries, straits, deserts, islands and borders, with thousands of possible question combinations, so no two games are ever quite the same.

Choose your difficulty

Easy sticks to the geography most people half-remember from school: famous capitals, major countries, oceans and well-known landmarks. A good warm-up, or a fair fight for younger players.

Hard digs deeper, smaller countries, trickier capitals, US states, former country names like Burma, Ceylon and Zaire, and the kind of questions that separate casual map-gazers from proper geography nerds.

Impossible is exactly what it says. Doubly landlocked countries, exclaves and enclaves, capitals that aren’t the city everyone assumes (looking at you, Yamoussoukro), Point Nemo, and the world’s most remote islands. If you score well here, we want to hear about it.

Pick your game length

Fast (10 questions) for a coffee-break challenge, Regular (20) for the full experience, or Ultimate (100) if you want to settle once and for all who in your household actually knows their geography.

You can also finish early at any point and get scored on what you’ve answered.

Earn your rank

Your final score earns you a title, from humble Lost Tourist all the way up to Brilliant Cartographer.

Hit the share buttons at the end to post your score and challenge your friends on Facebook, X, Threads or Bluesky, then come back and play again, because the questions reshuffle every single game.

A quick note on fairness: where a country has disputed or multiple capitals (such as South Africa or Bolivia), we’ve left those questions out entirely, so you’ll never be marked wrong on an answer you could reasonably defend.
