The Ultimate 50 US States Quiz

About the Ultimate 50 US States Quiz

How well do you really know the United States?

This free trivia quiz puts your knowledge of all 50 states to the test: their capitals, shapes, nicknames, borders and more.

With thousands of possible question combinations drawn fresh each time, no two games play out quite the same.

Name the state from its outline

One of the toughest and most satisfying challenges: we show you the silhouette of a state and you tell us which one it is.

Spotting Florida or Michigan is easy enough, but can you tell Wyoming from Colorado, or Kansas from Nebraska, when all you've got is the shape?

Choose your difficulty

Easy sticks to the states most people know well: big, famous states, well-known capitals like Austin and Boston, and instantly recognisable outlines. A great warm-up, and fair game for younger players.

Hard steps it up with trickier capitals, postal abbreviations, state nicknames, and "which state borders this one?" questions. This is where casual knowledge meets its limits.

Impossible is exactly that. Obscure capitals (good luck with Pierre, Montpelier and Frankfort), the lookalike "box" states that are almost impossible to tell apart by outline, and fiendish facts about statehood order, borders and record-holders. Score well here and you've truly earned it.

Pick your length

Fast (10 questions) for a quick challenge, Regular (20) for a proper test, or All 50: fifty questions, one for every state in the Union, for the full coast-to-coast experience.

You can also finish early at any time and be scored on what you've answered.

Earn your rank

Every score comes with a title, from humble Lost Tourist all the way up to Brilliant Cartographer.

When you're done, share your result with the buttons at the end and challenge your friends on Facebook, X, Threads or Bluesky to see who really knows their states, then play again, because the questions reshuffle every single game.
