How the flag quiz works
You get a flag and name the country it belongs to. In multiple choice you pick from four options; in type mode you write the answer yourself, with no options on screen.
The wrong options always come from the same continent as the answer, so a round can never be won by elimination — a European flag is shown against other European flags, not against Japan and Kenya.
You can play all 200 flags at once or filter to a single continent. Oceania has only 14, which makes it the fastest full round on the site.
Flags that are almost identical
These are the pairs that decide most rounds. Learning the one detail that separates each pair is the fastest way to raise your score.
| Flag | Looks like | How to tell them apart |
|---|---|---|
 |  | Chad's blue is a shade darker. Otherwise they are the same flag. |
 |  | Identical colours; Monaco is shorter and wider. |
 |  | Luxembourg's blue is lighter and its flag is longer. |
 |  | Same three colours, reversed: Ireland starts green, Ivory Coast starts orange. |
 |  | Australia has six white stars, New Zealand four red ones. |
 |  | Both Nordic crosses, colours swapped: Norway is red, Iceland is blue. |
 |  | Same green-yellow-red bands; Senegal adds a green star. |
Patterns that make flags easier to learn
The Nordic cross. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland all use a cross shifted towards the hoist. Spot the offset cross and you have narrowed it to five countries.
Pan-African colours. Red, gold and green, taken from Ethiopia, run through Ghana, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Cameroon and many others.
Pan-Arab colours. Red, white, black and green appear across Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Sudan, Syria, the UAE and Yemen, usually as bands.
The Union Jack corner. A small Union Jack in the top-left marks former British territories: Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tuvalu among them.
Frequently asked questions
How many flags are there in the world?
There are 193 flags of United Nations member states, plus a handful more for observer states and territories. This quiz covers 200 flags in total.
Which two flags are the most similar?
Chad and Romania. Both are vertical blue-yellow-red tricolours, and the only difference is a slightly darker blue on the Chadian flag. Indonesia and Monaco are a close second: both are red over white, differing only in proportions.
Is the flag quiz free?
Yes, completely. No sign-up, no paywall, no limit on how many rounds you play.
Can I practise the flags of one continent only?
Yes. Pick Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa or Oceania before you start, and the round will only use flags from that region.
What is the difference between the two difficulty modes?
Multiple choice gives you four countries to pick from, all of them from the same continent so you cannot win by elimination. Type mode gives you no options at all — you write the country name yourself.
What do the colours on flags mean?
Colours often follow regional families. Red, gold and green are the pan-African colours, taken from Ethiopia. Red, white, black and green are the pan-Arab colours. The Nordic cross, offset towards the hoist, is shared by Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland.
