🌍 World Capitals Quiz
This world capitals quiz covers a wide range of countries across every continent, from well-known seats of government to capitals that often catch people off guard. Expect a mix of modern political centers, purpose-built cities, and a few places where the capital is not the country's largest city. The questions start with familiar names and gradually move toward less common ones.
Difficulty climbs as you go. The first four questions test basic recall, the middle group rewards travel knowledge and geography sense, and the final three ask you to recall capitals that rarely appear in everyday conversation. Take your time, use what you know about regions and history, and make your best guess when a name feels uncertain. Each answer comes with a short fact so you can learn something new either way.
