World Capitals Quiz: 8 Tricky Ones

Geography Champion

You read atlases for fun. You probably know flags too. The kind of person who corrects the host at trivia night and is, infuriatingly, always right about it. Customs officers find you suspicious because you know things about their country they don't. We'll allow the smugness; you've earned it.

Solid General Knowledge

You know your major continents, you'd survive most pub quizzes, and you've travelled enough to have a working mental map of the world. The trickier capitals catch you out, which is fine — they catch most people out, including some who claim otherwise. A 20-minute Sporcle session would close the gap.

Refresher Recommended

Geography hasn't been a priority lately and the score reflects it. No judgment — most adults' capital-city knowledge peaks around age 12 and slowly degrades from there. Try a 20-minute Sporcle session, watch a few episodes of the news with a globe nearby, and circle back. You'll be surprised how fast it returns.
