Capitals of Africa quiz

One country, four cities: which one is its capital?

Area
Questions

How to play

  1. Africa is already selected; pick 10 or 20 questions, or every country.
  2. Pick the right answer out of four. A miss shows the correct answer.
  3. At the end, replay your mistakes: it is the fastest way to remember them. Your best score is kept in your browser.

A few countries have several capitals. The game uses the official capital and explains it on the country page: Sucre rather than La Paz for Bolivia, Pretoria for South Africa, Amsterdam for the Netherlands.

The wrong options are real cities from the same continent, often the country’s largest city: that is the most common trap. Every right answer adds the capital stamp to your passport.
