Flag Quiz
10 questions, 3 choices
About this test
A flag quiz (flag guessing game) shows a national flag and asks which country it belongs to. This test draws 10 random questions from 65 countries as 3-choice multiple choice.
Each question has 1 correct answer and 2 confusable distractors. One distractor comes from the same continent, so guessing by region alone isn't enough — and the scorecard reveals the right country for any you miss.
There are 193 UN member states and around 200 national flags in total. Flags differ by color, emblem, and ratio, and some look almost identical — Indonesia vs. Monaco, the Netherlands vs. Luxembourg, Chad vs. Romania. Grouping flags by continent and comparing look-alikes makes them far easier to remember.
