The Flag Marathon is DodoThinks' ultimate endurance test — a 12-minute race to name as many country flags as you can. It combines speed, knowledge, and stamina into one gruelling geography challenge. How many flags can you name before time runs out?
How to Train for the Flag Marathon
Build automaticity first. Before you can race, you need to recognise flags without thinking. Play the standard Guess the Flag game on Easy until you can score 10/10 without hesitation, then move to Difficult.
Focus on weak spots. Most people know Europe and North America well but struggle with Africa, the Pacific, and Central Asia. The marathon draws from all countries evenly, so your weak regions will cost you time.
Pace yourself. 12 minutes is a long time. Don't panic-click early — take the first second to be sure, then move on. The timer rewards accuracy over speed for the first 100 flags, then speed matters more.
