How to Play Guess the Country
- A flag appears as soon as the page loads.
- Tap the country it belongs to, or press 1 to 4 on a keyboard.
- Right answers go green and the next flag comes straight away. A wrong answer shows you the right country and costs one of your three lives.
- The game ends after your third miss. See your score, the flags you missed, and play again.
What Makes It Different
- You start playing the moment the page opens: no menu, no sign-up and nothing to type.
- Every answer tells you at once whether you were right, and a miss shows you the correct country.
- It gets harder as you go: famous flags first, then trickier ones, then all 195 countries, with wrong answers from the same continent.
- Your best score is saved in your browser, and every flag you missed links to a page about that country.
One flag, four countries, one tap. Guess the Country is the quickest way to find out how many flags you really know: keep answering until you have missed three, then try to beat your score.
How the Levels Work
Famous flags. Your first 8 points come from well-known flags such as France, Japan and Brazil, and the wrong answers are famous countries too.
Trickier flags. From 8 points, flags like Colombia, Kenya and Hungary join in, and the wrong answers come from the same continent as the right one.
Every country. From 20 points, any of the 195 countries can turn up, from Bhutan to Tuvalu. No flag is asked twice in one game.
Tips for a Higher Score
Look at the symbol first. Stars, crescents, suns, maple leaves and coats of arms settle most choices faster than colours do.
Learn the look-alike pairs. Chad and Romania, Indonesia and Monaco, Ireland and Côte d'Ivoire, and Australia and New Zealand catch out most players.
Use your misses. When a game ends, open the flags you missed. Each one links to its country page, and a flag you have read about is much easier next time.
