Features

  • 250 flags from around the world — Every country and region flag in Unicode, drawn as crisp SVG rather than system emoji.
  • Wrong answers that fight back — Options are drawn from flags that genuinely resemble the answer — France arrives with Italy and Ireland, not with Japan.
  • No unwinnable rounds — Flags that emoji renders identically are never offered against each other, so no round is a coin flip.
  • Best score saved locally — Your high score lives on your own device — not on a server, and not attached to any account.

How It Works

  1. Pick a difficulty — Easy gives 20 seconds and mostly unrelated options; Hard gives 10 and three lookalikes.
  2. Read the flag — Colours, layout, and any emblem — that is usually enough to narrow it down.
  3. Answer before the clock — Faster correct answers score more, over 15 rounds.

Use Cases

  • Actually learn the flags, not just the famous ten
  • Geography practice that takes three minutes
  • Beat your own best score

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the flag quiz work?

Each round shows one flag and four names. Pick the right one before the clock runs out — 15 rounds in total, with faster answers worth more points. Difficulty changes both the time limit and how similar the wrong answers are.

Why do the wrong answers look so much like the right one?

On purpose. I scored every flag against every other flag by how similar they look, and the harder levels draw their wrong answers from that list. A quiz that offers France, Japan, Brazil and Egypt answers itself; one that offers France, Italy, Ireland and Mexico is a real test.

Are Chad and Romania both in there?

Yes, both are questions — but they are never offered as options to each other, and neither are Indonesia and Monaco. Those pairs render as the same picture in emoji form, so a round with both would be a coin flip rather than a question.

Why are the flags images instead of emoji characters?

Because Windows has no flag emoji. On Windows a flag character shows up as two letters — which would literally spell out the region code next to the question. Drawing them as SVG images means the quiz works the same everywhere.

Which flags are included?

Every flag in the Unicode emoji set, minus a handful that are drawn identically to another. That covers sovereign states, territories and dependencies alike — so expect Ascension Island as well as Argentina. Names come straight from the Unicode standard; I do not editorialise them.
