how is everyone below 5 mins??!! my best is 8:54 cus i make soo many typos omg. does anyone have help plz ;(

Level 45

Mar 13, 2026

Try typing “CAR” (Central African Republic), “DR” (Dominican Republic), “FSM” (Federated States of Micronesia), and “Congo” (Republic of the Congo and Democratic Republic of the Congo) to guess countries quicker instead of typing out their full names.

Level 37

Mar 26, 2026

Nice! I use all of these, except for FSM (Which I will do now)

I've also KSA (Saudi Arabia)

I wonder if there's a comprehensive list of all the abbreviations accepted by this quiz?

Level 24

Mar 28, 2026

PNG = papua new guinea PRC = china, but i like typing out china better, ROC = taiwan ROK = south korea DPRK = north korea and NZ = new zealand, try these shortcuts out as well

Is using the "show missing countries" considered cheating?

(cause when I use it, I always get better scores in time)

Level 15

Apr 1, 2026

the "world record"s on youtube have "show missing countries" on so it's fine I guess

Level 53

May 1, 2026

I think it is just a different way of highlighting, instead of only yellow, countries not typed in yet also have a black dot, so its mostly the same thing

If you had a very large screen, you probably wouldn't need to use that feature.

there are so many geography quizzes, this website needs to diversify

Level 32

Mar 18, 2026

one of the main purposes about this website is for geo knowledge, and the variety of geo stuff you can learn is far greater than the typical subject

Level 69

May 19, 2026

You need to get better at geography, I guess. Don't hate the website, hate the player if they are on the website and complaining about it

Level 42

May 27, 2026

yeah the website was originally created for geography, and even though they diversified, the players (us) play geography.

Level 15

Mar 24, 2026

I've played this quiz sooo many times since I learned about it in 2021. It's fun to play and it's honestly helped me learn more about the world, which I really appreciate. I don't mean to be the Woker here, but I really wish they would add countries like Palestine and Tibet, which are not universally recognized as countries but deserve to be included. I mean, we've already got places like Taiwan and Kosovo, which aren't always recognized as "real" countries. Anyway, thanks for teaching my dumb Western self about the world, I appreciate it nonetheless!!

@QUIZMASTER I just came back to this website after a year or so, I have been a user for a decade. If you are going to sell our data to giant collection corporations can you at least provide a “REJECT ALL” option?? I had to unclick a few hundred “Consent” and “Legitimate Interest” toggles on many many domestic and foreign advertising and collection companies on the pop up. Always loved this website, please make it easier for future users

Level 69

May 19, 2026

omg wow everyone here is around that age and there are so many comments like this bragging about their perfect score and legitimately 90% of them include their age its so annoying, like if u wanna say ur time its fine thats good but why say your score? id say 99% of people that can comment can name all countries, good for you for being a little younger than the average i guess?

Level 53

May 1, 2026

Stop sharing your score, guys. Nobody cares

Level 54

May 18, 2026

People are allowed to celebrate their accomplishments and feel proud about them.

Level 69

May 19, 2026

I disagree, why share scores? literally 99% of people that can comment can name all countries, sharing times is not as bad but still...

Level 16

May 2, 2026

My current best time is 5:24 for all 196 countries, but I've been practicing on and off for years at this point.

I need to learn more of the abbreviations and get better at not making so many spelling errors.

Palestine should be added as a country by the way, especially if Taiwan and Kosovo are going to be on here.
