My another new favourite quiz. The artwork is amazing (●♡∀♡) though it must have been very difficult to think about it and draw. We appreciate your hardwork and are grateful for providing us with such an amazing quiz to experience which would make us think outside box merely not just memorising all the Capitals won't work. Thanks a lot (。•̀ᴗ-)✧ and keep it up

Two thoughts: How did Seoul make the cut but Antananarivo, Bandar Seri Begawan and Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte didn't? Also, despite multiple rejections, Rambosaw has got to be somebody's capital, right?... Fun quiz! Looking forward to Part 2.
