This is my best attempt at naming all the capitals - having them by continent was great (even though I only realised it with 2 minutes left!).

Will this be starred for points at some point?

If you did this same quiz with just the invisible "map" with just the dots for the city locations lighting up and with no visible answer grid it would be epically difficult!

Missed 5, only one was an island, so I should have gotten the other 4. Some of the answers require "city" and some don't, when you get a chance can you make it uniform. Great quiz!

Other quizzes accept Sri Kotte for Sri Lankan capital, got caught up there for a minute or two and ditto about the uniformity of the word 'çity'.

I Like this quiz but would be better with the map appearing not the dots, the dots are very small, what makes confusing on locations with close proximity.

Shouldn't be necessary to add "City" after Mexico and Panama. "Guatemala" works without it.

Also, can't give any stars or nominate until the updates that people have been requesting for years are made.

Almost forgot Mexico City, of all places..

In addition to the updates others have suggested, please accept Kyiv for the capital of Ukraine! Most English-speaking news outlets now use Kyiv instead of Kiev

192-196. Like it, but a few things.

1) Needs to be updated for Gitega and should accept Cotonou.

2) Needs to be consistent on whether "City" is required.

3) Needs to accept "Kyiv."

Still hasn't been updated for Gitega. Also, Indonesia has just moved its capital to Nusantara.
+1
Level 70
Nov 11, 2024
Last I read, Nusantara was named the new capital, but they were still building the infrastructure to allow them to actually transfer government functions and personnel there. So Jakarta is at least the de facto capital. I agree that Nusantara should be accepted, though.

Level 77

It was inaugerated as a new city, but I doubt it's going to be the official capital for a long time. It's not even expected to be fully ready until after 2040
+2
Level 69
Nov 8, 2024
Before this gets starred, it should be updated with the correct capital for Burundi, accept Cotonou for Benin, and accept all the standard answers that don't require City to be typed.

Nov 11, 2024
188/196, actually ran out of time, I might've been able to get 1 or 2 more with a few more minutes to think (as always missing a few pacific or caribbean islands). Didn't realise there was an answer grid and completely forgot Rome! It was hiding underneath the Vatican City dot!

153/196. More time needed please.

Level 88
Nov 12, 2024
148/196 sure could use some more time even though I doubt I would have come up with all of them. also I would have done better had I noticed alpha listing below map as that may have triggered some correct answers.

I was a bit surprised to find some of the harder ones so highly guessed but then I remembered most of the people taking this quiz including myself already know this stuff pretty well and are looking for an extra challenge

Jan 21, 2025
I get how you'd arrive at 12:00 because the capitals with the map is 12:00, but... unless you want to make time part of the challenge, it should probably have a little more, like 15:00. I'm pretty facile with the capitals and had less than a minute left.

Apr 16, 2025
Put it on my playlist, so maybe I can finally get those remaining capitals in my head, and the correct places for the ones I already know. Still pretty pleased with my score even though I missed some extremely obvious ones (like vatican, singapore etc),so I should ve gotten atleast 10 more without much effort. Then there are some that never seem to stick and almost seem new everytime I see them (Port Vila?? that is new right? ;) ), and the ones I kind of know, but can only produce on occasion and not consistently. I would recognise them in a list with made up names.
