How this quiz works
This quiz asks for the 54 UN member states of Africa, grouped as the United Nations does. Every other shape on the map is drawn as plain land in a neutral tone, and is not asked, not labelled and not clickable.
There are two ways to play. In Find it on the map the page names a country and you click or tap it. Three wrong tries show the answer and count the country as missed. In Name the highlighted one a country is lit and you pick or type its name.
Africa has several small countries and island groups, among them Gambia, Rwanda, Djibouti, Comoros, Seychelles and Cape Verde. Each of these has a round marker so that it can be tapped on a phone. Where markers would touch, they are moved apart and joined to their country by a thin line.
Typed names accept common alternatives, such as Swaziland for Eswatini and Cabo Verde for Cape Verde. The two Congos are named DR Congo and Republic of the Congo. Your best result for each mode is kept in your browser on this device.
Questions
How many countries are asked?
54, one for each UN member state in Africa, asked once each in random order. A missed-only round asks just the ones you got wrong.
What do the lines next to some markers mean?
Where several small countries sit close together, their markers are moved apart so none hides another. A thin line joins each moved marker to the country it stands for.
Are the island countries included?
Yes. Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Comoros, Cape Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe are all asked.
