Find it on the map needs a mouse or a touch screen. Name the highlighted one needs you to see the map, and can be played from the keyboard.

How this quiz works

This quiz asks for the 47 UN member states of Asia, grouped as the United Nations does. That grouping covers Central, Eastern, South-eastern, Southern and Western Asia. Every other shape on the map is drawn as plain land in a neutral tone and is not asked, labelled or clickable.

Find it on the map names a country, and you click or tap it. A right answer fills the shape at once. Three wrong tries show the answer and count it as missed. Name the highlighted one lights a country and you pick its name from four, with the keys 1 to 4, or type it.

Asia has a crowded stretch of small countries around the Arabian Peninsula and the eastern Mediterranean, plus islands such as Singapore and the Maldives. Those carry round markers, moved apart where needed and joined to their country by a thin line.

At the end you see your score, your time and what you missed, and you can replay only those. The best result for each mode is kept in your browser on this device.

Questions

Which countries count as Asia in this quiz?

The 47 UN member states that the United Nations places in Asia. This includes Turkey, Cyprus, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, which it groups in Western Asia. Russia is asked in the Europe quiz.

Why does the map stop where it does?

The map is cropped to the area around the 47 countries, so the far north and east of Russia are out of view.

How is a typed answer judged?

Capital letters, accents, extra spaces and punctuation are ignored. A few alternatives are accepted, such as Burma for Myanmar and East Timor for Timor-Leste.
