How to play Capitals
You see a country. Pick its capital city from four choices.
Goal
Match each country to its capital city.
How to play
- A country appears with its flag and region.
- Choose its capital from the four options.
- You'll see whether you were right, along with the correct capital if you were not.
- Continent Challenge lets you play a single continent only.
Tips
- The largest city is often not the capital. For example, Australia's capital is Canberra, not Sydney.
- On Easy and Medium, hints can reveal the first letter, the length, or eliminate two options.
Scoring
- Every correct answer is worth 100 points, scaled by difficulty (Easy ×0.8, Medium ×1, Hard ×1.3, Expert ×1.6).
- Answering within 3 seconds adds a 25-point speed bonus.
- Each answer in a row adds a 15-point streak bonus, up to 10 in a row.
- Using a hint halves the points for that answer and skips the bonuses. Hints are only available on Easy and Medium.
- Your score, streak and achievements are saved to your account when the game ends.
