Goal

Identify the country from its flag.

How to play

  1. A flag appears. Work out which country it belongs to.
  2. Answer, and you'll see the correct country either way.
  3. Flag Master Challenge uses only the hardest, least-familiar flags.
Before you start: choose a mode, rounds and difficulty, then press Start game.

Tips

  • Look at colours, stripes, crosses and symbols. Many flags of neighbouring countries are similar.
  • Many flags look alike, so check the small details such as stripe order and colour shades.

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.

Modes

Classic

A fixed number of rounds, then a results screen.

Time Attack

Fit in as many rounds as you can before the clock runs out.
