Type the Capitals: Asia Quiz

Long distances, sharp regional shifts

Asia is enormous, and the quiz can move from the Middle East to Central Asia or the Pacific coast in a few questions. Some regions have giant countries; others are packed tightly.

Japan and Uzbekistan barely feel like questions from the same map. Add Sri Lanka and the scale changes again.

How the capitals quiz works

A country is highlighted and named. Type its capital. Smurdy marks the capital on the map for a moment before the next question.

Capital mode makes the most sense once the countries or states themselves are familiar.

Tip: Try to get the city from memory before you look for the answer dot.

Central and western Asia slow things down

Central Asia and mainland Southeast Asia are common trouble spots. The shapes are less forgiving when several neighbors sit close together.
