Type the Capitals: Pacific Islands Quiz
Practice the capitals of the Pacific islands while keeping each country tied to its place on the map.
A quiz spread across half an ocean
This set is the independent Pacific island countries in Smurdy's group list. Australia and New Zealand are left out so the smaller island states get the attention.
Fiji feels isolated until you compare it with Kiribati or the Marshall Islands. Pacific distances are enormous.
Distance is misleading
At world scale the islands look like a loose spray of dots. Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia give you three smaller areas to remember.
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.
The map gives you very few landmarks
The ocean distances are huge, and several countries are tiny on the map.
