Type the Capitals: South America Quiz

A clean outline with a tricky northern edge

South America has only a dozen sovereign countries, so the whole set is manageable. Most of the trouble is near the north and around the two landlocked countries.

Chile is hard to lose. Guyana and Suriname are where the northern edge starts demanding more attention.

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.

Use the Andes and the coastlines

Brazil is hard to miss and touches most of the continent. Use it as the country you check everything else against.
