African flags

This set covers North, West, Central, East, and Southern Africa along with the continent's island countries and the other places in Smurdy's Africa map group.

Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, and the two Congos are useful reference points for several recurring color families.

How the flag quiz works

One flag appears at a time. Type the country or territory it represents, or choose Give Up to reveal the answer. The round continues through all 56 countries and territories.

Tip: Check the stripe direction, color order, symbols, and proportions before answering.

Red, yellow, and green appear across many African flags, making stripe order and central symbols especially useful clues.
