What this Africa quiz covers
Africa contains more than fifty answers in this group, including North Africa, West Africa, the Horn, central Africa, southern Africa, and nearby island countries. It is one of the site's most detailed continent quizzes.
How the typing map quiz works
One country is highlighted on the map. Type its name to answer, using the map shape and location as your clue. The round continues through all 56 countries, making this useful for spelling practice as well as map recognition.
Gameplay tip: Say each answer in your head before typing it. That small pause helps connect the written name to the map.
What makes this group challenging
West Africa contains many smaller countries with short coastlines, while central and eastern Africa have several large inland neighbors that can blend together at first.
Study tip
Learn the coastline first, then use those coastal countries to place the landlocked countries behind them.
