Ranked by correct answers, then by time. A name is optional; your country comes from your browser's time zone. We do not store your IP address.
Fifteen countries, each with four cities, one of which is the capital. The countries are drawn at random from more than 130 around the world, so every game is different. You have 10 seconds per question.
Many of the wrong answers are cities bigger or more famous than the capital, so gut feeling can let you down. You see right away whether you were correct, and get a result to share at the end.
Possible results
- Beginner You know the famous cities, and that is exactly what this quiz sets its traps with.
- Traveller You know the capitals most people get wrong. Only the rarer ones slipped past.
- Geographer You know capitals that most atlases print in small type.
How this quiz works
The questions were written by the KahurQuiz editors and the capitals checked against official national sources as of 2026. Countries whose capital is disputed or in the middle of a move are not in the bank. Where a country has more than one capital, the question says which one is meant: the political capital of Burundi is Gitega, the official capital of Sri Lanka is Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, the constitutional capital of Bolivia is Sucre, and the official capitals of Tanzania and Benin are Dodoma and Porto-Novo. Switzerland has no capital set in law, but Bern is the seat of the federal government and is treated as the capital everywhere.
Each game draws 15 questions at random and each correct answer scores one point: 0–5 Beginner, 6–10 Traveller and 11–15 Geographer. The answer options are shuffled every time, so the position of the right answer tells you nothing.
