Game guide
How to play Country from Capital
Use capital city-to-country practice with the world set: read a capital, name its country, then use the revealed flag and complete pair to make the answer stick.
Capital City to Country Practice
The capital is the complete clue at the start of every question. The country flag stays hidden until you answer, so the task tests the capital-to-country connection instead of flag recognition.
Multiple choice is useful while unfamiliar country names are still becoming familiar. Typed answers remove the visible options and test whether you can recall and spell the country independently.
Learn the pair in both directions
After each answer, read the pair aloud in both directions: “Canberra is the capital of Australia” and “Australia’s capital is Canberra.” Alternating the direction prevents the fact from becoming tied to one question format.
Use the revealed flag and region as supporting memory cues after you answer. They add context without giving away the country before the question is complete.
Watch for capitals shared with familiar city names
Some capital names resemble country names, while others are better known as travel destinations or large cities. Pause long enough to identify the country rather than choosing the first nearby name that feels familiar.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Country from Capital work?
Each question displays a capital city name without showing the country or its flag. Choose one of four countries or type the country yourself, then reveal the flag and complete country–capital pair. This page uses Flagzy’s complete 195-country collection.
Is this the same as the Capital City Quiz?
No. The Capital City Quiz gives you a country and asks for its capital. Country from Capital reverses that direction for capital city-to-country practice: you see the capital and identify the country.
How do I name the country from a capital city?
Start with multiple choice while the pairs are unfamiliar, then open Settings and choose Type answer. The autocomplete helps with spelling, but you still need to recall and enter the country yourself.
Which countries are included?
The game draws from Flagzy’s complete 195-country collection. Every round uses countries with a recorded capital city.
