Name Africa countries from their capitals
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.
Build short country–capital groups
Split the continent into North, West, East, Central and Southern Africa before attempting the full set. Smaller regional groups make neighbouring countries and similar names easier to separate.
Practise nearby pairs together, such as Ghana–Accra, Nigeria–Abuja and Niger–Niamey. Once the group is familiar, switch to typed answers to check the spelling.
- Learn the five subregions separately
- Compare neighbouring countries
- Replay misspelled answers before a full round
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 Africa 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 the 54 countries in the Africa set.
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 Africa countries from their capitals?
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 Africa countries are included?
The game draws only from the 54 countries in Flagzy’s Africa collection.
