About the capitals of the Americas
The Americas has 35 capital cities to learn. Some are the country's obvious largest city, and a good number are deliberately not — which is where a capitals quiz earns its keep.
The spread is wide: United States holds 341.8 million people while Saint Kitts and Nevis has 47 thousand. By land area Canada covers 9,984,670 km² against 261 km² for Saint Kitts and Nevis.
The largest country by population in the Americas is United States, whose capital is Washington D.C.. Purpose-built and relocated capitals are common enough here that the largest city is often the wrong answer.
The table below lists all 35 countries of the Americas against their capitals, so you can read it as a study sheet and then come back and play.

Frequently asked questions
How many countries are in this quiz?
This quiz covers all 35 entries in the Americas. Questions are drawn from the full set, and the complete list appears in the table on this page.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your score stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.
How are the wrong answers chosen?
Deliberately, not at random. Each question prefers flags that are genuinely confusable with the right answer, then countries from the same sub-region, so guessing by elimination does not work.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free with no limit on how many times you play.
