About the capitals of Central America

Central America has 7 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: Guatemala holds 18.7 million people while Belize has 423 thousand. By land area Nicaragua covers 130,373 km² against 21,041 km² for El Salvador.

The largest country by population in Central America is Guatemala, whose capital is Guatemala City. Purpose-built and relocated capitals are common enough here that the largest city is often the wrong answer.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 7 entries in Central America. 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.
