About the flags of South America

South America has 12 flags to learn, 12 of them belonging to UN member states. This quiz draws its questions from all of them, and the complete list with names and capitals sits directly below the game.

The countries behind those flags differ enormously in scale. Brazil covers 8,515,767 km² while Suriname fits into 163,820 km². Brazil is home to 212.8 million people; Suriname has 640 thousand.

Across South America the recurring colours are red, blue and yellow. Of the 12 flags here, 9 carry red — which is exactly why colour on its own is a weak way to tell them apart.

The pairs that actually cost people points in South America are Argentina–Uruguay, Colombia–Ecuador and Colombia–Venezuela. There are 4 look-alike pairings inside this region, so it is worth learning the one detail that separates each pair rather than the general impression.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 12 entries in South 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.
