About the map of South America

South America contains 12 countries you can click on the map above. The map is real geography, not a simplified diagram, so borders, enclaves and island groups all appear where they belong.

Scale is the hard part here: Brazil covers 8,515,767 km² while Suriname occupies 163,820 km², and both count for exactly one point.

2 of these countries are landlocked, among them Bolivia and Paraguay, and 0 have no land border at all. Those two groups are where most map mistakes happen.

Play through all 12 and the ones you keep missing will be listed at the end, each linking to its own page.

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.
