About the shapes of the Americas

Stripped of colour and context, 35 American countries are surprisingly hard to name. Each outline below is drawn to the same frame, so relative size gives nothing away.

The extremes tell you why: Canada at 9,984,670 km² and Saint Kitts and Nevis at 261 km² are both scaled to fill the same box, so you are judging form alone.

Coastline does most of the work in the Americas. Countries with a distinctive peninsula or island chain are recognised quickly; compact inland shapes are the ones that stall people.

The pairs that actually cost people points in the Americas are Canada–Peru, Cuba–Chile and El Salvador–Argentina. There are 15 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 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.
