Frequently Asked Questions

How many countries and capitals does the quiz cover?
You can include all 195 internationally recognized countries and their capitals. For shorter quizzes, select a subset based on continent, difficulty level, or the specific curriculum you are following.
Can I include trick questions about disputed or changed capitals?
Yes. Some countries have recently changed their capital or have multiple cities that serve as administrative and legislative capitals. These make excellent challenging questions for advanced geography students.
How do I make the quiz appropriate for younger students?
Focus on well-known capitals, use large font sizes, add colorful flag images, and limit the quiz to 10 to 15 questions. Shorter quizzes with visual elements maintain attention and build confidence.
Can participants retake the quiz to improve their score?
Yes. You can allow unlimited retakes. Each attempt is recorded separately, so both you and the participant can track improvement over time. This is ideal for study-focused use cases.
Is there a way to add hints to difficult questions?
Use the hint feature to provide a clue, such as the continent or first letter of the capital. Hints can be optional, and you can deduct points for using them to maintain competitive integrity.
