Click START to begin - then fill in the 100 squares with World countries (see NAMING NOTE below) based on the categories in the rows and cells. For example, if you are looking at a cell with 'Asia' in its row, and 'Starts With A' in the column, that cell can be filled in with 'Armenia.' Many shortened names of countries are accepted, such as DRC, CAR, UAE, UK, US, etc. Answering a country which doesn't fit in any remaining unanswered cell will end the quiz.
Occasionally a cell may not have a qualifying answer, in which case it will appear blank and be a gimme. After completing the quiz you can simply click RESTART to play again.
Please note that 'star on flag' does not include a representation of the Sun.
Scoring is based on 100 points for each correct (or blank) square, and 5 points are subtracted for every second used on the quiz. So you are rewarded for getting squares quickly, however be careful as not to name a country which doesn't qualify for an open cell.
NAMING NOTE: You must type a '.' (period) after a country name or abbreviation to submit it, to prevent entering a country you don't want to (i.e. Guinea when you want to enter Guinea Bissau). For country naming purposes, the following names are used: Cote d'Ivoire, Timor-Leste.

Los Angeles was valid with 100-250K population for “south of -20 latitude”, but not for “USA”
That’s the one in Chile.
Cool, thx, would be nice to have that information added to the answer, though. 😉
the one in USA has 10+ million people…
Vasco da Gama is not listed as a 2+ word city in India. It is, it’s the largest city in Goa, 100,000 people.
per my source it’s contained within Mormugao…

Hmm – I’ve been to Vasco da Gama and I would disagree. Wikipedia has them both down as different cities too. Vasco da Gama is actually the capital city of Goa. However, it’s your game so up to you 🙂 (and it’s a fantastic game, no complaints – just suggestions!)
yeah i stick to my source for counting and naming populations as they go by the censuses – Wikipedia is not a good source in general. otherwise I have to compare numbers and results from different sources which doesn’t work well 🙂
Shouldn’t technically all three capital cities work for South Africa (ie Bloemfontein and Cape Town *as well as* Pretoria)?
for my capital cities quizzes I just use administrative for capitals, so wanted to keep it consistent for this one as well.
cool idea!
Really love these quizzes, would love to see more of this kind!!
