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.

I’ve added more starting time and bigger bonuses starting at 50 instead of 100 now 🙂
First attempt, not too bad… Europe: 92/92 North America: 36/46 South America: 24/24 Africa: 86/108 Asia: 94/96 Countries: 184/197 Capitals: 163/197
Under answer stats, Oceania is missing. Is it possible to add? 🙂
So, If you want to have a lot of time towards the continents with a lot of countries such as asia and africa, start of with south america, then oceania (you don’t get a time increase for completing oceania), by then, you’ll have that 50 mark and get another time boost, then go north america and you’ll have enough time to complete europe, then do asia, then africa and you should be good. But in order to get the time boost, you must get all countries and capitals in each continent. And you get a time boost every 50 answers up until 200 and then you rely on completing continents for more time.
it’s about time that I got all 394
but at least we don’t need to type out “Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte” every time 🙂
The capital of Malta isn’t Malta. It’s Valetta. Ans why does Cape Town, Bloemfontein or Pretoria not work as Capital of South Africa?
Valletta is the listed capital in the quiz. Pretoria works for South Africa
It was a bit unexpected that some country names in this quiz do not use the common short forms from other quizzes but need the long form “X and Y” name.
yes I was a little more strict on this quiz when it comes to full country names
i understand that for something like antigua and barbuda or trinidad and tobago, but with something like equatorial guinea, i feel like eq guinea or just equatorial should count as its clear the person knows what they’re putting, might just be my opinion though
