uizzLocate Countries in the Americas from Their Capitals
Play nowTake a capitals quiz for the Americas on an interactive 3D globe. Read each capital, then click its country from Canada to Patagonia.
Read a capital from the Americas, then click or tap its country on the interactive 3D globe. The quiz uses Brasília for Brazil, Sucre for Bolivia and Ottawa for Canada. You need the capital-country link, then the country’s territory; you do not need to click the capital city itself.
The starter round contains 12 countries with a 180-second timer. The grid lists the full Americas capitals pool of 36 countries and territories, available in the full game. Rotate and zoom the globe yourself, using markers for small playable countries.

Tips to play better
Brazil and Argentina, two opposite cases
Brazil's capital is Brasília, not the coastal Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo. Argentina's capital is Buenos Aires, which is also the largest city — no trap there. Knowing which countries did relocate and which did not is half the battle in this region.
Bolivia uses Sucre in this quiz
Sucre is Bolivia’s constitutional capital and the only Bolivian capital used as a prompt in this quiz. When Sucre appears, click Bolivia. La Paz is the seat of government, but it is not an alternative playable prompt.
Keep Central American pairs distinct
Belmopan–Belize, Guatemala City–Guatemala, San Salvador–El Salvador, Tegucigalpa–Honduras, Managua–Nicaragua, San José–Costa Rica and Panama City–Panama are seven separate pairs. Practise the capital link before finding the territory on the globe.
Learn the Caribbean capital links
Havana–Cuba, Kingston–Jamaica, Santo Domingo–Dominican Republic, Port-au-Prince–Haiti, Nassau–The Bahamas, Bridgetown–Barbados and Port of Spain–Trinidad and Tobago are useful pairs. A city’s familiarity does not determine whether it is the capital prompt.
Separate Guyana and Suriname
Georgetown is the capital for Guyana and Paramaribo for Suriname. French Guiana is not a separate target in the current dataset. Practise the two playable pairs independently.
Frequently asked questions
Which capital does the quiz use for Brazil?
Brasília is the stored prompt for Brazil. Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo are not alternative playable prompts. When Brasília appears, select Brazil’s territory on the globe.
Is Washington D.C. the same as Washington State?
No. Washington D.C. is the capital prompt for the United States. This mode asks you to select the whole country rather than a city, state or federal district.
Does Bolivia have more than one playable capital prompt?
No. The quiz uses Sucre for Bolivia. La Paz is the seat of government but does not appear as an alternative prompt in this quiz.
How many countries does the Americas capitals quiz cover?
The full selection contains 36 countries and territories, listed in the grid. The starter round uses 12 countries with a 180-second timer. The full dataset includes the Falkland Islands; the grid is the reference for available targets.
