Tips to play better
Use the capital stored in the quiz
The quiz uses Naypyidaw for Myanmar, Astana for Kazakhstan, Kuala Lumpur for Malaysia and Jakarta for Indonesia. These are the playable prompts. The quiz does not offer every administrative seat or proposed future capital as an alternative.
Trap pairs to memorise
Turkey: Ankara, not Istanbul. India: New Delhi, not Mumbai. Pakistan: Islamabad, not Karachi. China: Beijing, not Shanghai. In each case the largest or most famous city is not the political capital. Use the capital shown to identify the correct country and its territory.
Learn three Caucasus pairs
Tbilisi belongs to Georgia, Yerevan to Armenia and Baku to Azerbaijan in the dataset. These three countries are grouped with Asia, so practise each capital-country pair in this regional quiz.
Keep the Gulf pairs separate
Riyadh–Saudi Arabia, Doha–Qatar, Manama–Bahrain, Abu Dhabi–United Arab Emirates, Kuwait City–Kuwait and Muscat–Oman are separate pairs. In particular, the UAE prompt is Abu Dhabi rather than Dubai.
Practise Southeast Asian pairs
Bangkok–Thailand, Hanoi–Vietnam, Phnom Penh–Cambodia, Vientiane–Laos, Manila–Philippines, Jakarta–Indonesia, Kuala Lumpur–Malaysia, Bandar Seri Begawan–Brunei and Dili–East Timor are useful pairs to practise together.
