You select the country’s territory, not the city’s location.
The starter round contains 12 countries with a 180-second timer. The grid lists the full Oceania capitals pool of 14 countries and territories, available in the full game. Rotate and zoom across the Pacific, using markers for small playable countries.

Tips to play better
Link Canberra and Wellington to their countries
Canberra is the capital for Australia; Wellington is the capital for New Zealand. Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland do not appear as alternative capital prompts in this quiz.
Melanesian quartet
Port Moresby for Papua New Guinea, Honiara for the Solomon Islands, Port Vila for Vanuatu, Suva for Fiji. Four capitals on four large island countries, all west or northwest of the central Pacific. Memorise this group together and you cover most of the Melanesian round.
Practise Samoa, Tonga and Tuvalu
Apia belongs to Samoa, Nuku’alofa to Tonga and Funafuti to Tuvalu. These are separate capital-country pairs. After identifying the country, use its territory or marker on the globe.
Learn the smaller Pacific capital pairs
South Tarawa–Kiribati, Yaren–Nauru, Majuro–Marshall Islands, Palikir–Federated States of Micronesia and Ngerulmud–Palau are in the dataset. Practise one pair at a time rather than treating the names as interchangeable.
