Name Asian Countries with the Keyboard or by Voice
Play nowFrom the Caucasus to the Pacific Rim, name Asian countries with the keyboard or by voice on the 3D globe. Microphone optional.
Name Asian countries from memory with the keyboard or by voice: the microphone is optional. Choose your own order, whether you start with Japan and China, the Central Asian republics or the countries of Southeast Asia. There is no highlighted target to name before each answer.
The short starter round gives you 120 seconds to find 15 selected countries. The grid lists the full Asia pool of 50 countries and territories, available in the full game.

Tips to play better
Use the names in the grid
Myanmar is the English label in the dataset. East Timor and Timor-Leste are both accepted names for the same entry. If a name is not recognised, check its spelling in the grid after the game rather than relying on an unlisted nickname.
Recall the five Central Asian republics
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan form a useful group to practise together. In classic mode you can enter them consecutively in the order you remember.
Work through the Arabian Peninsula
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Yemen are separate entries in the Asia pool. Try the full country name when an abbreviation gives an uncertain match.
Separate names with similar forms
North Korea and South Korea are two different answers. If voice recognition misses a name, type it with the keyboard. The microphone is optional, and you can change input method during the same game.
Frequently asked questions
Is Russia in Asia or Europe in this quiz?
The game places Russia in the Europe pool. It is absent from the Asia selection and appears once in the world pool. Turkey, Cyprus and the three Caucasus countries are grouped with Asia.
How do I answer when voice recognition misses a name?
Try the name on its own and check the transcript. Browser recognition can vary by device and background noise. You can type the country name with the keyboard if speaking it does not work.
Are small countries such as Singapore included?
Yes. Singapore, Bahrain, Brunei and Maldives are separate entries in the full Asia pool. Classic mode accepts names from the current game selection without displaying a target to identify.
How many countries are available in the Asia quiz?
The full selection contains 50 countries and territories, listed in the grid. The short starter round uses 15 selected countries with a 120-second timer. The dataset includes Taiwan, Cyprus and Palestine as separate entries; it is not a list limited to UN member states.
Can I play without a microphone or speech recognition?
Yes, the microphone is optional: classic mode supports the keyboard or voice. Voice needs speech recognition in your browser and microphone permission; availability depends on the browser and device. If speech recognition is unavailable or permission is denied, continue the same game with the keyboard, without changing modes.
