From Australia to the atolls of Tuvalu, name Oceania countries with the keyboard or by voice on the 3D globe. Microphone optional.

Name the countries of Oceania from memory with the keyboard or by voice: the microphone is optional. Australia and New Zealand are useful starting names, then try Fiji, Papua New Guinea and the other Pacific countries in the order you choose. No country is highlighted for you to identify before answering.

The full Oceania pool contains 14 countries and territories, listed in the grid. The starter round contains these 14 countries with a 120-second timer.

Tips to play better

  • Keep similar names separate

    Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Nauru are three different entries. Recall them as a small group, then check the grid after a game to see which names you still need to practise. There is no highlighted target before each answer.

  • Micronesia is also a country name

    Micronesia and Federated States of Micronesia are accepted names for one entry. If you prefer to play quietly or voice recognition misses the name, type it with the keyboard.

  • Practise names one at a time

    Kiribati, Palau, Tonga and Samoa are separate answers. Give speech recognition a clear country name rather than a sentence containing several names, and check the transcript if the match fails.

  • Papua New Guinea is one answer

    Use the full name Papua New Guinea. It is a separate entry from Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. A complete name avoids relying on an abbreviation that the recogniser may transcribe differently.

Frequently asked questions

Are New Caledonia or French Polynesia included?

No. New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Guam, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands are not separate targets in the current Oceania dataset. The grid lists the 14 countries and territories available in the full regional pool.

Does the globe highlight the next country?

No. You recall a country name from the game selection and enter it in your chosen order. Classic mode does not give you a highlighted island or an automatic zoom to identify before speaking.

Does the engine accept abbreviations like PNG or FSM?

Use the full country names Papua New Guinea and Federated States of Micronesia. Speech recognition of abbreviations varies by browser and device. You can also type a name with the keyboard without microphone permission.

How many countries are in the Oceania round?

The full Oceania pool contains 14 countries and territories. The starter round uses the 14 available entries with a 120-second timer. Hawaii and Easter Island are not separate targets in this selection.

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.
