The Country Guessing Game

Login | Register

Welcome to my country guessing game. The Continents section is a good spot to look through all of the countries in the world, filterable by continent. The Country Guesser page is a simple guessing game based on country flags and population. The Capital Guesser page works the same way, but you have to guess the country's capital city. In the future, more games will be added, such as a population guessing version, and hopefully a few more.

Learning is largely through repetition, and it should be fun. I found that playing games and creating recognizable patterns and associations makes learning not only easier, but more effective and enjoyable. I hope that playing the games on this site are not only fun, but productive towards learning about the countries of the world.
