How do you play Flag Quiz?
Look at the waving flag in the middle and tap the country that flies it, out of four choices. A right answer turns green and pops confetti. A wrong one shakes the flag and the correct choice blinks green.
The flags are not image files. Every stripe, cross, star, disc, crescent and taegeuk is drawn in code, and the cloth ripples with soft shading in the folds. Busy emblems such as the eagle of Mexico or the coat of arms of Ecuador are simplified just enough to stay recognizable. Look-alike flags are mixed into the choices on purpose, so going by colour alone will trip you up.
What modes does Flag Quiz have?
There are five: 10 Question Challenge, Survival, Reverse, Daily 10 and Practice. Every mode except Daily 10 uses only the flags of the continent you pick.
| Mode | Rules | Record kept |
|---|---|---|
| 10 Question Challenge | Ten flags. 100 points per right answer plus up to 50 more for answering within 5 seconds | Best score per continent |
| Survival | One miss, or more than 10 seconds on a flag, ends the run | Longest streak |
| Reverse | See the country name and pick its flag from four. Ten questions | Best score per continent |
| Daily 10 | The same ten flags with the same choices for everyone each day | Daily check-in |
| Practice | Never ends. Each answer shows the capital, continent and look-alike flag, and missed flags come back a few questions later | Correct count and streak |
Which countries are in the quiz?
105 countries from six continents: 26 in Asia, 30 in Europe, 22 in Africa, 10 in North America, 10 in South America and 7 in Oceania.
You get familiar flags like South Korea, Japan, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Canada, Brazil and Australia, along with harder ones like Bahrain, Chad, Palau and Tonga. The continent buttons on the start screen narrow the pool, and Americas combines the 20 countries of North and South America. Flags sit on 3:2 cards, except square Switzerland and the double pennant of Nepal, which keep their real shapes.
Which flags are the easiest to mix up?
Several pairs share almost the same colours and layout. These often appear side by side in the choices, so it helps to remember the one detail that tells them apart.
| Look-alikes | How to tell them apart |
|---|---|
| Indonesia · Monaco · Poland | Indonesia and Monaco are red over white and differ only in their official proportions. Poland is the other way round, white on top |
| Chad · Romania | Both are blue, yellow and red vertical bands. The blue of Chad is a little darker |
| Netherlands · Luxembourg | Red, white and blue horizontal bands. Luxembourg uses a lighter sky blue |
| Australia · New Zealand | Both have a navy field with the Union Jack. Australia has six white stars, New Zealand four red stars outlined in white |
| Ireland · Côte d'Ivoire | Green, white and orange in opposite order. Green next to the pole means Ireland |
| Senegal · Mali | Green, yellow and red vertical bands. A green star in the middle means Senegal |
| Colombia · Ecuador | Yellow, blue and red with yellow taking half. A coat of arms in the centre means Ecuador |
| Italy · Mexico | Green, white and red vertical bands. The eagle emblem in the middle means Mexico |
| Norway · Iceland | The field and cross colours are swapped. Red field with a blue cross is Norway, blue field with a red cross is Iceland |
| Qatar · Bahrain | A white serrated band at the hoist. Qatar is maroon with nine points, Bahrain is red with five |
What are Daily 10 and challenge links?
Daily 10 changes at midnight Korea time, and on any given day everyone gets the same flags in the same order with the same choices. Finishing it adds a check-in to your daily record.
Play the 10 Question Challenge with all continents and tap Share result to get a challenge link that holds the exact question order. Anyone who opens it plays the same ten flags, which makes it easy to compete with friends, classmates or family.
How can I learn the flags faster?
- Check the stripe direction first. Telling horizontal from vertical bands halves the choices.
- Remember the colour next to the pole. Pairs like Ireland and Côte d'Ivoire differ only in that first band.
- Look for a centre mark. A star, a disc or an emblem separates Senegal from Mali and Italy from Mexico.
- Practise one continent at a time. Practice mode shows capitals and look-alikes after every answer, so flags stick quickly.
- Review your misses. The result screen lists the flags you got wrong. Take one more look, then go again.

Best scores, your chosen continent and the sound setting stay in this browser and are never sent to a server. The flags are simplified for easy recognition, so fine proportions and emblem details can differ from the official designs.
