South America map quiz

The twelve countries of South America: find each one, or name it as it lights up.

How it works

  1. Choose Find, Name or Learn.
  2. Find: tap the country named at the top. You have three tries; after the third it is shown to you. Skip (or the S key) saves a country for the end of the round, with the tries it has left.
  3. Name: the country lit up on the map is the question; type its name. Spelling slips in long names are forgiven.
  4. Drag to move the map, pinch or use + and − to zoom. Very small countries carry a dot you can tap.
  5. At the end you see your score and time, and can play only the ones you missed.

Why play here

A short round
Twelve countries make a quick first round. Try the typing mode once you get them all.
Typing is free
The harder Name mode, where you type each country, costs nothing here.
Learn before you play
Learn mode lets you explore the map freely before a timed round.
Practise what you missed
One tap replays just the countries you got wrong, until you know them all.

Questions

Is French Guiana asked?

No. French Guiana is part of France, so tapping it counts as France, which is not in this round.

Why is the Falklands area grey?

The Falkland Islands are a British overseas territory, also claimed by Argentina; territories are not asked.
