Guess the Flag — classic flag-to-country challenge

This is the quintessential geography quiz: a full national flag appears and you name the country it represents. No tricks, no timers — just pure flag knowledge tested across all 194 UN member states. Each puzzle is randomly drawn, so every round feels fresh. Use the continent filter when you want to master West African flags, European tricolors, or any single region before taking on the whole world.

How to play

Study the flag displayed in the puzzle area. Search for a country by name and submit your guess — you have six attempts. Each incorrect answer reveals a new hint: continent, population range, land-area range, first letter of the country name, capital city, and subregion. When you win or lose, review the answer and start a new round instantly.
