Flag Quiz: The World Countries

A red maple leaf. Too easy. Green, white and orange stripes — Ireland, obviously. Now flip it: orange, white, green. Not Ireland. Type it if you know it.

Flag Quiz is for people who answer before the question is finished. No multiple choice here — no four safe buttons to hide behind. One flag on the screen, a rack of letter tiles below it, and you, spelling the country yourself. Anyone can get lucky with choices. Typing I-V-O-R-Y C-O-A-S-T is knowing. (And now you know.)

HOW IT PLAYS
Every right answer earns coins. Every wall you hit, spend them — reveal a letter, take a hint, get moving again. No timer, no rush: study a mystery flag as long as you like. The early levels hand out wins. The late ones take them back.

WHAT'S INSIDE
173 flags of the world, from the ones on every backpack to the ones that stump geography teachers. Difficulty that climbs level by level. Coin-powered hints and letter reveals for the brutal ones. Works offline — planes, road trips, dead zones. Family-friendly: kids learn them, parents relearn them.

BETTER OUT LOUD
Pass the phone around and watch the room split. Dad is certain. Grandma is certain. They can't both be right — the flag is red, white and blue, and so are thirty other countries. Road trips, classrooms, family game night: the argument-starter that ends with everyone smarter.

Fair warning: Indonesia and Monaco are nearly the same flag. Poland is both of them upside down. Somewhere in there, everyone stops smiling.

You'll come for the flags you know. You'll stay for the ones you were sure you knew. 173 flags. The maple leaf doesn't count. Start typing.
