African Flags Quiz

The African flags quiz deals all 54 flags of Africa — the biggest flag challenge on this site and the deepest pool of near-identical designs anywhere in vexillology. The root of the trouble is the pan-African palette: after Ghana raised its green-yellow-red in 1957, half the continent followed. Mali flies the plain green-yellow-red tricolor, Guinea flies it reversed (red-yellow-green), and Senegal is Mali plus one green star — a three-flag family that sinks more players than anything else in the deck. Chad, meanwhile, flies a blue-yellow-red tricolor almost pixel-identical to Romania's — a genuine diplomatic sore point between the two countries. Liberia looks like the US flag with a single star, a deliberate tribute by its African-American founders, and Ethiopia, Cameroon, Guinea-Bissau, and Benin keep remixing the same three colors with stars and bands. Up north, Egypt, Sudan, and Libya swap pan-Arab red-white-black variations. Each round shows one flag with four country options; a correct pick lights the country green on the map of Africa, anchoring flag to location, and a miss reveals the answer immediately so the pattern sticks. Free, browser-based, no signup — reshuffled every round until the tricolor soup finally resolves.
