How many flags are in the flags of the Americas quiz?

35 — all 23 North American countries (Canada, the US, Mexico, Central America, and thirteen Caribbean island states) plus all 12 South American countries, combined into one hemisphere-wide deck.

Which flags of the Americas are most alike?

Two families cause most misses: the Gran Colombia tricolors of Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela, and the Central American blue-white-blue trio of El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras, which differ only in their central emblems.

Which country's flag is different on each side?

Paraguay — the only national flag in the world with different obverse and reverse designs: the national coat of arms on the front and the treasury seal with a lion on the back.

Flags of the Americas Quiz — 35 Flags | Free Map Game

The flags of the Americas quiz spans two continents — 35 flags from Canada down to Chile and Argentina, one hemisphere-sized deck of lookalikes. The openers are friendly: the Stars and Stripes, Canada's maple leaf, Brazil's green diamond and starry globe. The traps live in the middle. Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela all fly the same yellow-blue-red tricolor inherited from Gran Colombia — Ecuador stacks a coat of arms on it, Venezuela adds an arc of eight stars, and Colombia leaves it plain. Central America is even tighter: El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras all descend from the blue-white-blue banner of the old Federal Republic of Central America, differing only in the emblem or the five small stars at the center. Chile's lone-star flag gets mistaken for Texas constantly, Paraguay hides a different emblem on each side — the only national flag in the world that does — and the Caribbean counters with unmistakable designs like Barbados' black trident and Grenada's nutmeg. Each round shows one flag and four countries; guess right and the country flashes green on a map stretching from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, guess wrong and the answer appears on the spot. Free, no signup, reshuffled every round.

How to play

A national flag appears above the map — the country stays unmarked until you commit.
Pick the country it belongs to from the four options; your answer then colours that country in on the map, green if you were right.
Answer all 35 to see your final score, then replay in a new shuffled order.
