North America Capitals Quiz

23 capitals · pick the capital from 4 choices · free, no signup

Loading interactive map…

The North America capitals quiz highlights one of the continent's 23 countries on an interactive map and asks you to pick its capital from four options — and the easy opening hides a brutal back half. Washington, D.C., Ottawa, and Mexico City are the warm-up everyone survives. Central America starts the filtering: Belize answers Belmopan, not Belize City, and the Tegucigalpa–San Salvador–Managua run has ended plenty of streaks. Then come the thirteen Caribbean nations, where the quiz is really decided. Jamaica's Kingston and Saint Vincent's Kingstown are one letter apart and appear as each other's distractors. Saint Kitts and Nevis answers Basseterre, Guadeloupe-adjacent Dominica answers Roseau, and Antigua and Barbuda hides Saint John's — capitals most players have simply never been asked before. Because each question keeps the country highlighted on the map while you answer, you learn where Grenada is at the same moment you learn that its capital is Saint George's. Wrong answers reveal the correct capital instantly, the order reshuffles every round, and a clean run through all 23 puts you comfortably ahead of any pub quiz Caribbean round.

How to play

  2. Pick its capital city from the four options below the map — correct answers turn green, wrong ones reveal the right capital instantly.

N. America Capitals map quiz — FAQ

How many capitals are in the North America capitals quiz?
23 — Canada, the United States, and Mexico, the seven Central American countries, and the thirteen Caribbean island nations from the Bahamas (Nassau) to Trinidad and Tobago (Port of Spain).
Which North American capitals are missed most?
The Caribbean set: Basseterre (Saint Kitts and Nevis), Castries (Saint Lucia), Roseau (Dominica), and Saint George's (Grenada). Belmopan — Belize moved its capital inland after a hurricane wrecked Belize City in 1961 — is the top Central American trap.
What is the difference between Kingston and Kingstown?
Kingston is the capital of Jamaica; Kingstown is the capital of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The near-identical names make them the most confused capital pair in the Americas, and this quiz uses each as a distractor for the other.
