49 — covering Western Asia (Ankara, Riyadh, Jerusalem), Central Asia (Astana, Bishkek, Dushanbe), South Asia (New Delhi, Islamabad, Kathmandu), Southeast Asia (Bangkok, Hanoi, Jakarta), and East Asia (Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Pyongyang).

Which Asian capitals are most commonly missed?

Naypyidaw (Myanmar, not Yangon), Ankara (Turkey, not Istanbul), Hanoi (Vietnam, not Ho Chi Minh City), Astana (Kazakhstan), and the Central Asian set of Bishkek, Dushanbe, and Ashgabat are the biggest point-losers.

Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, the official legislative capital — not Colombo, the commercial hub next door. It is the longest capital name in the quiz and a favorite trick question in geography competitions.

Asia Capitals Quiz — 49 Capital Cities of Asia | Free Map Game

Loading interactive map…

The Asia capitals quiz spans 49 countries from Turkey to Japan — the widest sweep of any continental capitals game and the one with the most moved, renamed, and purpose-built capitals to trip you up. Each question highlights a country on the map of Asia and offers four capital choices. Tokyo, Beijing, and New Delhi get you comfortable; then the curveballs arrive. Myanmar's capital is not Yangon but Naypyidaw, built from scratch in the 2000s. Kazakhstan's is Astana, a city that has changed names four times. Turkey answers Ankara, never Istanbul, and Vietnam answers Hanoi, not the larger Ho Chi Minh City. Sri Lanka brings the longest capital name in the quiz — Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte — while the Central Asian 'stans' line up Bishkek, Dushanbe, Ashgabat, and Tashkent and dare you to match them to the right country. Because the country stays highlighted on the map while you answer, every question doubles as location practice for the world's largest continent. Wrong picks reveal the correct capital instantly, and the deck reshuffles each round.
