CapitalsQuiz

CapitalsQuiz is a browser-based geography quiz with rounds of ten multiple-choice questions, four options per question, and a pool of more than 195 countries. Its 13 modes cover capitals, flags, maps, US states, currencies, populations, country shapes, languages, fun facts, regional quizzes, time attack, and a daily challenge. After a wrong answer, players see the correct one, then can view and share their score. Free play allows five games per day per device across the free modes. No account or download is needed to begin, and each premium mode lets players try its first three questions without an account. A subscription does require an account. The web subscription follows the account across browsers where the user signs in; an App Store subscription unlocks the iOS app, and the two plans are separate purchases until linked. The listed web options are free, $3.99 per month, or $29.99 per year, billed once annually. The service is operated by IT Nest Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong.

CapitalsQuiz offers quick rounds across a range of geography subjects, with a limited free daily allowance and previews for premium modes. Check which platform you intend to use before subscribing, since web and iOS purchases are separate until linked.

It suits players who want short geography quiz rounds in a browser or on iOS. The maker says the quizzes suit school-age players, while accounts and subscriptions require contract age or a parent acting for the player.

CapitalsQuiz is a geography quiz for the web and iOS, built around short multiple-choice rounds. It suits casual learners who want to practice across country topics without an initial account or download. Its broad range of modes is appealing, but the free daily cap and separate web and iOS subscriptions are important constraints.

Overview

Each game presents ten questions with four answer choices, drawn from a pool of more than 195 countries. A wrong answer reveals the correct one, and players can view and share their score at the end. This makes CapitalsQuiz a good fit for quick recall practice; it is less suited to learners looking for a structured course.

Players can start without signing in, and each premium mode lets them try the first three questions of a round free. That is a useful preview, though it stops well short of a full round. The maker says the quizzes suit school-age players, but an account and subscription require the player to be of contract age or have a parent act for them.

Key features

• Thirteen quiz modes: The selection includes capitals, flags, maps, a daily challenge, US states, time attack, currencies, populations, country shapes, languages, fun facts, and regional quizzes. That range gives paid play more variety than capitals alone; free users are limited to the free modes.
• Short rounds and score feedback: The ten-question format is easy to fit into a break, and seeing the right answer after a miss makes each mistake informative. The stated play flow centers on answering and scoring rather than a broader learning program.
• Progress tracking and offline access: Both are listed as capabilities, which may help players who want to continue away from a connection. The core offering remains a quiz rather than a course.
• Account and privacy choices: Sign-in uses Google or a one-time email link; the maker says it does not see or store passwords. It also says its event collector stores no cookie, device ID, or IP address with events, loads no third-party analytics or advertising scripts, and does not sell personal data or share it for advertising. Web payments go through Stripe, which receives the account identifier and email; the maker says it does not receive or store card numbers.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes free quiz modes, five games per day per device, and no account requirement. That is enough for occasional practice, but the per-device cap limits daily use.

Monthly costs $3.99 a month, billed every month, and unlocks all 13 modes with no daily game limit. It is the more flexible paid option for someone who wants full access without an annual commitment; it can be canceled anytime.

Yearly costs $29.99 a year, billed once a year ($2.50/month), and includes the same 13 modes without a daily limit. It suits regular players willing to pay upfront; it can also be canceled anytime. The lower monthly equivalent comes with an annual billing commitment.

The web subscription follows the account across browsers where the subscriber signs in. An App Store subscription unlocks the iOS app, while a web subscription unlocks the website; they are separate purchases until linked. Check which platform you plan to use before subscribing.

Platforms

CapitalsQuiz is available on web and iOS. The browser version requires no download, and players can begin without an account; an account is required to subscribe. The different unlocks for web and iOS make platform choice relevant for paid users.

Who it's for

It is a sensible choice for casual geography learners who want varied, short rounds and a low-friction way to sample the free modes. The paid plans make more sense for frequent players who want all 13 modes and no daily cap. Those seeking extended free play or a structured course should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: A pool of more than 195 countries and 13 modes offers varied geography practice; no account or download is needed to start; premium modes provide a three-question preview.
• Cons: Free play stops at five games per day per device; previews cover only the opening questions of premium rounds; web and iOS subscriptions are separate until linked.

Alternatives

For a different geography option, browse the Geography Learning Apps list.

• GeoCapitals is another freemium option on iOS and web; its free download has limited initial access, with most modes, extra coaching sessions, and the full Atlas reserved for optional Pro.
• Where is that? offers free daily play and all categories in online multiplayer, and has a free trial; consider it if those terms and its Android or iOS availability suit you better.
• World Map & Countries has a free selection of countries with ads, plus an All Countries Premium option for $4.99, paid once; consider it for a one-time unlock rather than a recurring plan.
• World Quest for Kids starts with more than 30 countries and offers an ad-free entire-world plan at $3.99 a month; it may fit families prioritizing a kids-focused option.
• GeoGuess offers unlimited gameplay without ads, trackers, or a subscription, making it a stronger fit for readers who prioritize unrestricted free play.

• Myatlastic has a free tier with every country, photos, a 3D globe, spoken tours, a phrasebook, passports, and Kids mode; consider it if those learning tools matter more than CapitalsQuiz's quiz focus.

Verdict

CapitalsQuiz is best for casual players who want quick geography practice across several topics, with a useful free starting point and a clear route to unlimited play. Its strongest reason to choose it is the variety of short quiz modes; its strongest reason to look elsewhere is the five-game free cap, compounded for subscribers by the need to match a purchase to the platform they intend to use.
