Asia capitals quiz: 46 questions, from Astana to Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte

The map of Asia asks 46 capitals. It shows 49 places, but Hong Kong, Macao and Palestine have no capital in the quiz and are skipped; Russia and Türkiye are grey here, as they are asked in the Europe quiz. Each question lights a country and offers four capitals: the right one, two of the six nearest countries’ capitals and one with the same first letter, where there is one.

  1. Press Start: the bar reads “Asia · 46 left” and the first country lights up, with “What is the capital of Kazakhstan?” above four buttons.
  2. A wrong pick turns red; a second wrong pick shows the right answer and counts the question as missed.
  3. At the end you get the score (first tries only, out of 46), the time and the missed countries with their capitals; “Practise the ones I missed” replays just those.
Country lit Right answer Six nearest capitals (two are offered) Same first letter
Kazakhstan AstanaTashkent, Bishkek, Dushanbe, Ashgabat, Kabul, BakuAbu Dhabi, Amman, Ashgabat
Mongolia UlaanbaatarBeijing, Pyongyang, Seoul, Bishkek, Thimphu, AstanaNone: the fourth is any other capital

Pakistan IslamabadKabul, Dushanbe, Bishkek, Ashgabat, Tehran, TashkentNone
Sri Lanka Sri Jayawardenepura KotteMalé, New Delhi, Dhaka, Naypyidaw, Kathmandu, ThimphuSeoul, Singapore, Sanaa
Myanmar NaypyidawVientiane, Dhaka, Bangkok, Hanoi, Thimphu, Phnom PenhNew Delhi
Malaysia Kuala LumpurBandar Seri Begawan, Singapore, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, Manila, JakartaKabul, Kuwait City, Kathmandu

The four answers are always neighbours’ capitals, so knowing the region is not enough. The ones that cost points are capitals that are not the largest city: Astana (not Almaty), Naypyidaw (not Yangon), Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte (not Colombo), Islamabad and New Delhi. None of those big cities is ever offered.

How it works

  1. Press Start: a country lights up on the map.
  2. Choose its capital from the four answers; two wrong answers show the right one.
  3. At the end, see your time and score, then practise the capitals you missed.

Frequently asked questions

Why multiple choice?
Four answers make it quick to learn the capitals; to practise finding the countries themselves, use the find-the-place quiz for the same map.
Which capital is used when a country has several?
The capital in law that schools teach: Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte for Sri Lanka, Naypyidaw for Myanmar, Kuala Lumpur for Malaysia, Astana for Kazakhstan.
Why are Russia and Türkiye not in the Asia capitals quiz?
They are asked in the Europe quiz, where the map of Europe shows them; on the map of Asia they are grey. Cyprus is asked in Europe too, while Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are asked here.
How many questions are there?
46: every country on the map with a capital. Hong Kong, Macao and Palestine are drawn but not asked. Kuwait (Kuwait City) and Singapore are asked, though the capital shares the name.
Do I need an account?
No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.
