Are the capitals included?

Yes, two ways. “Find it from its capital” names a capital (Cuiabá, Natal…) and you click its state: 25 questions, as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo share their capital’s name and are left out. “Choose the capital” highlights a state and offers four capitals, for all 27, Brasília in the Federal District included.

A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.

Which states look alike?

Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio Grande do Norte and Rio Grande do Sul, and Pará, Paraná and Paraíba. A wrong click shows the name of the state you clicked, so you see which one you took for which.

How is the score counted?

Right at the first click, out of 27. A state found after one or two misses counts as missed, and after the third miss the answer blinks on the map. Skipped states come back at the end with their misses kept.

Brazil quiz: 27 to find, 25 from their capital, and the look-alike states

A student revising Brazil for a geography test plays “Find the place”: the 26 states and the Federal District are asked once each, in a random order. A click on the right state turns it green; a wrong click flashes the state clicked in red with its name, and the third miss shows the answer and moves on.

The pairs that cost points: Mato Grosso (Cuiabá) and Mato Grosso do Sul (Campo Grande); Rio Grande do Norte (Natal) and do Sul (Porto Alegre); Pará (Belém), Paraná (Curitiba), Paraíba (João Pessoa).
The small states on the north-east coast, Sergipe, Alagoas and Paraíba, are easier after zooming in with the + button or two fingers.
In “Find it from its capital” Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo are greyed: their capitals have the state’s name, so the question would give the answer away.

Quiz	Questions	What appears above the map
Find the place	27	Find Bahia
Find it from its capital	25 (not Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo)	Find the one whose capital is Salvador
Choose the capital	27	What is the capital of Tocantins? (four capitals to pick from)

The score counts only the states found at the first click: find Mato Grosso at the second try and the end reads, say, “Done! 26/27 in 4:10”, with Mato Grosso under Missed. “Practise the ones I missed” then replays just that one.

How it works

Choose whether to find the states or find them from their capitals.
Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.
