Example

Canada provinces quiz: 13 places, and why Ontario’s answer is Toronto

The quiz asks Canada’s 10 provinces and 3 territories: 13 questions in random order. “Find it from its capital” asks 12, as Quebec is left out (“Quebec City” gives the name away). “Choose the capital” asks all 13, each with four capitals to choose from.

  1. Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia are small on the whole map: zoom in, or click the circle a place gets when it is too small to hit.
  2. A wrong click flashes the place you hit, with its name; the third miss shows the answer, counted as missed.
  3. The end shows the score out of 13 (first tries only), the time and the places you missed.
Province or territory Capital the quiz asks
Yukon Whitehorse
British Columbia Victoria
Northwest Territories Yellowknife
Alberta Edmonton
Nunavut Iqaluit
Saskatchewan Regina
Manitoba Winnipeg
Ontario Toronto
Quebec Quebec City
Newfoundland and Labrador St. John's
New Brunswick Fredericton
Prince Edward Island Charlottetown
Nova Scotia Halifax

Ottawa is Canada’s capital but not Ontario’s: the quiz expects Toronto for Ontario. The other slips to watch are Victoria, not Vancouver, for British Columbia; Regina, not Saskatoon, for Saskatchewan; and Iqaluit for Nunavut.

How it works

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

Frequently asked questions

Can I quiz the capitals?
Yes — choose “Choose the capital” to see each place highlighted and pick its capital, or “Find it from its capital” to be given the capital and find the place.
How does it work?
A name appears above the map (a capital, in “Find it from its capital”): 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.
Is Ottawa an answer in the capitals quiz?
No. The quiz asks each province’s and territory’s own capital, so Ontario’s answer is Toronto; Ottawa is the capital of Canada as a whole.
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.
