Guatemala departments quiz: 22 to find, 8 asked by capital, and why

A volunteer heading to Guatemala learns the departments. “Find the place” asks all 22 in random order, from Petén, the largest, to Sacatepéquez around Antigua, the smallest on the map; none needs a circle. The capitals quizzes ask different numbers, as most capitals carry their department’s name.

  1. Find-from-capital leaves out 14: twelve capitals share their department’s name (Huehuetenango, Quetzaltenango, Zacapa…), Guatemala City contains Guatemala and Santa Cruz del Quiché contains Quiché.
  2. Of the eight, the ones that catch people out: Flores for Petén, Guastatoya for El Progreso, Cuilapa for Santa Rosa, Mazatenango for Suchitepéquez, and Salamá and Cobán for the two Verapaces.
  3. “Choose the capital” for Alta Verapaz might offer Cobán with Salamá, Guatemala City and Chimaltenango: nearby capitals and one with the same first letter.

“Done! 19/22 in 2:45”, say, counts first tries only; the missed departments are listed — as department · capital in “Choose the capital” — and “Practise the ones I missed” asks only those. Map of Guatemala with Departments and Capitals prints them for study.

How it works

  1. Choose a quiz: find the departments by name, find each from its capital, or choose the capital among four.
  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

Are the capitals in it?
Yes — find a department from its capital, such as Cobán for Alta Verapaz or Flores for Petén, or pick each capital from four. Departments whose capital shares their name are left out of the find-from-capital quiz.
How does it work?
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.
How many departments does each quiz ask?
“Find the place” and “Choose the capital” ask all 22. “Find it from its capital” asks 8 — Alta Verapaz, Baja Verapaz, Izabal, Petén, El Progreso, Sacatepéquez, Santa Rosa and Suchitepéquez —, as the other capitals would give the name away.
Do I need an account?
No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to install or sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.
