Example

Nicaragua departments quiz: 17 places, and only 7 asked from their capitals

A volunteer heading to Nicaragua learns the map before the trip. The quiz has 17 places: the 15 departments and the North and South Caribbean Coast autonomous regions. Ten departments have a capital with the same name (León, Granada, Managua…), so the three quizzes ask different numbers.

  1. Asked by capital: Bilwi (North Caribbean Coast), Bluefields (South Caribbean Coast), Jinotepe (Carazo), Juigalpa (Chontales), Somoto (Madriz), Ocotal (Nueva Segovia) and San Carlos (Río San Juan).
  2. In “Choose the capital”, North Caribbean Coast offers Bilwi with a same-letter decoy, Bluefields or Boaco: the two Caribbean regions are the classic mix-up.
  3. Masaya and Carazo are the smallest on the map, between Managua and Granada: zoom in on a phone.
Quiz Questions Left out
Find the place (the default) 17Nothing
Find it from its capital 7Boaco, Chinandega, Estelí, Granada, Jinotega, León, Managua, Masaya, Matagalpa and Rivas: the capital is the name
Choose the capital 17Nothing: León is still a fair choice among four

At the end the bar reads, for example, “Done! 6/7 in 0:52” in the capitals quiz. Each place missed is listed, and “Practise the ones I missed” asks only those until the round ends “Perfect — no mistakes!”.

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 autonomous regions included?
Yes — the North and South Caribbean Coast regions are asked like the departments, with Bilwi and Bluefields as their capitals.
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.
Why does “Find it from its capital” ask only 7 places?
Ten departments share their name with their capital, from León to Rivas, and asking “Find the one whose capital is León” would give the answer away. Those ten are still asked in “Choose the capital”, which asks all 17.
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.
