Norway counties quiz: the 15 counties of 2024 and their seats

A nurse moving to Bergen learns the new county map. “Find the place” asks all 15. “Find it from its capital” asks 12: Oslo and Akershus have no seat in the quiz, and Tromsø would give Troms away. “Choose the capital” asks 13, Troms included.

  1. Trøndelag’s seat is Steinkjer, not Trondheim; Finnmark’s is Vadsø. In “Choose the capital” Trøndelag can get Stavanger, Sarpsborg or Skien as the same-letter decoy.
  2. The south-east is crowded: Oslo, Vestfold and Østfold are the smallest counties on the map, so zoom in before clicking.
  3. The north is easy to mix up from the long coast: Nordland, then Troms, then Finnmark at the top.

A round with every county right at the first try ends “Perfect — no mistakes!” with 15/15 and the time; otherwise the counties missed are listed and “Practise the ones I missed” asks only those.

How it works

  1. Choose a quiz: find the counties 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 counties up to date?
Yes: the fifteen of 2024, after Viken, Vestfold og Telemark and Troms og Finnmark were split up again. Akershus is run from Oslo, so the capitals quizzes leave it out.
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 is Trondheim not the answer for Trøndelag?
The quiz uses each county’s administrative seat, and for Trøndelag that is Steinkjer. Likewise Vadsø for Finnmark and Hamar for Innlandet.
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.
