Poland voivodeships quiz: 16 to find, 13 capitals, and the two with two capitals

Revising Poland for a geography test. “Find the place” asks all 16 voivodeships once each, in random order, by their English names (Lesser Poland, Masovian, Subcarpathian). “Find it from its capital” asks 13: Łódź, Lublin and Opole share their capital’s name, so they are greyed and left out. “Choose the capital” asks all 16, with Łódź as Łódź’s answer.

  1. In “Find it from its capital” the bar reads “Find the one whose capital is Rzeszów”: click Subcarpathian, in the south-east corner.
  2. Two voivodeships are asked with both their capitals: “Bydgoszcz / Toruń” is Kuyavian-Pomeranian, “Gorzów Wielkopolski / Zielona Góra” is Lubusz.
  3. In “Choose the capital”, Silesian’s four answers are Katowice, two of the six nearest capitals and one starting with K, so Kraków or Kielce is always among them.
  4. The end shows, say, “Done! 14/16 in 1:52”, the voivodeships missed, and “Practise the ones I missed” for a round of only those.
Voivodeship (as the quiz names it) Capital In “Find it from its capital”
Lower Silesian WrocławYes

The names that get mixed up: Pomeranian (Gdańsk), West Pomeranian (Szczecin) and Kuyavian-Pomeranian; Lesser Poland (Kraków) in the south against Greater Poland (Poznań) in the west; Silesian (Katowice) against Lower Silesian (Wrocław), with Opole, the smallest on the map, between them.

How it works

  1. Choose a quiz: find the voivodeships 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

What about voivodeships with two capitals?
Kuyavian-Pomeranian (Bydgoszcz and Toruń) and Lubusz (Gorzów Wielkopolski and Zielona Góra) are named with both.
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 are Łódź, Lublin and Opole missing from the capitals quiz?
Their capital has the voivodeship’s name, so “Find the one whose capital is Lublin” would give the answer away. “Find it from its capital” asks the other 13 and greys those three; “Choose the capital” asks all 16, Łódź, Lublin and Opole included.
Are the names in English or Polish?
English where English has a name: Lesser Poland, Greater Poland, Masovian, Silesian, Subcarpathian. Podlaskie and Świętokrzyskie keep their Polish form, and the capitals keep Polish spelling (Kraków, Gdańsk, Poznań) except Warsaw.
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.
