Turkey quiz: 81 provinces, and the names that look alike

A student going to Ankara for an Erasmus semester learns the provinces before she leaves. “Find the place” asks all 81 once each, in a new random order every round, from Edirne in the far north-west to Hakkari in the far south-east. No province gets a circle: even the smallest, Yalova and Bartın, can be clicked, though zooming in helps around Istanbul.

  1. “Find it from its capital” and “Choose the capital” note that the capitals share the provinces’ names and run “Find the place” instead: 78 of the 81 capitals carry their province’s name.
  2. The three exceptions are worth knowing anyway: Hatay’s capital is Antakya, Kocaeli’s is Izmit and Sakarya’s is Adapazarı.
  3. A right click turns the province green with its name; a wrong one flashes the province you clicked in red with its name. The third miss shows the answer blinking in orange and counts it as missed.
  4. Skip sends a province to the end of the round. Istanbul is one place, on both sides of the Bosphorus.
Names that look alike Where to click
Kırklareli · Kırşehir · Kırıkkale Kırklareli in Thrace, north-west of Istanbul; Kırıkkale just east of Ankara, Kırşehir south-east of it
Karabük · Karaman · Kahramanmaraş Karabük north of Ankara, towards the Black Sea; Karaman south of Konya; Kahramanmaraş in the south-east
Erzincan · Erzurum Neighbours in the east: Erzincan is the western one
Adana · Adıyaman Adana on the Mediterranean coast; Adıyaman further east, inland
Kocaeli · Sakarya · Düzce · Yalova Kocaeli, Sakarya and Düzce in a row east of Istanbul; Yalova, the smallest, just south of Kocaeli across the gulf

A first round might end with “Done! 58/81 in 9:40”: only first-click answers count, the 23 missed are listed by name, and “Practise the ones I missed” replays just those until none are left.

How it works

  1. Choose whether to find the provinces 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

That is a lot of provinces — any tips?
Zoom in by region, and use “Practise the ones I missed” until none are left.
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.
Can I quiz the provincial capitals?
Not on this map: 78 of the 81 capitals share their province’s name, so the capital quizzes find the provinces instead. Only Hatay (Antakya), Kocaeli (Izmit) and Sakarya (Adapazarı) have a capital with another name.
Which provinces are the smallest?
Yalova, Bartın, Kilis, Düzce and Osmaniye are the smallest on the map. None needs a circle, but zoom in with the + button, Ctrl + scroll or two fingers if your clicks land on a neighbour.
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.
