In our Sporcle flags of the world guide, we’ve hunted down the best of the bunch when it comes to those fabulous flags. There’s a real breadth of different quizzes here to test your knowledge and hopefully help you learn some things along the way – and we’ve even offered a resource to help you revise.
If you just can’t get enough of that quizzical stuff, we have more great guides covering different Sporcle quizzes, including our guides to Sporcle geography, Sporcle trivia, Sporcle US states, and the Sporcle countries of the world guide.
Here’s everything in our Sporcle Flags of the World guide:
Before we start, if you’re struggling with the answers to any of the flag-related quizzes in this guide, you can scan your eyes over Worldometer’s visual guide to the flags of the world (whether you browse before or have it open next to you while playing, it’s up to you – we don’t judge!).
Sporcle Flags of the world
The original, the classic. There are 197 countries in the world, and coincidentally, there are 197 flags. In flags of the world, can you match the flags to the countries, and with only eighteen minutes to do so? This is a big task, as memorizing countries is one thing, but matching the flags to them is a whole different ball park. This quiz does give you a country you have to match the flag to, but we’re still talking about some absolutely brutal quizzing here.
30 pics in 60: flags of the world
Let’s bring things down a touch. Instead of guessing every single flag in the world, 30 pics in 60: flags of the world gives you 30 flags and presents you with one of the countries, so all you have to do is click on the corresponding flag. Sounds easy right? Well, it’s definitely easier than some, but I don’t think I’ll be doing this in my sleep any time soon.
Once again, you can check out the flags of the world page we shared above if you need a little help.
Flags of food
A tasty little diversion from the regular quizzes, this is a fairly easy quiz that posits twelve flags and gives you three minutes to find the countries. What flags of food does differently here is that each of the flags is made from food that’s local to the country. If you’ve ever wanted to see a French flag made out of cheese and grapes, well, this is definitely the place for that. Not only is this a nice easy quiz to relax with, but it’s also made me very, very, hungry.
Flag Fragments
Another fun twist on classic flag action, flag fragments tasks you with finding the 20 different matching countries in five minutes using only a fragment of the flag. If you’ve truly exhausted the flag quiz well and need to spice things up a bit, this is a nice deviation and a real test of your skills.
Flags of the world: progressively harder
Flags of the world: progressively harder is very similar to the main flags of the world quiz – but, as the name suggests, it gets progressively harder as you play. It starts out easy, but as you get further through the challenge, it begins to throw trickier, lesser-known flags at you. It’s a good way to build up your skills and attempt the main event without destroying your confidence!
Flags of the world: A to Z
That’s right, it’s very nearly the same quiz but with another little change. In flags of the world: A to Z, you have five minutes to name a country for each letter of the alphabet from A all the way to Z. From Albania to Zambia, can you think of the country to match each and every letter? You do get a sneaky little peak of each flag behind the letter, so it’s not as easy as just naming a country that begins with A, but this is still a nice way to test your brain without completely pulling your hair out.
We hope this healthy dose of quizness has brightened up your day a little, and do keep an eye on all of our Sporcle quiz guides for even more fun things to do in your downtime.
