World Capitals Sprint Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

This quiz sharpens rapid capital-city recall, country-to-capital matching, and spotting near-miss options that look familiar.

Even though the theme says “60-second sprint,” the quiz here uses 4 options per question and no timer, so you can focus on accuracy first and then build speed.

Difficulty and length controls

Choose your question count before you start for a quick run or a longer endurance session, and set difficulty to match your comfort level.

The overall challenge is balanced as Mixed: easier “must-know” capitals appear alongside tougher, less-visited ones to keep scores meaningful without feeling unfair.

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

Mixing up countries with similar names (Congo, Guinea, Sudan)
Confusing administrative vs. political capitals (e.g., the “official” seat vs. biggest city)
Falling for look-alike options (Vienna/Vilnius, Sydney/Canberra)
Overthinking easy questions after a tough streak
Rushing and skipping the country name details (region, spelling cues)

Tips for better scores

If you miss a question, note the distractor that fooled you and revisit that pair later—most mistakes come from a small set of repeat confusions. For a true sprint feel, keep difficulty on Mixed but lower the question count and aim for a clean run before increasing length.
