About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Olympic host cities are famous, but placing them accurately is a different skill. This quiz builds quick, reliable geography recall across continents, countries, and major regions tied to the Games.

Each question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can reason it out instead of rushing. Pick the question count you want and select a difficulty level to keep the challenge comfortable or crank it up.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many misses come from mixing up similarly named places or assuming a city is in the same country as a nearby landmark. Another frequent trap is over-relying on language cues (e.g., “sounds European”) instead of concrete location knowledge.

Confusing country vs. city (especially capital cities and major metros)
Mixing up host cities in the same region (e.g., Western Europe clusters)
Forgetting which continent a smaller host city belongs to
Overthinking when one option is clearly the only plausible country/region
Missing spelling lookalikes and near-matches among the 4 options

How the difficulty stays balanced

Difficulty is mixed by design: you’ll see straightforward, well-known hosts alongside trickier picks that test finer geographic awareness. The spread helps you build momentum early while still getting meaningful stretch questions later.

If you want a smoother run, choose an easier difficulty and a shorter question set; for deeper mastery, increase difficulty and play the full 66. Replaying is useful too—patterns (regions, coastlines, neighboring countries) start to stick quickly.
