Find the Flag

The flag quiz in reverse: you get the country and choose its flag from four. Recognising a flag is easy; producing it from memory is not.

About Find the Flag

Recognition and recall are different skills, and flags flatter the first. Shown Ghana's flag you may well name it; asked to picture Ghana's flag from the name alone, most people find they cannot. This game tests the harder direction.

Because the wrong flags come from the same continent, the design families do most of the work against you. Four West African flags in red, gold and green look far more alike than any two flags picked at random.

Flags are drawn with your device's own emoji font, so the exact style depends on your operating system. Colours and layout are identical everywhere.

Difficulty and scoring

Easy, Medium and Hard run thirty questions. Easy covers the countries most people can already name; Hard reaches the ones that need real study. A correct answer is worth 100 points, with a bonus for answering inside five seconds and further bonuses at three, five and ten in a row. A wrong answer scores nothing and resets the streak, but never ends the round.

Expert is different. It has no fixed length and no second chances: questions keep coming from the hardest pool until you get one wrong, and that ends the run immediately. Your result is how many you survived. The full scoring breakdown is on the about page.
