About Oceans & Seas Quiz
Oceans and seas are the part of the map most quizzes skip entirely, which is odd given that water covers most of the planet. This game covers the five oceans and twenty-five of the major seas.
Each question describes a body of water and asks you to name it. That framing rewards understanding over rote recall — knowing that a sea is almost enclosed, or that it connects two others through a narrow strait, is more useful than memorising a list.
A few are worth knowing before you start: the Caspian is the largest inland body of water on Earth and has no outlet to the ocean, and the Southern Ocean was only formally recognised as distinct in 2000.
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.
