GeoMemory is a free typing quiz on the countries and capitals of the world. Pick the whole world or one continent, type every name you can remember, and watch the blank map fill in as you go.
Choose a challenge, start typing, and every correct answer lands on the map as you write it. There is nothing to click and nothing to choose between. A timer runs, a percentage builds, and the run ends when you have them all or when you decide to stop.
GeoMemory counts 197 countries: the 193 UN member states plus Vatican City, Palestine, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Other dependencies and overseas territories are excluded, so Greenland, Puerto Rico and New Caledonia are never answers. Microstates are included in full, which means San Marino, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Andorra, Nauru, Tuvalu and Palau each count for one. Every country sits in exactly one continent, and that is what gives the totals of 54 for Africa, 49 for Asia, 45 for Europe, 23 for North America, 12 for South America and 14 for Oceania. The capitals challenges run on the same list, one capital per country.
GeoMemory is free recall, not recognition. There is no list of options, no map to click and no first letter given away: you type a name and it either belongs to the set or it does not. Spelling is forgiving (one wrong character is accepted, accents and punctuation are ignored), a timer runs while you play, and the run ends with a completion percentage you can share. A multiple choice quiz asks whether you recognise the right answer among four. A map click quiz asks whether you can point at it. This one asks whether you can produce it.
South America is the shortest set and the fastest first complete run. Europe and Africa are the two big ones. The world challenges are the ultimate version, and most people find the capitals harder than the countries.
197 countries and 197 capitals, one capital per country. Each continent challenge is a slice of that same list.
Yes, up to a point. One missing, extra, swapped or transposed character is accepted, and accents, punctuation, capitals and spaces are ignored. Two mistakes in the same word are not accepted.
It is free and there is no account, no sign up and no install. Your best time for each challenge is kept in your own browser.
