World Capitals Quiz: 15 Capital Cities
Global Knowledge · 15 questions · Medium
This world capitals quiz from Trivia Quiz World focuses on the capitals that trip people up: purpose-built cities, moved capitals and countries whose biggest city is not the seat of government.
Capital cities are the classic trivia trap, because so many countries have a famous city that is not the capital. Ask about Australia, Turkey, Brazil, Canada or Switzerland and most people answer with the biggest city instead.
This quiz targets exactly those cases. Questions are spread across five continents rather than clustering in Europe, and the explanations include the reason a capital was chosen, which is often the most memorable part.
Twelve questions, four options each, one page at a time.
Before you start
- Biggest city is not always the capital; that catches most players out.
- Purpose-built capitals were often chosen to settle a rivalry between two cities.
- Read the explanations for the reasoning behind each choice.
- One question per page. Choose an answer and you will see whether you were right, plus why.
- Restarting is only available after you reach the final results page, so your level reflects a complete run.
