How to play
The quiz covers the countries of Africa in random order. Tap the right country: green means first try, yellow means found on a retry, red means missed. Use + or pinch to zoom into crowded areas.
Tips
- West Africa is the densest cluster: learn the coast from Senegal to Nigeria in order.
- Lesotho and Eswatini sit inside or against South Africa.
- Zoom in for the Gambia, a thin strip inside Senegal along the Gambia River.
