Questions people ask

How does quiz mode work?

The flag appears without its name. Make your guess, then tap Reveal to see the country, and tap again for the next flag.

Why do so many flags look alike?

Many use simple stripes in common colors like red, white and blue. Chad and Romania, for example, have nearly identical blue, yellow and red stripes. Small details, like a crest or a different shade, are often the only way to tell them apart.

Which flag is not a rectangle?

Nepal's flag is made of two stacked triangles, the only national flag that is not rectangular.

What is the fastest way to learn world flags?

Study one continent at a time in short sessions, and say the country out loud before revealing. Noticing a single detail per flag helps it stick.
