Pick an answer
Press a choice and it is marked at once. The note under it lists every land neighbor of the country, in alphabetical order. A round is ten questions.
One continent at a time
The Start from menu under the question holds the sets: Europe, Asia and Oceania, Africa, The Americas, and Counts and records, which asks which countries have the most neighbors, one neighbor or none. A set of 40 questions or fewer plays as one round.
On paper
After a round, print a 10-question sheet with its answer key, or the whole set. As a countries borders quiz for a class, See all with answers opens every question and answer.
- Land borders only: a bridge, a tunnel or a sea border does not make two countries neighbors here.
- A country whose list of neighbors is disputed is never the country to name, but it can appear as a neighbor.
