How to Play
- Pick a game type: Mixed for everything, or one topic on its own — World capitals, Indian states & capitals or India GK.
- Choose a difficulty. Easy sticks to well-known questions, Medium blends easy and tricky ones, and Hard brings out the obscure capitals and deeper GK.
- Read the question and tap one of the four answers before the 15-second timer runs out. There is no typing, so it works well on a phone.
- The right answer lights up straight away, along with a short fact so you learn something even when you miss.
- After ten questions you see your total score, your best streak and how many you got right.
Rules
A correct answer is worth 100 points plus a speed bonus of up to 50 more, so a fast right answer can earn close to 150. A wrong answer or running out of time scores nothing, but it never takes points away.
Every question has exactly one correct answer. Where a country or state has more than one capital, the question says which one it means, such as the "administrative capital" of South Africa or the "summer capital" of Jammu and Kashmir, so there is no room for argument.
Your streak counter climbs with each correct answer in a row and resets on a miss. Your best score is saved on your device, not on a server.
Tips & Strategy
- Rule out before you pick. Wrong answers usually come from the same region, so knowing that Kigali is in Rwanda helps you on a Kenya question too.
- Watch for planned capitals. Many countries built new capitals away from their biggest city: Canberra, Brasília, Abuja, Islamabad and Astana are classic traps for anyone who guesses the famous city.
- Group the north-east together. Learn the seven sister states and Sikkim as one set — Itanagar, Dispur, Imphal, Shillong, Aizawl, Kohima, Agartala and Gangtok — and a whole block of questions becomes easy.
- Read the facts. The line shown after each answer often holds the clue to a later question, such as which river a city stands on.
- Use the speed bonus wisely. Speed only adds up to 50 points, but a wrong answer loses all 150, so take a second when you are unsure.
