Which Continent? — place every country on the map
It sounds easy until you hit Armenia, Suriname, or Papua New Guinea. Which Continent? shows a country and its flag and asks you to tap the right continent from six options — Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, or Oceania. Every correct answer extends your streak; the first wrong tap ends it. Rounds are a couple of seconds each, there is no typing, and it works well on a phone.
How to play
A country name and flag appear. Tap the continent you think it belongs to. Right answers grow your streak and bring the next country; a wrong answer ends the run and shows your score. Use the continent filter if you want to drill borderline regions.
What this game improves
- Locks in the single most fundamental fact about every country
- Surfaces the tricky cases — transcontinental countries, isolated island nations, the Caribbean and Central America
- Fast, tap-only rounds make it ideal for phones and short breaks

Tips
- This site groups the Americas as North America (including Central America and the Caribbean) and South America
- Countries like Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan straddle two continents — learn how this quiz classifies them
- Oceania covers far more than Australia and New Zealand — all the Pacific island states count

- How many continents does the quiz use?
- Six: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania. The Americas are split into North (including Central America and the Caribbean) and South.
- How is a transcontinental country like Russia or Turkey handled?
- Each country is assigned a single continent based on standard UN regional groupings, so Russia is Europe and Turkey is Asia here. Play a few rounds to learn the edge cases.

- No — it is tap-only, six buttons, built for speed and for mobile.
