Flag Reveal — identify the flag as it comes into focus

Flag Reveal is a speed challenge disguised as a flag quiz. The image starts almost unrecognizable and gradually sharpens, but the clock never stops. You can guess as many times as you like — what matters is how quickly you lock in the right answer. Choose from four difficulty presets that control how fast the blur clears and how long you have. Practice mode lets you pause the timer and study the reveal frame by frame, and there is no limit on how many flags you play.

How to play

Pick a difficulty level, then wait for a blurred flag to load. Type country names and submit — there is no guess limit. The image sharpens continuously while the timer counts down. Your score rewards faster correct answers. Use the continent filter to restrict puzzles to Africa, Europe, Asia, and other regions. Open the stats dialog to track your personal bests across difficulties.

Frequently asked questions

How does Flag Reveal work?
A national flag loads under heavy blur that clears a little more every second. You type country guesses with no limit on attempts, and your score depends on how fast you get it right before the reveal finishes.
Is Flag Reveal free to play unlimited times?
Yes. There is no account, no paywall, and no daily cap — every round loads a new random flag and you can keep going as long as you want.
What are the difficulty levels?
Four presets change how slowly the blur clears and how much time you have. Easier modes sharpen quickly; Expert stays blurry for longer and then clears fast near the end.
How is my score calculated?
The server measures how many seconds passed before your correct guess and bands it (under 3s, 3–5s, 5–8s, 8–12s, 12s+), then multiplies by a difficulty bonus. Your own timer only drives the blur animation.
Does it track my personal best?
Yes, in your browser. Personal best, current streak, best streak, and a top-10 fastest-solves list are all stored locally on your device — there is no global leaderboard.
