How it works

In the Capitals of Europe quiz, you'll see five European country names in the left column and five capitals in the right column. Your task is to match each country name with its corresponding capital.

For example, if you see 🇪🇸 Spain, tap on it from the list of countries column and the Madrid from the list of capitals column. When you make a match, the pair will be highlighted and replaced with new items.

The game starts as soon as you tap on the quiz card. There's a timer running, so try to match all countries with their capitals as quickly as possible.

1. Correct matches: Matches are highlighted in green.
2. Incorrect matches: Incorrect pairs are highlighted in red.
3. Hints available: Use the "Show Hint" button to reveal the correct country and capital pair (will be highlighted in purple). Once used, there will be a short cooldown period, so that you can't abuse the feature.
4. Pause the game: Need a break? You can pause the game, and the timer will pause too.

When you match all European countries with their capitals, the game will end, and you'll see your final score. You can then share your results with friends and challenge them to beat your score!
