What GeoQuest Maps is
GeoQuest Maps is a free browser geography game and country explorer covering all 195 countries. Short rounds provide immediate feedback while players practise locations, capitals, flags, and related map knowledge. Modes include country finding, flag and capital quizzes, capital placement, neighbours, distance, country outlines, Flag Blitz, No Mistakes, and States & Provinces. Players can select a continent and difficulty, while Smart Practice focuses on weaker countries. Guest XP, scores, streaks, achievements, daily results, and country mastery are saved in browser storage. An optional account syncs progress across devices and enables leaderboard participation. Daily World Sprint gives everyone the same five seeded country-finding questions for that date; the first completed run on a device is its official score. Players can create a seeded challenge and share its link. Country boundaries use simplified Natural Earth data, and subdivision maps load from geoBoundaries when needed.
