What GeoQuest Maps is
GeoQuest Maps is a free geography game and country explorer that runs in a web browser. Its short rounds teach country locations, capitals, flags and other map facts with immediate feedback, and its coverage spans all 195 countries. Players can choose a continent and difficulty, or use Smart Practice to focus on countries they are weakest on. Modes include country finding, flag and capital challenges, capital placement, neighbours, distance, country outlines, Flag Blitz, No Mistakes, and States & Provinces. The country explorer offers another way to explore the covered countries. Guest progress—including XP, scores, streaks, achievements, daily results and country mastery—is 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 a date; the first completed run on a device is the official score for that date. Players can also create a seeded challenge using their current difficulty and region, then share its link with a friend. The site describes ranked scores as server-validated, and signed-in standard rounds affect World Rating.
