about the quiz
Countries of South America on a map
This quiz has 12 countries of South America. Named countries fill in on the map, missed ones stay empty; at the end you see exactly which ones slipped your memory. Time is limited, but enough to go through the continent calmly rather than guessing.
A short run: 12 countries, including Guyana and Suriname, which are often forgotten. Start with Brazil and Argentina, then move along the Andes.

Frequently asked
Are dependent territories included?
No. Only sovereign states count; Greenland, Puerto Rico, the Faroe Islands and similar territories are not separate countries in this quiz.
Can I play without a timer?
Yes, the quiz page has a practice mode: time counts up but does not limit the game. Classic mode has a timer, sprint gives you three minutes.
