- Play the same topic a few times: the quiz asks questions a child hasn't seen yet first.
Questions from grown-ups
Is this good practice for geography quizzes?
Yes. Rivers, mountains, volcanoes and deserts come up in almost every school geography quiz, and the Geography Facts pages list everything the quiz asks.
How many questions are there?
Around 400, plus comparison questions that change every round. Easy asks about the most famous places; Hard adds ones for quiz champions.
Can kids play against each other?
Yes. Turn on 2 Players to take turns on one device, or Beat the Clock for a timed challenge.
What is the longest river in the world?
The Nile and the Amazon are both about 6,400 to 6,650 km long, and experts still disagree about which is longer, so the quiz never asks it. It asks about each continent's longest river instead.
Are the place names translated?
Place names are shown in English in every language, the way they appear on most world maps.
Is it free? Does my child need an account?
Yes, it's free, with no sign-up, login, or download, and it never asks for personal details. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets, and computers.
