Tips for a flag quiz that works

Start easy. A round everyone gets right warms up the room. Save the lion and the dragon for when people are paying attention.
Play in teams for younger kids. Two or three players per device means the child who knows flags explains them to the others.
Leave time after each answer. The explanation is the moment someone says "I always thought that was Indonesia" about Monaco's flag, and the class remembers it.
Add your own flags. Open any quiz in the library and choose Edit a copy, then add the flags of your students' home countries or of the World Cup teams.

Is this flag quiz free?

Yes. The flags quizzes are free to play in the browser and free to host live. Players never need an account, only the PIN.

Is it suitable for kids?

The easy round suits primary school. The hard round and the flag facts suit older kids and adults. You can start with the easy six and stop there.

How many people can play?

Up to 50 players per game on the free plan, and up to 150 on Pro.
