Africa Locate Quiz

Locate is a map quiz that names a country and asks you to click it. This round covers Africa only: 54 sovereign countries. It is free, needs no account, and runs in the browser on phone or desktop.

How do you play the Africa locate quiz?

A country is named. Click it on the map. Three tries, with distance hints after each miss. Drag to pan the map, scroll or pinch to zoom, and use the plus and minus buttons if you prefer. Very small countries such as Monaco, Singapore and Malta get an enlarged tap target, so they are as playable on a phone as Brazil is.

How many countries are there in Africa?

There are 54 sovereign countries in Africa as of 2026. This quiz asks only about sovereign states. Territories and dependencies such as Greenland, Puerto Rico and New Caledonia are drawn on the map but never asked about, because they are not countries.
