Asia holds more countries, and more capitals, than any other continent, and a fair number of them aren’t what you’d expect. Mumbai isn’t India’s capital. Tokyo has never technically been declared Japan’s capital by law. Indonesia is in the middle of building an entirely new one from scratch.

This quiz puts fifteen of those capitals in front of you, four city options each, mixing the famous ones with a few that genuinely catch people out. Work through them all and find out whether you land as a Local Tourist, a Frequent Flyer, a Globetrotter, or a true Asian Capitals Master.

FAQs:

How many questions are in the Asian capitals quiz?

Indonesia usually does it. Jakarta is still the official capital, but the country is actively building a brand new one, Nusantara, on the island of Borneo.

Can I play it again?
Yes, selecting “Fly again” at the end reshuffles both the questions and the answer order.

Is the quiz free to play?
Yes, no sign up or download required.
