North America is more than just three countries. Stretch the continent down through Central America and out across the Caribbean and you pick up a long list of capitals most people have never had a reason to learn, several with genuinely strange backstories.

This quiz covers fifteen of them, four city options each, working from the obvious capitals through to the ones that catch people out, including a capital that only exists because a hurricane levelled the old one, and the oldest European founded city anywhere in the Americas. Answer as many as you can and find out whether you land as a Local Tourist, a Frequent Flyer, a Globetrotter, or a true North America Capitals Master.

FAQs:

How many countries does this quiz cover?
Fifteen, spanning the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

Which capital surprises people the most?
Belmopan usually does. Belize’s capital only exists because Hurricane Hattie destroyed Belize City in 1961, and the government rebuilt inland instead.

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

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