About the Europe flag quiz

The Europe flag quiz covers the 45 sovereign states of Europe that have a capital, the same 45 flags as the printable Europe flag quiz. A round is 10 or 25 flags, or all 45 in one go, and Lookalikes is on from the start: the wrong options are European flags with the same layout and overlapping colour families, so every answer rests on the details rather than on a lucky guess.

By the layout and colour data computed from the flag files, 22 of the 45 flags use horizontal stripes, 10 use vertical stripes and 13 use another design. Red appears in 35 of them, white in 29 and blue in 23.

The same data puts the following flags together, which is why they keep turning up as each other’s wrong answers:

Switch on Territories to add eight more flags: Åland Islands, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, Kosovo and Svalbard and Jan Mayen.

Prefer paper? Print the Europe flag worksheet with its answer key, or take on the whole world in the flag quiz. The colour and layout method explains how flags are grouped.

Frequently asked questions

How many flags are in the Europe flag quiz?
45: one for each sovereign state in Europe that has a capital, the same set as the printable Europe worksheet. Switch on Territories and eight more join, for 53 in total.
Which European flags are easiest to mix up?
By the colour and layout data computed from the flag files, the largest group is horizontal stripes in red, blue and white: Croatia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia. Next come Austria, Latvia, Monaco and Poland, all horizontal stripes in red and white. In this quiz they are offered as each other's wrong answers.
Can I play the Europe flag quiz without lookalikes?
Yes. Switch off Lookalikes in the settings and the wrong options are drawn at random from Europe instead. The setting is kept in the address, so a shared link plays the same way.
Are territories in the Europe flag quiz?
Not by default. Switch on Territories and the other eight European flags in the catalogue join: Åland Islands, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, Kosovo and Svalbard and Jan Mayen.
