What Kinds of Geography Quizzes Are on helloquiz.app?
Updated
helloquiz.app is a geography quiz site built around map-based and location-data quizzes. According to the site, it hosts 11.7k playable quizzes with 1.25 million total questions. The quiz catalog goes well beyond "name the country on the map": it covers subdivisions, phone codes, post codes, road numbers, writing systems, cities, national parks, and even Geoguessr metas. If you want to know whether your particular geography interest is covered, the categories below are the fastest way to check.
Map quizzes and country-level geography
The core of the site is map quizzes. The site describes itself as "designed for geography nerds" and lists hundreds of map quizzes, ranging from the countries of the world to more specialized regional sets. These are the quizzes to start with if you want standard country/region identification practice.
Subdivision quizzes: provinces, states, districts, regencies
This is one of the site's most developed categories. Featured examples on the homepage include:
- Indonesia — level 2 subdivisions (kabupaten / regencies)
- Germany — level 2 subdivisions (Landkreise / districts)
- Philippines — level 1 subdivisions (provinces)
- Mexico — level 1 subdivisions (states)
- Colombia — level 1 subdivisions (departments)
Subdivision quizzes are also grouped by continent (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, South America), and there is a dedicated section for subdivisions in local writing systems — useful if you want to practice names as they actually appear locally rather than in English transliteration.
Special-topic quizzes: codes, numbers and writing systems
Beyond maps, helloquiz has several data-driven quiz families:
| Category | What it tests | Featured examples |
|---|---|---|
| Phone codes | Country/regional dialing prefixes | Brazil (2 digits), Canada (3 digits), USA (3 digits, overlay codes separate), France, Mexico |
| Post codes | Postal code prefixes | Mexico (2 digits), Malaysia (2 digits), Brazil (2 digits), France (2 digits), Germany (2 digits) |
| Road numbers | Highway and road numbering | US highway shields, Poland, Finland, Romania, UK road numbers |
| Writing systems | Script and language recognition | Russian, Bengali, Korean, Thai, Hindi language quizzes |
Phone code and post code quizzes are also organized by continent, so you can work through a region systematically rather than one country at a time.
Cities, national parks and other categories
Additional categories listed on the site include:
- City quizzes — e.g., Spain's 50 most populated cities, the UK's 100 most populated cities, Argentina's 50 most populated cities (excluding suburbs), Russia's 100 most populated cities, Brazil's 100 cities.
- National parks and forests — e.g., US national forests, Canada national parks, Kenya national parks, UK national parks, Colombia's Parque Natural Nacional.
- Geoguessr metas — quizzes aimed at Geoguessr players, such as Russia gen4 cars, Russia short antenna, and Mexico 24 cars.
- Miscellaneous — a catch-all category for quizzes that don't fit elsewhere.
How to decide if it fits your interest
Use this quick check:
- You want classic country/region map practice → start with map quizzes.
- You care about administrative divisions (provinces, districts, regencies) → the subdivisions category is the strongest fit, including local-script versions.
- You're studying codes or infrastructure (phone prefixes, postal codes, road numbers) → the special-topic categories cover these by country and by continent.
- You play Geoguessr → the Geoguessr metas section targets car and antenna identification.
- You want to browse broadly → the homepage offers featured quizzes, category browsing, search, a random quiz option, and the ability to create your own quiz.
The site also states that a free account unlocks Anki-like learning features, quiz remixing, and statistics tracking — relevant if you plan to use the quizzes for spaced repetition rather than one-off play.
