helloquiz.app

helloquiz.app is a geography quiz website built around map-based and geography-adjacent quizzes. Its own homepage describes it as “a quiz website designed for geography nerds,” with hundreds of map quizzes and other geography-related quizzes. You can use it without an account to browse, search, play a random quiz, or create your own; a free account adds Anki-like learning features, quiz remixing, and statistics tracking.

What kinds of quizzes are on the site

The homepage reports 11.7k playable quizzes, 1.25m total questions, and 25.53m questions answered. Quizzes are organized by category, and each category page surfaces featured quizzes. The categories listed on the homepage include:

Subdivision categories are also broken out by continent (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, South America), and there is a “Subdivisions in local writing systems” entry. Phone code categories are likewise split by continent.

What you can do on the site

• Search for a quiz — the homepage offers a search entry alongside featured quizzes.
• Play a random quiz — a one-click option on the homepage.
• Create your own quiz — also offered from the homepage.
• Browse by category — each category has featured quizzes plus a “more” link to the full set.
• Learn with Anki-like features — the site says a free account gives access to Anki-like features “if you are eager to learn.” The homepage also reports 759.1k Anki cards in decks.
• Remix quizzes — listed as a free-account feature.
• Track your statistics — also listed as a free-account feature.

Settings you can adjust

The site has an appearance settings section with these options: colour scheme, map quizzes, zoom delay, audio, and map style. These affect how quizzes look and behave, including map styling and zoom timing.

Who it suits

helloquiz.app fits people who already enjoy geography and want to drill specific, sometimes very granular knowledge — second-level subdivisions, two- and three-digit phone code prefixes, post code ranges, road number shields, or Geoguessr car metas — rather than a general trivia format. The breadth of categories (from national parks to writing systems) means you can stay within one niche or move across topics.

If you only want to try a few quizzes, no account is needed. If you want spaced-repetition-style learning, remixing, or progress statistics, the site points to a free account for those features.

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:

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.

A free helloquiz.app account unlocks three things beyond playing quizzes: Anki-like learning features, quiz remixing, and personal statistics tracking. The site describes these as available "with a free account," so they are the account-level extras rather than paid tiers. No pricing details are confirmed on the page, so treat "free" as the site's own description of the account, not a verified price list.

What the free account adds

Anki-like learning features

The site reports 759.1k Anki cards in decks, which suggests the learning mode is built around spaced-repetition style card decks tied to quiz content. If you already study geography with flashcards, this is the feature to check first: it turns quiz material into reviewable cards instead of one-off rounds.

Remixing quizzes

You can remix existing quizzes rather than only playing them as published. This is useful when a quiz covers more ground than you need — for example, a subdivisions quiz for a whole country when you only want one region, or a phone-code quiz with overlay codes separated when you want them combined.

Statistics tracking

The account keeps track of your quiz statistics, so progress is recorded across sessions rather than reset each visit. That matters if you are working through a large category like European subdivisions over weeks.

What you can do without an account

The page presents the quiz library as the core of the site, with 11.7k playable quizzes and 1.25m total questions. Browsing by category, searching for a quiz, playing a random quiz, and creating your own quiz are all described as part of the site experience. The account-specific benefits are the three listed above.

Quiz categories worth knowing

The library is broader than country maps. Featured categories on the page include:

There are also continent-level subdivision categories (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, South America) and a "subdivisions in local writing systems" set.

How to decide

• Create a free account if you want spaced-repetition review, customized quiz variants, or a record of your scores over time.
• Skip the account if you only want to play published quizzes casually — the quiz library itself is the main draw.
• Check the learning features first if you are preparing for something specific, such as a geography bee or Geoguessr meta knowledge, since card decks map directly onto study goals.

The site also lists appearance settings — colour scheme, zoom delay, audio, and map style — as configurable options, which is relevant if you plan long study sessions and want the map to behave the way you expect.

helloquiz.app exposes four appearance and map-related settings: colour scheme, map style, zoom delay, and audio. They sit together in an "appearance settings" area of the site, and you can adjust each one independently to change how quizzes look and feel. The site's own description doesn't spell out every option value, so the practical approach is to open the settings and try each control — the changes apply to the quiz interface rather than to quiz content.

Colour scheme

This controls the site's overall colour palette. It is the setting to change first if you find the default theme hard to read or simply want a different look. Because helloquiz is built around map quizzes, the colour scheme interacts with how maps and answer options are displayed, so it's worth checking a map quiz after switching rather than judging from the settings screen alone.

Map style

Map style changes the base map used in map quizzes — the visual treatment of the map itself rather than the quiz questions. This matters most for quizzes where you identify subdivisions, cities, road numbers, or phone/post code regions, since a style that emphasises borders and labels differently can make certain features easier or harder to pick out. If one style makes a quiz feel cluttered, switch styles before assuming the quiz is too hard.

Zoom delay

Zoom delay governs how the map responds when you zoom. A shorter delay makes zooming feel more immediate; a longer one can reduce accidental zooming while you're moving the pointer. There's no single correct value — it depends on whether you tend to zoom in quickly to inspect small regions (for example, level-2 subdivisions like German Landkreise or Indonesian kabupaten) or prefer a steadier map.

Audio

The audio setting turns quiz sound on or off. If you quiz in a shared or quiet space, switch it off; if you use sound as feedback while answering, keep it on. This is the least consequential of the four settings and can be toggled at any time without affecting your progress.

How to use these settings

1. Open the appearance settings area on helloquiz.
2. Change one setting at a time — start with colour scheme or map style, since those have the biggest visual impact.
3. Return to a quiz you know well and check that maps, labels, and answer choices are still easy to read.
4. Adjust zoom delay only if zooming feels too jumpy or too sluggish during play.
5. Set audio according to your environment.

A sensible check: pick a quiz with dense geography, such as a subdivisions or phone codes quiz, and confirm your chosen combination still lets you distinguish neighbouring regions. If not, revert the map style first — it usually has more effect on legibility than the colour scheme.

These settings change presentation only. They don't alter quiz content, scoring, or the account features described elsewhere on the site, so you can experiment freely and change them again whenever a particular quiz type calls for it.

You can start creating a quiz on helloquiz.app from the homepage, where a create your own option sits alongside searching for a quiz and playing a random quiz. The site is built for geography quizzes — its library spans country maps, regional subdivisions, phone codes, post codes, road numbers, writing systems, and city quizzes — so your own quiz will fit most naturally if it is built around a map or a geography-related topic. A free account is the other piece worth knowing about: according to the site, a free account unlocks Anki-like learning features, quiz remixing, and statistics tracking.

Before You Start

• Pick a topic with a clear answer set. The featured quizzes show the pattern: a defined region plus a defined category, such as "Germany subdivisions (lvl2): Landkreise / districts" or "Brazil phone codes (2 digits)." Deciding both up front keeps the quiz consistent.
• Decide between building from scratch and remixing. The homepage explicitly offers remixing quizzes as an option, which is the faster route if an existing quiz is close to what you want.
• Have an account if you want to keep and track your work. The site describes Anki-like features, remixing, and statistics as free-account capabilities, so signing in before you invest time in a quiz is the safer order.

Step-by-Step: Creating a Quiz

1. Go to the helloquiz.app homepage. The welcome text lists the main actions: check out featured quizzes, search for a quiz, play a random quiz, or create your own.
2. Choose "create your own." This is the entry point for authoring a new quiz rather than playing one.
3. Define the quiz around a map or geography subject. Use the site's existing categories as a model — subdivisions, phone codes, post codes, road numbers, writing systems, cities, national parks, or Geoguessr-style metas. Matching an established category means your quiz sits alongside content players already browse.
4. Add your questions and answers. The site reports over 1.25 million total questions across its quizzes, so the format is question-by-question rather than a single block of text.
5. Save and test it. Play through your own quiz the way a visitor would, checking that each prompt has one unambiguous answer.
6. Track it from your account. With a free account, statistics tracking lets you see how your quiz performs and how players answer.

Alternative: Start by Remixing

If you find an existing quiz that is almost right — say, a subdivisions quiz for one country when you want a neighbouring one — remixing lets you use it as a starting point instead of rebuilding the structure. This is usually the fastest path when your topic already exists in a similar form somewhere in the library of 11.7k playable quizzes.

What to Check After Publishing

• Answer uniqueness. Geography quizzes break when two places share a name or a code. Test edge cases before sharing.
• Category fit. Placing your quiz in the right category (subdivisions, phone codes, and so on) is what makes it discoverable to the players browsing that section.
• Your statistics. If you are using the quiz to learn as well as to publish, the Anki-like features and statistics in a free account are the tools for reviewing your own progress.

Common Sticking Points

• Assuming creation requires payment. The site's materials describe account features without listing prices or payment requirements; check the account page itself for current terms rather than assuming either way.
• Choosing a topic too broad. "All world geography" is harder to make playable than "provinces of one country" — the featured quizzes are deliberately narrow.
• Skipping the test play. A quiz that looks correct in the editor can still have ambiguous prompts once someone else plays it.

If your goal is simply to play rather than author, the homepage's search and random-quiz options cover that; creation and remixing are the paths for contributing your own material.
