Can you name the capital of all 14 countries of Oceania?
Each round shows a country of Oceania and its flag; type its capital. Australia’s capital is Canberra, not Sydney. Wrong guesses can be tried again, there is no timer, and naming all 14 completes the run.
How to play
- Each round shows a country’s name and flag. Type its capital in the box below. Capital letters, accents and punctuation do not matter, and where a country has several capitals or a separate seat of government, any listed city is accepted, along with common alternative spellings.
- A correct answer is accepted by itself after a short pause and the next round begins. Press Enter to check any other answer.
- A wrong guess is marked so you can try again, as often as you like. There is no timer.
- Stuck? Press Finish to end the run: the answer is revealed and that country counts as missed.
- The 14 capitals of Oceania come in shuffled order, each once. Your score counts up to 14 at the top of the board, and naming the last one completes the run. The answer review below the board lists every round.
- Your result is saved in this browser. Once enough people have played a game, the results also show how your score ranks, and you can copy or share an image of your result, or replay.
Tips for playing
Think about the official capital rather than the best-known city: in this set, the capital of New Zealand is Wellington and the capital of Palau is Ngerulmud.

Frequently asked questions
How many capitals are in the Capitals of Oceania quiz?
14, one for each country of Oceania in the site’s 197-country list. The Cook Islands, Niue and dependent territories are not separate answers; Indonesia and Timor-Leste are counted in Asia.
Do I need to type accents or punctuation?

What happens if I guess wrong?
Nothing is lost. The guess is marked and you can try again as often as you like. The run ends when you name all 14 or press Finish, which reveals the answer.

From the mledoze/countries dataset (Open Database License 1.0), adapted with accepted alternative spellings and seats of government and last reviewed in October 2026. The full list of accepted answers is below.
