Can you name all 14 flags of Oceania?
Name the country behind each of the 14 flags of Oceania, from Australia to Vanuatu. Four carry the Union Jack (Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and Tuvalu) and four show the stars of the Southern Cross (Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Samoa). Watch for close pairs such as Australia and New Zealand, and Fiji and Tuvalu. Wrong guesses can be tried again, there is no timer, and the run is complete when you have named all 14.
How to play
- A flag fills the board. Type the name of its country in the box below. Capital letters, accents and punctuation do not matter, and common alternative names such as “Ivory Coast” or “UK” are accepted.
- 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 flag counts as missed.
- The 14 flags 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
Read each flag in three passes: the layout (bands, a cross, a triangle), the order of the colours from the flagpole or from the top, then any emblem. Often the emblem is the only difference: Australia and New Zealand share the Union Jack and the Southern Cross and differ in the colour and number of their stars.
