How to play

Name all 54 capitals in Roam’s Africa set in 11 minutes. Complete the whole set from memory. Enter one answer at a time. Correct answers are accepted automatically; duplicates do not add points. If a name also begins another answer, press Enter for the shorter name. Accents, capitalisation and punctuation do not need to match.

Use the country labels to work through the region. Accents and the alternative spellings in Roam’s dataset are accepted.

What’s included?

This quiz uses Roam’s 54-country Africa set within its 195-country catalogue (193 UN members, Palestine and Vatican City). Territories are excluded. Russia is grouped with Europe; Cyprus, Türkiye and the Caucasus with Asia. North America includes Central America and the Caribbean. Where a country has multiple capitals or seats of government, accepted alternatives follow Roam’s dataset.
