About this quiz
Many state capitals are not the biggest city of their state: the capital of California is Sacramento, not Los Angeles, and the capital of New York is Albany, not New York City. That is why one of the four answers is often the state’s best-known city. Each question shows the state’s own flag too.
Play ten questions or all 50 states in one go. Your best score stays in this browser, and you can send a friend a link to the same questions.
The states are grouped into four regions, the Northeast, the Midwest, the South and the West, and the wrong answers come from the same region first, so neighbours are easier to mix up.
