QuizWorld Geography quiz questions with answers
Thirty questions that travel around the world: continents and oceans, capitals that people mix up, the highest, the deepest and the longest. Handy for geography class and for travel-loving groups.
Easy round
Ten easy questions to warm up. Most players should get seven or more.
- Which is the largest continent?

Medium round
Ten questions that need a little thought. A good round to split the teams.

Tricky round
Ten harder questions. Give double points here if you like a dramatic finish.

How to play
Open a round and tap the option you think is right. The answer and a short note appear at once, and your score is counted at the bottom. To play with a group, send the round on WhatsApp and paste the answer key when the time is up.
Who this topic suits
World Geography suits players of about ten and above who enjoy maps: countries and capitals, oceans, rivers, mountains and deserts. It works well for school quiz teams, travel-loving families and friends' groups with members living in different countries. The Easy round sticks to the continents, oceans and best-known countries, so younger players are not left out.
Hosting tips
Keep a world map or a globe at hand. After each answer, let the team that got it right point to the place; it turns a list of names into a picture, and it settles arguments quickly. Place names can be spelt in more than one way in English, so accept an answer that is clearly the same place. If you want a longer evening, follow this topic with the India rounds and let teams choose which of the two carries double points.
