About Globetrot Quiz

A geography quiz with a travel theme, built on open data.

Globetrot Quiz is a free set of geography quizzes: maps, flags, capitals and the size of countries, with a quiz of the day and 180 numbered expeditions. It works in English, Italian, Hungarian and Finnish, on phones and on desktop, and it asks for nothing: no account, no e-mail address, no download.

Every round is made from a seed. The same seed gives the same questions on every device, which is how the quiz of the day and the expeditions are the same for everyone. Your progress, scores and passport stamps stay in your own browser.

Data sources and licences

The quiz is only as good as its data, so here is where every piece comes from.

Borders and names

Borders are drawn as they are on the ground, following Natural Earth, and take no position in any dispute. Disputed and non-independent territories appear in neutral grey without a name and are never asked about. Country names follow the Unicode CLDR forms, with a few small changes for clarity (for example DR Congo and Republic of the Congo instead of the city names in brackets).

Licences

Natural Earth data is in the public domain. Flags are used under the MIT licence of flag-icons. Country names come from Unicode CLDR under the Unicode License. Wikidata content is CC0. World Bank data is used under CC BY 4.0; figures are shown as published.
