Geography Trivia Wheel
Test your Geography knowledge with a spinning trivia wheel quiz game.
What Is the Geography Trivia Wheel?
The Geography Trivia Wheel hits capitals, rivers, mountain ranges, flags, landmark locations, climate zones, and the strange political borders that show up in every how well do you know the world quiz.
It's the category that humbles travel show enthusiasts in about three rounds.

Use Options to drop questions as they are used, then save your Geography mix under "My Wheels" for the next quiz night.
Geography Trivia Wheel Use Cases
It suits classroom geography units, family travel planning, pub quizzes, and casual play at an airport when somebody won't stop mentioning how well travelled they are.
Teachers use it to anchor lessons about regions students rarely study. It also works as revision for anyone taking a citizenship test.
Capital Confusions
There's a whole genre of geography question built on capitals that aren't the famous city, and it never stops catching people. Canberra, not Sydney. Ottawa, not Toronto. Ankara, not Istanbul. Brasília, not Rio. Wellington, not Auckland.
The pattern exists because several countries deliberately built or chose compromise capitals away from their dominant cities, and the dominant city kept the fame.
Beyond capitals, the category's other reliable well is borders. China and Russia are tied at 14 land neighbours each, about a quarter of the world's countries are landlocked, and two of those, Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan, are double landlocked, surrounded entirely by other landlocked countries. Projecting the wheel and having the room commit out loud before the reveal turns this from a quiz into a spectator sport.
Hosting Tips
Capitals are the questions most adults get wrong most often, so nobody should be embarrassed when half the table guesses Sydney.
In a classroom, project the wheel and have students commit to an answer out loud before the reveal. It turns a quiz into a spectator event.

The Geography wheel is a starting point, not a fixed list. Add your own entries by typing them, pasting a list, dragging a file in, or importing a .txt or .csv file or a Google Classroom roster.
More wheels:
The Preset menu in the nav bar holds the rest: sports team generators, trivia rounds, colour and shade pickers, quick decision wheels like Yes or No and Coin Flip, and Nearby Places for picking somewhere to go.
