About Flag Zoom: Brazilian States

Brazilian States, one flag a day. Name it from a zoomed-in close-up; every wrong guess zooms out. For supporters. Every day's close-up is one of the 27 flags in the Brazilian States set, the same set as the Brazilian State Flags quiz.

A flag puzzle that starts with a close-up of one small corner, a star, a stripe or a bit of an emblem, and pulls back with every wrong guess. It rewards knowing flags in detail, not just at a glance. There are dailies for the world and the US states, plus sets of regional and expert flags. If you've played Flagle, it's the same idea, six guesses to name a flag from a piece of it, except the flag zooms out instead of uncovering tiles, and there are US state and regional sets as well as the world. (Geographys isn't affiliated with Flagle.)

How it works

  1. 1Name the country, state or territory from a close-up of its flag.
  2. 2You have six guesses. Every wrong one, or a skip, zooms the camera out, and the last guess shows the whole flag.
  3. 3Your score is the number of guesses you took, so lower is better. A miss scores X.

Tips

  • Read the colours before the shapes. Even a tiny corner gives away a flag's palette, and only a few flags share any one mix.
  • Look for detail: the points on a star, a piece of a coat of arms or the edge of an emblem can rule out whole regions.
  • Don't rush a guess you're unsure of. Each wrong one zooms out, so the picture only gets easier, but you only get six.

Questions

How is it scored?
By the number of guesses you took, from 1 to 6, so lower is better. Missing all six scores X.
Which sets are there?
The world's flags and the US states are free. Supporters also get continent sets and regional ones, like German states, Japanese prefectures, Canadian provinces and Swiss cantons, plus former countries and international organisations, each with its own daily and leaderboard.
When is there a new daily?
Every day at midnight where you are. Everyone gets the same puzzle on the same date, and practice rounds are random.
