About Midweek Mix

Every Wednesday: twenty quick questions on flags, outlines and capitals against a four-minute clock. One attempt.

A weekly event every Wednesday: twenty quick questions mixing flags, country outlines and capitals against a four-minute clock. Everyone plays the same set, and there's one attempt.

How it works

  1. 1Each question shows a flag, an outline, a country or a capital. Type your answer and press Enter, or press Skip to move straight on.
  2. 2A right answer is worth 50 points. When two players score the same, the quicker finish ranks higher.
  3. 3You get one go at each Wednesday's set. Weeks you missed wait in the archive.

Tips

  • Skip quickly. A skip costs only time, and four minutes for twenty questions is tight.
  • Go with the familiar. The questions lean toward countries with bigger populations, so when you're torn, the better-known answer is the safer bet.
  • Don't freeze on one type. If outlines are your weak spot, skip them and bank the flags and capitals.

Questions

How is it scored?
50 points for each right answer, up to 1,000. Ties go to whoever finished faster.
Can I play it later?
Each edition is live on its Wednesday. Past editions are in the archive afterwards, and only your first attempt counts for the leaderboard.

What's in a Midweek Mix

Midweek Mix has run every Wednesday since 30 September 2026. Each edition mixes four kinds of question in equal shares: a country from its flag, a country from its outline, the capital of a country, and the country a capital belongs to. It's seeded by the date, so everyone gets the same questions in the same order.

With twenty questions in four minutes, that's about 12 seconds each. Results go up on the events page, and groups get their own table, so you can compare a week with friends as well as with everyone.

No country comes up twice in one edition, so a flag and a capital never share an answer. The capital questions also skip countries with more than one capital, and capitals that echo their country's name, since those would give the answer away.
