    How to Play the Europe Flags Quiz

    A flag quiz for the 45 countries of Europe. Europe is full of near-identical tricolours, so this quiz rewards attention to colour order, stripe direction and small coats of arms.

    1. Look at the flag. Three of the nine tiles start open.
    2. Guess the country. Every miss opens three more tiles and gives a hint: the continent, the main colours, then the first letter.
    3. Keep your run going. Solve it within three tries and move on to the next flag. Your best run is saved on this device.

    Tips for the Europe Flags

    • Five Nordic countries use the off-centre Scandinavian cross: Denmark (white on red), Norway (blue and white on red), Sweden (yellow on blue), Finland (blue on white) and Iceland (red and white on blue).
    • Check the stripe direction first. France, Belgium, Italy, Ireland, Romania and Moldova are vertical; Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Russia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Estonia are horizontal.
    • The Netherlands and Luxembourg are both red, white and blue horizontal stripes. Luxembourg uses a lighter blue and a longer flag.
    • White, blue and red Slavic tricolours are separated by their arms: Slovakia and Slovenia add a coat of arms to the Russian pattern, and Serbia reverses the order to red, blue, white.
    • Poland is white over red. Monaco is red over white, as is Indonesia in Asia, so if the red is on top it is not Poland.
    • A black double-headed eagle on red is Albania. Montenegro has a gold eagle on red with a gold border.
