The Asian Flags Quiz puts all 46 UN-member countries of Asia in front of you, one flag at a time. From the crescents of the Middle East to the red stars of East Asia and the pan-Arab tricolours of the Gulf, it is a fast, mobile-friendly way to learn every Asian flag and remember which country each one belongs to.
Play it four ways. See a flag and name the country, see a country and pick its flag from four, race the clock in Speed Run, or browse the Learn library to study every flag with its capital, region, language and currency. Multiple-choice options are drawn from the same Asian subregion as the answer, so the Gulf states test you against each other rather than against Japan.
Come back every day for the Daily Challenge: ten flags, the same for everyone worldwide, with a shareable emoji-grid result and a streak counter to keep you coming back. No sign-up, no app to install, and it works offline once the page has loaded.

Tips: how to tell Asian flags apart
The crescent group. A star and crescent appears on several Asian flags. Turkey (red field), Pakistan (dark green with a white bar), Malaysia (14 stripes plus a yellow crescent) and the Maldives (green rectangle on red) are the ones players mix up most, so check the field colour and any extra stripes.
Red-star socialist flags. China (five yellow stars) and Vietnam (one large yellow star on red) are the classic pair. Both are red with yellow stars, so count the stars and check their size and arrangement.
Gulf and pan-Arab tricolours. Kuwait, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen share the red, white, black and green pan-Arab palette. The layout is the tell: horizontal bands, a side triangle or trapezoid, and the presence or absence of stars.
The two Koreas. South Korea carries the red-and-blue taegeuk with four black trigrams, while North Korea uses a broad red band with a white disc and red star. They look nothing alike once you know where to look.
Data and method
The quiz covers the 46 sovereign states that the open mledoze/countries dataset (ODbL) places in the region of Asia and that are members of the United Nations. Country facts (capital, subregion, language, currency) come from that dataset. The flag images are public-domain SVGs from flagcdn, bundled into the app so every flag renders the same on every device. Nothing is fetched while you play and no personal data is collected.

Frequently asked questions
How many flags of Asia are in the quiz?
Forty-six: every United Nations member state located in Asia. That includes Turkey and Georgia (grouped with Western Asia) but not Cyprus or Russia, which sit in Europe, nor Palestine or Taiwan, which are not UN member states.
Is the Asian Flags Quiz free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up and no ads inside the game.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The quiz is built mobile-first with large touch targets, so it plays well on phones, tablets and desktops.
How does the daily challenge work?
Each day the quiz picks ten flags from a seed based on the date in UTC, so every player worldwide gets the same set. Finish it and you can share a spoiler-free emoji grid of your result, and your streak grows for each consecutive day you play.
Why 46 flags and not 49 or 51?
Other quizzes count differently. Some add Palestine and Taiwan, some include Cyprus, and a few leave out small states. We use one clear rule, UN member states in Asia, which gives a consistent set of 46 that is easy to check.
What data powers the quiz?
Country facts come from the open mledoze/countries dataset (ODbL) and the flags are public-domain SVGs from flagcdn. Both are bundled at build time, so the running quiz makes no external calls.
