Create a free room, invite friends with a code, and race to pick the real capital city. Hint: it is almost never the biggest one — Sydney, Istanbul, and Rio are all traps.

How it works
- 1
A country appears
Every round asks one question — like "What is the capital of Australia?" — with four cities to choose from. Three are famous. One is right.
- 2
Race to lock in
Everyone answers on their own device with 20 seconds on the clock. The faster you pick the correct capital, the bigger your speed bonus.
- 3
Learn the twist
Score 1000 points for the right answer plus up to 500 for speed — then the reveal explains why the capital isn't the city everyone guessed.
Why it's fun
🪤 Every question is a trap
The biggest, most famous city is sitting right there as an option — and it's wrong. Watching a confident friend slam "Sydney" in two seconds never gets old.
⚡ Speed beats certainty
Up to 500 bonus points for answering fast turns every round into a chicken race: lock in early for the bonus, or think it through and play it safe.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Guess the Capital free?
- Yes — completely free to play in your browser. No download, no signup needed. Just create a room and share the code.
- How many players do you need?
- 2 to 8 players per room. It works great head-to-head and gets properly competitive with 4 or more racing the clock.
- Can I play on my phone?
- Yes. The game works on any modern phone, tablet, or laptop browser. Everyone in the room can use a different device.
- Do I need to be good at geography?
- No — that's the joke. The capital is almost never the famous city, so confident geography buffs fall into the traps hardest. Every reveal teaches you the story behind the answer.
