Frequently Asked Questions

How many world capitals should one quiz cover?

10-15 questions works well for a single sitting — enough to sample several continents without turning into a marathon. If you want deeper coverage, it's better to run separate quizzes per continent than to cram 50 countries into one.

Should easier or well-known capitals come first?

It's common to start with widely-known capitals (France, Japan, Brazil) to build confidence, then mix in less familiar ones later in the quiz. You can reorder or edit any generated question if you want a specific difficulty curve.

Can I generate this quiz for free?

Yes — a free SimpleQuizMaker account gives you 5 AI quiz generations a month, up to 10 questions each. Describe which continents or countries you want covered and the AI builds the matching questions; a paid plan raises both limits.

Can I focus the quiz on just one continent instead of the whole world?

Yes — this template covers a global mix, but you can change the prompt to something like "capitals of Europe only" or "capitals of Southeast Asia" to generate a narrower, continent-specific quiz instead.
