In this geographical game of Snap, you match various things into pairs. You have the choice of matching countries, capitals, country flags and country shapes to each other, in any combination you wish.

There are 3 different possible board sizes, each including progressively harder flags, shapes or capitals. How fast can you match them all correctly and clear the board?

To play, simply select all the categories you wish to include in your game, and then hit the green button. You will then be presented with pairs of tiles which need to be matched together.

Think you've mastered this? Perhaps try some of JetPunk's Country Flag Quizzes or Country Shape Quizzes!

Select Categories to Include:
Countries ✓ Capital Cities ✓ Country Flags ✓ Country Shapes ✓
Select Board Size:

Note: this minigame uses Countries, Capitals, Flags and Shapes as presented here on JetPunk. Specific choices are standard across JetPunk and won't be changed just for this minigame.

Just 8 months after Even Split, we have another JetPunk minigame! To see how this one came about, you can read the blog about it here: A New JetPunk Minigame.

That feeling when you get a good set but it has Monaco, Indonesia, and Poland at the same time

Level 68

Oct 26, 2020

I got the flags for Romania and Chad in the same round twice. And both times I guessed the wrong flag...

Level 68

Oct 26, 2020

Romania / Chad should no longer be a possible combination, I also made a couple other exceptions including Indonesia and Monaco

Level 63

Oct 27, 2020

Ivory coast and Ireland too please.

+22

Level 68

Oct 27, 2020

No, the point is not to make it easy, the point is to remove impossible confusion. Ireland and Ivory Coast are very clearly different flags, whereas Chad and Romania are practically identically.

Level 65

Mar 25, 2021

yes, if you look at it, ivory coast flag looks nothing like Irelan'ds

Level 37

May 1, 2022

Stewart, then there is Poland, Monaco and Indonesia that look very similar. If the point of the game is to make it easy, then why not remove one country and flag from the 'Easy' mode?

Level 57

Awesome game, thanks! I managed to get some highest all-time scores. Not that hard when it's only been a day :)

You were right. Just got 11.0! Probably not possible for me to do too much faster since I'm spending too much time moving the mouse.

Oct 26, 2020

Maybe it's finally time to invest in a tablet :) Lot's of screen real estate to see the flags, and super quick to tap everything with ease!

Hacker confirmed

Level 55

Oct 26, 2020

It is impossible to change the source code. Though it would be easy to hack if you could, just change the timer so that it speeds up your time

Level 68

Oct 26, 2020

This was a bug in the way we calculated times, unfortunately this has meant we had to reset the scores. Sorry for this (see the sticky post)

Level 74

Oct 27, 2020

The bug seems to be that if your computer was lagging, it would register time very slowly. I got "super fast" times that actually were much longer because my computer was lagging yesterday.

Level 68

Oct 27, 2020

Yep, basically we added 100ms onto your time every 100ms. However if you computer was lagging, then the "waiting" period of 100ms could be extended, meaning when the function adds 100ms the time passed was likely different to that. To fix this, we now calculate the actual time passed every 100ms, so even if your computer lags, the time shown will always be accurate!

Level 68

Oct 26, 2020

Wow, thanks for making this great game Stewart! Even though I really suck at all of the modes, it is really addicting and I can’t stop playing it!

Level 68

Oct 26, 2020

Thanks! Based on leaderboards I saw earlier, you seem to be doing pretty good :)

Level 68

Oct 26, 2020

Yes, and then overnight my records were crushed :(

Level 61

Oct 26, 2020

Same :(

Level 37

Oct 26, 2020

So great! Can you put a challenge of Country Flag (or Country only) X Capital?

Level 61

Oct 26, 2020

Ooh or all four

Level 37

Oct 26, 2020

What?

Level 61

Oct 26, 2020

Country names, flags, shapes and capitals

Level 37

Oct 26, 2020

Yes!

Level 68

Oct 26, 2020

Yes, this idea was suggested to me already and will likely happen at some point in the future. It would need a reorganisation of the mode selector though, as simply adding one new option (e.g. capitals) would add possibly 6 new game modes, which would make the list very cluttered

Level 61

Oct 26, 2020

True. I think a checkbox list might work, so if you want capitals and shapes, you could tick those two off. Just an idea, though.

Level 68

Oct 26, 2020

Yep that was exactly along the lines I was thinking

Level 37

Oct 26, 2020

Understood, thanks!

Level 61

Oct 26, 2020

I just got Ivory Coast and Ireland... :(

+12

Level 75

Oct 26, 2020

There's a good way to remember which is which.

Ireland, also known as the Emerald Isle, so green goes first.

Ivory Coast (or Côte d'Ivoire) is close to the equator, where it is hot. Hotter colours are mainly red and orange, so orange goes first.

Then after the orange/green, it is white, then the other colour (orange or white.)

Level 30

May 19, 2022

yeah that's a way to remember it, but I found a mistake at the end, the colors are orange and green, not orange and white

Level 63

Oct 26, 2020

Cool Minigame.

Level 17

May 5, 2021

Level 81

Oct 26, 2020

Well that were some nice couple hours when it was actually possible for me to make it on the leaderboard. This comment will now be the only place you can read my name :D

Level 75

Oct 26, 2020

Same here. On Flags and Names, I managed to be 2nd on Easy, and 1st on medium and hard. Even though I'm sad this progress is gone, I'm glad that it is now fixed and everyone can play fair.

Level 81

Oct 28, 2020

Oh I wasn't talking about anyone playing unfair. My brain and fingers are simply not fast enough to go quicker than certain times. Even now I will only make it on the leaderboards when few people have played :D

+13

Level 68

Oct 26, 2020

It is with great sadness that, after 24 hours of being live, we have had to reset the stats for Snap. It came to our attention that the timing system we were using was very easily manipulated, and not at all accurate on slower devices, which meant all scores achieved so far were not accurate on their time. Some even had scores as low as 0.8 seconds! (This would have permanently affected all leaderboards without a reset). We expect this to be a one-time issue.

We have now fixed this bug, and we apologise for all the scores being lost. We hope you continue to enjoy Geography Snap - now with accurate timing and complete fairness!

Level 63

Oct 27, 2020

Does it register double clicks on mobile? Cause a quarter of my clicks don't get registered.

Level 68

Oct 27, 2020

We're aware of some issues with clicks not being registered on mobile, we're investigatingnwhy this might be happening because from my end I can replicate the issue but have not yet found why it's happening. Once I've fixed it I'll reply here to see if it's fixed for other as well.

Level 68

Oct 27, 2020

I hope this issue is now resolved, please let me know.

Level 63

Oct 28, 2020

I tried a few games on my phone using three fingers, and some clicks do not get registered(when I click 3 tiles at once.)

Level 68

Oct 28, 2020

Multi touch is not supported, that'll be why

How the hell are people this fast? Most all those top scores seem impossible to get close to, much less beat.

Level 68

Nov 15, 2020

It's much quicker on mobile, as you aren't restricted by mouse movements. The fastest device is actually a tablet / touch screen laptop, since then you have the benefit of the desktop layout with the speed of finger tapping!

Level 65

Mar 23, 2021

I am now very close to the top score of all time on countries/flags hard and I'm on a desktop, so it's definitely possible.

Dec 10, 2020

@Stewart, for me Brasilia is misspelled. I receive Brasili... Can you correct it?

Level 68

Dec 10, 2020

I'm not sure I understand, for me Brasilia shows up as expected?

Level 37

Dec 10, 2020

Strange... and I meant that when I received Brazil, the answer Brasilia is spelled Brasili.

Level 68

Dec 10, 2020

Well the game retrieves the capitals exactly from the Capitals of the World quiz. So I don't know how that happened for you

Level 37

I just got onto the last of all 45 all-time leaderboards and currently hold the record in 27 categories (runner-up in 8 more) … I think I can say that I'm the world's best Geography Snap player. What an obscure honour.

Hi. Do you need a video to verify the veracity of a time ?

I just got 3.6 on Country Flags 5x4 and I'm surprised I'm second, as I did this minigame, like, fifty times.

Level 68

Sep 18, 2021

Nope the score will save and be added to the leaderboard automatically if you're logged in at the time. Also, some people have played this thousands of times!

Yup, earlier this year probably after US withdrawal

Level 61

Dec 1, 2021

The blue writing for capital cities, if you want to differentiate it from the countries, is woefully inadequate. Either do white text on a black background, or change the text to bold and red (or something similar). Having it just blue makes the text look like a hyperlink, which almost everyone has trained themselves to ignore by 2021. If there is meant to be a difference, the difference means jack sh*t for what you have actually implemented.

Level 65

Mar 25, 2022

The difference is much more noticeable if you change to dark mode.

Level 68

Mar 25, 2022

Finally decided to remove the blue text for capitals. Not sure why i did it in the first place.

Level 45

Mar 28, 2022

First of all I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate the game, it's really cool and I love doing it. It's a lot of fun.

I know that you can never make everybody happy, and I'm sure that there are plenty of people that disagree with me, but I did find the blue text quite useful. That way you actually had four different categories and the pattern recognition part of ones brain is able to pick it up better. Maybe use another colour than blue, if it deters other people from clicking the text?

idk, I will continue to do the game either way, it is super fun. Though with worse times (for now at least). Thanks for making this great game, I really love it!

Hey ! Does the "Top Today" leaderboard shows the records from the real day (midnight to midnight) or from the last 24 hours ? And the same goes for "Top This Week", does it take into account the records from this real week or from the last 7 days ? Thank you !

Level 68

Jun 8, 2022

Top Today is midnight to midnight EST (where JetPunk servers are based).

Top This Week is from midnight 7 days ago to now, so at 12pm EST it actually has 7.5 days worth of data included.

Jun 23, 2022

Hey ! I wanna know something I noticed on the leaderboards. Let's say that a player got a time of 5.0s in whatever category. And later, another player also get a time of 5.0s. Well, this player will be placed either first or second, even if the two did the same time. Why does this happen ?

Thanks in advance !

Level 68

Jun 23, 2022

If they have the exact same time, then we prioritise the newest score so that the leaderboard keeps changing!

Aug 22, 2022

I’m not sure if it’s just me but I’m having to click multiple times for it to register 1 click. I’ve played this a lot but it seems less sensitive to the touch. Anyone else experiencing this?

Level 68

Aug 22, 2022

On desktop or phone? I know it runs worse on slow devices, not sure why

Level 85

Aug 22, 2022

On phone. I’ve been using my mobile for months and it just seems a little less responsive as of late.

Level 68

Aug 22, 2022

Not sure, maybe it recognises it as a drag sometimes instead of a click?

I'll see if I can do anything on JetPunk's side to help

Level 85

Thanks, Stuart. It could be a million variables but just thought I’d reach out and see if it was happening to anyone else. Fantastically addictive game by the way. Very well done:)

Sep 15, 2022

Yikes! I was just doing capitals and flags, and couldn't remember Astana. Then it dawned on me that was the previously name for Nur-Sultan! Also, nice that you changed Ukraine's capital to Kyiv.

Level 68

Sep 16, 2022

Yep this uses the World Capitals Quiz to source the capital names, and the every flag and every shape quiz for those.

Level 85

Sep 19, 2022

It’s interesting because now the capital for Kazakhstan has changed back to Astana. Is this a glitch as I thought the capital changed its name to Nur Sultan?

Level 68

Sep 19, 2022

Well Nur-Sultan was actually reverted! Astana is the name again officially :)

Level 85

Sep 20, 2022

I actually googled it to make sure I didn’t leave a stupid comment and I didn’t find that anywhere. Oh well. I should know better than to doubt Jetpunk, or trust Wikipedia for that matter😆

Level 68

Sep 20, 2022

The Wikipedia article for Astana states that it was called Nur-Sultan and then reverted just last week :)

In September 2022, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced that the city would revert to the former name Astana. On 17 September, he signed a law that amended the constitution to restore the name Astana.
