This is fantastic and crazy difficult. I had to take untimed to finish- I got to around 320 timed.

I think an easier version might be in order- maybe offer the first 2 letters of the answer whenever there's a jump.

I had to quit after a long time because of Bujumbura, never heard of it even though I've gotten 196 on the capitals of the world quiz, hmmm.

bujumbura used to be the capital of burundi but it has been changed to gitega - this quiz needs to be updated to reflect that change

It should be updated as some capitals have changed (e.g. Astana -> Nur-Sultan)... Or these answers should be given at the start.. Great idea though!

allowing less than an hour is criminal, but i love the idea so so much, it diverted me for a long time! agree first-two-letter hints might be a good idea

This mistake is close to the start and still hasn't been corrected. Are you waiting for the kazakhs to change it back again?

Also, Bujumbura is no longer a capital city.

Scambigol, at this stage I'm pretty sure you are crazy. Nice quiz! I got 210 with a alphabetic list helping me to get to the next country/capital.

Port of Spain should be before Port Vila. I don't know why the Wikipedia page lists them out of order lol

Great quiz! One fix to the order -- after Quito and the jump to a new island, shouldn't it start at Eswatini?

This was very hard. I got about 20 in the time allotted and then went untimed and got 319 before that timed out. (10 hrs later) I was using a map and a list to help when I had to jump.

*** updates needed:

Astana --> Nur-Sultan

Bujumbura --> Gitega

Swaziland --> Eswatini

and Port of Spain comes before Port Vila alphabetically.

Bujumbura instead of Gitega?

Wasted 10 minutes on that.
