Two maps

The map from your classroom wall got Africa wrong.

On the classic Mercator map, Greenland looks about as big as Africa. In reality Africa is 14 times larger. Borderline lets you play on the familiar map, or on an equal-area map where every country has its true size.

Africa 30.4M km² Greenland 2.2M km²

Three quizzes

Shapes, capitals and flags.

Play the whole world or a single continent, with or without territories like Greenland and Puerto Rico.

Countries

Know every country by its shape and place, from Russia down to Vatican City.

Capitals

Match every capital to its country. Kingston or Kingstown? After a few rounds you'll know.

Flags

233 flags, from the easy ones to Chad and Romania, which are almost identical.

Close to home

Not just the world.

Two more maps, with the same three levels and their own best scores.

United States

All 50 states plus Washington, D.C., with Alaska and Hawaii. Then match every state to its capital: is it Frankfort or Louisville?

Israel

77 cities on the map of Israel, from Kiryat Shmona down to Eilat. Play the whole country or one district at a time, and see how close you land.

Three levels

Start with help. Finish with a blank map.

Borders drawn, names in a list

Drag each name onto its country, or tap the name and then the country. Three tries each, and a wrong drop shows you where it really is.

2Advanced

No list. Type it from memory

A country lights up and you type its name, in English or Hebrew. Small typos are forgiven; the wrong country is not. In the Flags quiz, you tap the flag's country instead.
