Can You Name the Country From Its Shape?

Think you know your way around the world? Here's your chance to prove it — by recognizing countries from nothing but their outline! Every country has its own unique shape, whether it’s the boot of Italy, the wide expanse of Brazil, or the jagged coasts of Japan. Some are instantly recognizable on a map, while others may test your memory and spatial thinking. In this quiz, you'll see the silhouette of a country — no names, no labels — and your challenge is to guess which country it is. Why do some shapes stick in our minds more than others? Often, it comes from seeing world maps in school, reading travel books, watching the news, or even playing games. Certain shapes — like the distinct horn of Africa, the long strip of Chile, or the island of Madagascar — are unmistakable. But for others, it might not be so easy! Some countries share similar borders or have irregular outlines that can be tricky to remember. This quiz is perfect for geography fans, travelers, and anyone who loves learning about the world. Whether you're a casual map lover or a hardcore trivia player, this is a fun and challenging way to test your geography skills. You might breeze through some — and be surprised by others!
