How to play Bunting Quay Flag Quiz

A flag quiz of all 195 countries on an oak quay at dusk: name the flag on the pole, pick a country's flag from four, or type the name yourself.

1. Press Start the round. Choose how to play (Flag to country, Country to flag or Type the country), where the flags come from (the whole world or one continent) and how many flags a round has.
2. In Flag to country, a flag goes up the pole: pick its country from the four name boards. In Country to flag, a country's name goes up on the sign: pick its flag from the four cards.
3. In Type the country, type the name of the flag on the pole and press Answer. Common other names count, and so does a small slip in a longer name, as long as it is nearer that name than any other country's.
4. After each answer, the note on the quay gives the capital and continent, or, after a miss on a look-alike, a tip on telling it from the flag it gets confused with. Next flag moves on; a right answer moves on by itself unless you change that in Settings.
5. At the end of the round you see your score, your best for that round and the flags to look at again, each a tap away in Learn mode. Menu opens today's ten, Learn the flags, your statistics, Settings and the rules.

Controls

• Touch or mouse: tap a name board or a flag card to answer. In Type the country, the letters on the quay type the name, so a phone's own keyboard stays out of the way. Menu and Next flag sit at the bottom edge, under your thumb.
• Keyboard: 1 to 4 pick a choice, Enter goes on to the next flag, letters type a name in Type the country, the left and right arrows step through Learn mode, Escape opens and closes the menu, and Tab moves between the buttons.
• Restart in the toolbar deals a new round with the same choices; a round left unfinished is not recorded. Today's ten stays put, since it is played once. The toolbar also has pause, help, optional sound and fullscreen.
