Flager is a quiz about the flags of the world. The flag is never shown outright — it resolves pixel by pixel, and the sooner you recognise it, the more points the round is worth.
The Pixel Match mechanic turns a plain test into a race of intuition. Experienced players catch a country from a couple of characteristic colour patches, newcomers wait for a recognisable shape, and both stay in the game.
Play solo to drill your geography, or with up to twenty people: everyone gets the same chain of flags and points accumulate across rounds.
How to play
- 1Choose how many rounds to play and how long each one lasts.
- 2Watch the flag emerge gradually from the pixels.
- 3Start typing a country name — suggestions appear right below the field.
- 4Pick a suggestion with the arrow keys and Tab, or type the full answer.
- 5Answer as early as you can: speed feeds directly into your score.
- 6After each round the answer is shown with everyone's score, and after the last one, the final table.
Highlights
- Over two hundred countries and territories
- Gradual Pixel Match reveal

- Solo practice and multiplayer for up to twenty
- Configurable round count and timer

Tactics and tips
- Read the colours before the shapes. A stripe combination narrows the field to a handful of countries long before the flag resolves.
- Learn flags in families: Nordic crosses, pan-Arab and pan-African palettes, British cantons. Within a family the difference is usually one detail.
- Start typing the moment you have a guess — the suggestions filter lookalike names faster than you can recall the exact spelling.
- Do not wait for a full reveal: points decay with time, and a confident answer halfway through beats a perfect one at the end.
- A wrong guess costs an attempt, not points. With two candidates, test both rather than stalling.
Common mistakes
- Waiting for a certain image and losing more points than a wrong guess would have cost.
- Confusing the classic lookalikes — Chad and Romania, Indonesia and Monaco, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Learn those pairs deliberately.
- Typing the full name instead of picking from the suggestions.
Frequently asked questions
How is scoring calculated?
The fewer pixels revealed when you answer correctly, the more the round is worth. A wrong guess costs no points, but the clock keeps running.
How many countries are included?
More than two hundred countries and territories, including plenty of rarely seen flags.
Can I practise on my own?
Yes, solo mode is always available and keeps its own accuracy statistics.
Do I have to spell the name perfectly?
No. Start typing and pick the right option from the suggestions — typos will not block you.
