About This Quiz

You’ll see the name of a U.S. state, and your mission is simple: pick its capital city from four possible choices. Some will feel like a walk in the park—hello, Denver and Austin—while others might make you pause and wonder, “Wait, is that really it?”

This state quiz isn’t about memorization—it’s about recognition. Maybe you haven’t reviewed a U.S. map in years, but some capitals just click when you see them. Others might blur together—especially those with names that sound like they belong to three different states at once.

Whether you’re a geography nerd, a casual quiz lover, or someone who once drove through every state just for fun, this challenge is here for you. Go solo or challenge your friends to see who knows their capitals best. Just try not to mix up Salem and Santa Fe.
