Can you name all 50 US states?
The United States has exactly fifty states. No bonus territories, no trick rounds that stretch to a hundred. This free quiz asks you to name every US state from memory — type the names, or find each named state on a blank map. The timer runs up so you can race yourself, but nothing cuts you off.
Typing or the map — your choice
Type mode is the familiar blank box: enter California, CA, or a common alias and we check a local 50-state list — no Wikidata round trip. Map mode is a locate quiz: we name a state, you click the correct shape on a blank Albers USA outline — wrong clicks do not score. Capitals mode is a separate 0/50 list: type seat cities freely, or click a state on the map then name its capital. Type ↔ Map share one state score; Capitals keeps its own.

The state capitals round
Switch to the Capitals tab to name all 50 state capitals from memory — type Sacramento, Albany, Olympia, or click a state on the blank map and enter its seat. It is a separate 0/50 list from the state-name rounds (Type and Map share one score; Capitals keeps its own). Want world capitals instead? Name 100 Capitals is the global seat list.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many states are there in the USA?
50 — that's the whole target on this page. There's no hard cutoff, so you can take your time.
Do I type the state names, or click them on a map?
Either one for the state-name round: Type mode takes typed names; Map mode shows a state name and you click that shape on a blank USA outline. Wrong clicks do not score. Switch any time — same score. Capitals is a separate 0/50 seat round.
Is there a map version?
Yes. Map mode uses a blank US outline: we name a state, you find it. Capitals mode also shows that map — click a state, then type its capital.
Does it include state capitals?
Yes. Switch to the Capitals tab: type the 50 state capitals, or click a state on the blank map and name its seat. For world capitals, play Name 100 Capitals.
Is this the same as Name All 50 States?
Yes — 50 is the finish line here. There's no 100-state mode, because there are only 50.
Is this the same as name every state?
Yes — there are 50 states, and this is the full list to name. Type them or find them on the map.
Can I play without state borders labeled?
Yes. Map mode ships unlabeled by default — you locate the named state by shape. Capitals uses the same blank outline until you score a seat.
Is there a time limit?
No hard cutoff. The timer runs up so you can compare times with friends, but nothing stops you.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Free, no signup, no email. Play straight in the browser.
