How to play

You get a country name and a blank canvas — no reference image. Draw the flag from memory, then hit Reveal & Score.

How the score works

An uneven tricolour still scores in the nineties. The right colours in the wrong order does not.

Stuck? Take a hint

Three structure hints per flag. Each one adds dashed guides — where the divisions fall, where an emblem sits, how the proportions work — and never a colour or a name. They do not change your score, but the result and the share card note how many you took.

Why so many flags look alike

Most national flags are built from a small set of parts: two or three bands, a handful of colours, sometimes a cross or a canton. With that vocabulary, collisions are inevitable — Chad and Romania arrived at nearly the same design independently, and Indonesia and Monaco differ mainly in how long the rectangle is.

Recognising the difference when both flags are in front of you is easy. Reproducing the right one from memory is the hard part, which is what these pages train. Each comparison ends with a drawing challenge drawn from just those two flags.
