Country Flag Blaster - Educational Game

Country Flag Blaster – Educational Game

Country Flag Blaster is a fast-paced, arcade-style geography learning game built entirely in HTML5. Country flags fall from the top of the screen like enemies — players type the country name to identify each flag and shoot it down before it reaches the bottom. It’s addictive, educational, and endlessly replayable.

No frameworks. No backend. No installation. Drop the files on any web host and it works instantly.

195 Countries. 6 Continents.

Every UN-recognized country is in the game — 54 in Africa, 48 in Asia, 44 in Europe, 23 in North America, 12 in South America, and 14 in Oceania. High-quality flag images are loaded via flagcdn.com. The answer system is case-insensitive and accepts alternate spellings — “USA”, “United States”, and “America” all count as correct.
