About this quiz
Ribbia counts 197 countries: the 193 members of the United Nations plus Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo and Taiwan. The hidden flag is always one of the 54 from Africa, but any country in the world opens a tile.
- Every flag is shown in a 4 by 3 frame, so flags with other proportions are fitted to it.
- The flags of Chad and Romania, and of Indonesia and Monaco, are drawn alike, so either country of a pair wins the round.
- The tiles open in an order shuffled for each picture, so no answer always opens the same corner.
- A round scores the tiles still shut when you name the picture. A wrong guess opens one tile, the same as any other answer, and text that is not on the list costs nothing.
- A play is 5 pictures. The first play of each day is the same 5 for everyone; play again for a fresh set.
