First, the thing most “Seterra alternatives” lists still get wrong: Seterra is not a standalone site anymore. GeoGuessr acquired it in 2022, and the classic map quizzes were folded into GeoGuessr’s platform. The original no-frills Seterra is gone as a destination.
So you are probably here for one of two reasons: an old bookmark took you somewhere unexpected, or the new home does not fit how you used to study. One practical warning before the list — with the original domain absorbed, lookalike “seterra” domains have appeared. If a geography quiz site asks for anything beyond a quiz click, close the tab.
Here is an honest map of where to go, depending on what you actually used Seterra for.
1. GeoGuessr — the official successor
Best for keeping your exact old quizzes. The classic Seterra map quizzes live on inside GeoGuessr, so if what you want is those specific quizzes, this is the legitimate home — plus the street-view guessing game the platform is known for.
Where it wins: map-quiz breadth, since the old Seterra catalogue was enormous. The trade-off: it is a large gaming platform now, with the account and subscription nudges that come with that, and quiz practice is a side room rather than the main event.
2. Sporcle — sheer variety
Thousands of user-made geography quizzes: name-all-197-capitals speed runs, outline quizzes, every variation imaginable. Where it wins: volume and community creativity.
The trade-off: it is a scoreboard, not a teacher. Sporcle will tell you that you scored 141 out of 197. It has no opinion about which 56 you missed, or when you should see them again.
3. JetPunk — timed type-in drills
Clean, fast, no-nonsense timed quizzes. Where it wins: speed-run practice and a strong user-quiz catalogue. Same trade-off as Sporcle — your misses evaporate when the timer does.
4. World Geography Games and Lizard Point — classroom clicking
Both are close in spirit to old Seterra: simple click-the-map exercises across countries, capitals, rivers, and flags. Where they win: zero friction, genuinely useful for a quick class drill. The trade-off: no memory of you between sessions.
5. FlagTutor — the honest pitch
Every option above shares a design assumption: the quiz is the product. You take it, get a score, and start from zero next visit. That is fine for trivia night. It is the wrong design if your goal is to actually learn the material — because the items you miss are precisely the ones the site forgets to show you again.
FlagTutor inverts that. The quiz is the input; the review queue is the product.
Weak Spots queue. Every miss is tracked, and items come back as you approach forgetting them, using spaced-repetition scheduling. See the Weak Spots module.
Two difficulty modes. Multiple choice to learn the shapes, hard-mode type-in to prove you know them.
Head-to-head play. Race a friend live with scores updating side by side, or send an async challenge link — and the misses still feed your queue.
Breadth beyond maps. Flags, world and US maps, capitals, currencies, languages, and regional sets. Browse all modules.
Where FlagTutor falls short, since every entry here gets one: if you want the exact classic Seterra click-the-map quizzes, GeoGuessr has them and we do not. And if you only ever want a one-off score with no account, Sporcle and JetPunk are lower friction than we are.
How to choose
You want your old quizzes back: GeoGuessr.
You want maximum variety for casual play: Sporcle or JetPunk.
You want a free classroom drill right now: World Geography Games or Lizard Point.
You want to still know this material next month: you need something that tracks misses over time — start with the flags module, or read the method behind it first.
Try it yourself
Every guide here is built on the same idea: the quiz is the input, the review queue is what makes it stick. Create a free account and your misses start feeding a spaced-repetition queue, or jump straight into the flags quiz without signing up.
