Regions of Türkiye Quiz

The Regions of Türkiye Quiz asks which of the 7 geographical regions of Türkiye the highlighted province belongs to. Each right answer paints the province in its region colour, and by the end of the round the whole country has turned into a coloured region map. Regions is a mode of the Türkiye Map Quiz game: your card album and records are shared with the main game.

This guide covers choosing a round, answering, scoring, the end-of-round report and quick ways to learn the regions.

The goal is to put each of the 81 provinces in the right region. The question shows the province name and highlights it on the map; the map zooms in, so you also see the provinces around it. Below are 7 region buttons: Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean, Central Anatolia, Black Sea, Eastern Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia. Each button shows the colour of its region, and these colours build up on the map during the round.

When the game opens you get two choices. Full round: 81 provinces asks every province in random order; at the end the whole map is painted and your score goes to the leaderboard. Quick round: 20 provinces asks 20 random provinces; it suits a short break or a quick review, and its score is kept only as your best on this device.

In both rounds time only affects the score: the round never ends because time runs out, so you can also play without hurrying.

Tap the button of the right region or press a key from 1 to 7 (1 Marmara, 2 Aegean, 3 Mediterranean, 4 Central Anatolia, 5 Black Sea, 6 Eastern Anatolia, 7 Southeastern Anatolia). On a right answer the button turns turquoise, the province is painted in its region colour and the next question comes straight away.

On a wrong answer the button turns red and a note appears, such as "Kayseri is not in Eastern Anatolia"; you then choose again for the same province. You have 3 tries per province. After the third miss the correct region is shown, the province is still painted in its colour and it is added to the list at the end of the round.

• Right on the first try: 100 points, plus up to 50 for a quick answer
• Right on the second try: 50 points
• Right on the third try: 25 points
• Three misses: no points, the correct region is shown

The top score for a full round is 81 × 150 = 12,150. At the end you see your score together with accuracy (the share of provinces you got on the first try), time and the number of mistakes. Only full-round scores go to the Regions leaderboard.

Once the last question is answered, the map becomes a report card: all 81 provinces are painted in the colours of the 7 regions and the province names appear. On a computer hover over a province, on a phone press and hold, to see its name. The results screen lists Ones you missed and the New cards you opened this round. View the map closes the results window and leaves the coloured map on screen, so you can study the region borders at your own pace.

The map zooms to the highlighted province for every question. You can zoom in and out with two fingers or the mouse wheel and drag to move around; the corner buttons and the +, - and 0 keys do the same (0 fits the whole map). Turning your phone sideways makes the map bigger. In Regions mode you answer with buttons, so you never need to tap a small province.
