The best free geography games on Android are quick quizzes on maps, flags and capitals, plus map puzzles where you fit countries into place. Two listings here say they work offline, which helps on journeys. Pick a map game to learn where places are and a flag or capitals quiz to drill names.
Geography is one of those subjects that sticks far better when it feels like a game. Ask a child to memorise capitals from a list and you'll get a groan, but a timed quiz that keeps score is another story.
I read the Google Play listings for ten geography games and noted the developer, installs, the ads and in-app purchases labels, the content rating and anything they say about offline play. They're in no particular order.
They aren't all the same kind of game. Some test you on flags, some on capitals, some ask you to tap the right place on a world map, and one turns the map into a jigsaw. Knowing which skill you want to practise makes choosing much easier.

Maps, flags and capitals, app by app

Quiz games on long car journeys
Two listings here say they work offline: Flags Quiz and Where is that? Geography Quiz. That makes them useful for the back seat, where the signal can vanish just as someone gets bored. For more ideas that need no data at all, see my guide to offline games for kids on a road trip.
A shared quiz works well in the car too. One person holds the phone and reads out the flag or the country, and everyone else shouts answers. It's noisy, but it beats asking how long until we're there.
Turning a quiz into a party round
Flag and capital quizzes make a great round at a family get-together. Split into teams, take turns with the phone and keep a tally. If you're planning a games evening for mixed ages, my roundup of party games for adults and kids has more ideas you can borrow at any time of year.
Labels a parent should glance at
Nearly all ten show a Contains ads label, and Globo is the exception. Most have in-app purchases, though the capitals quiz from Jean-Philippe MARY and Countries of Europe Quiz show no in-app purchases label. Flags Quiz is rated Teen, so check that one before a younger child plays.
Some games, like Globo and Where is that?, include matches against other players. If you'd rather your child played alone, look for the single-player modes the listings describe.
Learning more about the world
Geography sits nicely next to science, because both are about how the world works. If your child enjoys these quizzes, try some free science games for curious kids next. A globe or a paper map on the wall also helps: once a country has come up in a quiz, finding it on a real map makes it stick.
