About Kobadoo Flags
Kobadoo Flags is a memory drill wearing a geography theme. Flags appear, they go away, and you select them again in the order the round asked for. Knowing the flag is only half of the job: the sequence is the part that slips, and it grows longer than a person holds comfortably.
It plays in portrait with one input, on a phone or a desktop, and a round is short enough to fit into a gap in the day. Anyone who already knows their flags will find the memory harder than the geography, which is rather the point of it.
How to play
- Watch the flags the round shows you.
- Select them again in the same order.
- Clear the round. The next one gives you more to hold.

Tips
- Say the country names to yourself. A name holds in memory better than a pattern of colour.
- Learn the run in pairs rather than as one long list. Two flags at a time survive the gap.
