Frequently asked questions

What is the capital of Costa Rica?

San Jose is the national capital of Costa Rica. It is also the capital listed for San Jose province, making it one of the easiest anchors in the province capitals quiz.

Which Costa Rica province capital is different from its province name?

The key non-matching pair is Guanacaste-Liberia. The other provinces in the game data use same-name capital pairs, which makes the quiz easier once the map is familiar.

What are the Central Valley capitals in Costa Rica?

The Central Valley capital set is San Jose, Alajuela, Cartago, and Heredia. Study them as one cluster, then add the coastal capitals Liberia, Puntarenas, and Limon.

Should I play the Costa Rica map quiz before capitals?

Yes. The capitals are easier when San Jose, Alajuela, Cartago, and Heredia, Guanacaste and Puntarenas, and Limon already have clear positions on the map.
