K2, ancient civilizations, and 230 million people — how well do you know Pakistan?
Pakistan is home to more peaks above 7,000 meters than any other country on Earth, including K2 — the world's second-tallest mountain. From the ancient ruins of Mohenjo-daro to the bustling streets of Karachi, this quiz covers Pakistan's geography, history, culture, cuisine, landmarks, and famous personalities across 50 questions.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Pakistan's four provinces and major cities, the mighty Indus River, the legacy of the Indus Valley Civilization at Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, Mughal architecture at the Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort, the story of independence in 1947 under Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan's obsession with cricket, Sufi music and qawwali traditions, famous dishes like biryani and nihari, and the country's towering Karakoram peaks.
The Indus Valley Civilization (c. 3300-1300 BCE) was one of the world's earliest urban civilizations, flourishing in what is now Pakistan and northwest India. Its major cities, Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, featured advanced urban planning with grid-pattern streets and sophisticated drainage systems.
Cricket is Pakistan's national sport and a cultural obsession. Pakistan won the Cricket World Cup in 1992 under Imran Khan's captaincy and has produced legendary players like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, and Javed Miandad. Street cricket is played in virtually every neighborhood across the country.
K2 stands at 8,611 meters, making it the world's second-tallest mountain after Everest (8,849 m). However, K2 is widely considered far more difficult and dangerous to climb. It has a much higher fatality-to-summit ratio and has never been summited in winter until 2021.
