Palau has over 700 coral species — more than the entire Caribbean Sea combined. This 50-question quiz explores one of the world's premier diving destinations, from the millions of stingless golden jellyfish in Ongeim'l Tketau to the 445 limestone Rock Islands, the WWII wrecks of Peleliu, Palau's groundbreaking marine sanctuary protecting 80% of its waters, and the matrilineal traditions of this tiny Micronesian republic.
Each round presents 10 randomized multiple-choice questions drawn from a pool of 50, so every playthrough is different. You get instant feedback with explanations after each answer, plus a shareable score at the end.
Questions cover Palau's 500+ islands, the world-famous Blue Corner dive site, the Palau Pledge stamped into every visitor's passport, the Battle of Peleliu in 1944, the Compact of Free Association with the US, traditional bai meeting houses, the ban on reef-toxic sunscreen, and over 3,000 years of Micronesian settlement.
Yes, Jellyfish Lake (Ongeim'l Tketau) on Eil Malk island allows visitors to snorkel among millions of golden jellyfish that have lost their sting over 12,000 years of isolation. The lake was closed from 2016 to 2018 when jellyfish populations crashed due to El Nino but has since reopened.
Palau is a Micronesian island nation in the western Pacific Ocean, located roughly 800 km east of the Philippines and 3,200 km south of Tokyo. It consists of over 500 islands, though only 9 are permanently inhabited, with a total population of about 18,000.
Palau is consistently ranked among the world's top diving destinations due to its extraordinary marine biodiversity: over 700 coral species, 1,500 fish species, and pristine waters. Famous dive sites include Blue Corner, German Channel (for manta rays), and numerous WWII wrecks. Palau also created one of the world's largest marine sanctuaries in 2015, protecting 80% of its waters.
