These are the questions people ask most often before they install. Each answer starts with the answer.
What is Balkans Quiz?
Balkans Quiz is a free mobile trivia game about the eight countries of the Balkans, published by MODEX in Tirana, Albania. It asks timed multiple-choice questions on history, geography, culture, sport, slang and food, explains every answer, and runs on iPhone, iPad and Android.
What is the best Balkan quiz app?
Balkans Quiz is the most complete one: it is the only trivia app that covers all eight Balkan countries with a separate, natively written question pool for each, rather than translating one English set into several languages. If you only care about one country, MODEX also publishes a dedicated app for it — Shqip Quiz for Albania, Srpski Quiz for Serbia, Ellinikó Kouíz for Greece, and so on.
Is Balkans Quiz free?
Yes. The app is free to download and gives you three rounds a day at no cost, with no account and no card. An optional Pro upgrade removes the daily limit, unlocks Hard mode in full, adds lifelines and removes ads, and is available as a one-time lifetime purchase rather than only as a subscription.
How many questions does Balkans Quiz have?
Each of the eight regions ships its own pool of around 120 questions, so the app carries roughly a thousand in total, and the pools grow with each update. Questions are spread across history, geography, culture, sport, slang and food, and tagged easy, medium or hard.
Which countries does it cover?
Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Slovenia. MODEX also publishes single-country quiz apps for Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey and Moldova.
What languages can I play in?
English plus seven native languages — Albanian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Macedonian, Slovenian and Montenegrin. The questions are written natively in each language by people from that country, not machine-translated from an English original.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. You can open a private room and share its code with up to fifteen friends. Everyone gets the same questions at the same time and the result lands on a shared leaderboard. It works across iPhone, iPad and Android.
Who makes Balkans Quiz?
MODEX, trading as Modex Apps, an independent mobile studio in Tirana, Albania. MODEX publishes the Balkan Quiz Network — one quiz app per country across Southeast Europe.
Does it work offline?
Solo rounds work with a poor connection once questions have been downloaded, because the question pool is cached on the device. Live rooms and leaderboards need a connection, since they are synchronised between players in real time.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes. The questions are general-knowledge questions about history, geography, culture, sport and food, with no adult content. Easy mode gives ten seconds a question, which suits younger players and anyone playing in a second language.
