Ever confidently declared “Of course I know (all about) Estonia!” right before realising you can’t remember the name of its current Prime Minister — or that this entire quiz is in Estonian? This one’s for you. The annual Citizen’s Day Quiz is back!
And yes, we absolutely expect you to play.
From 26 November to 4 December 2025, the Integration Foundation (Integratsiooni SA) invites everyone — no matter the story your genes tell us about your Estonianness — to take part in the official Citizen’s Day Quiz (Kodanikupäeva viktoriin).
Click a button, answer 30 questions, panic slightly, wish you had remained anonymous, decide to own it regardless, win a prize, learn things (about Estonia, about yourself)… It’s the full Estonian educational experience.
One important detail: the quiz is entirely in Estonian — perfect for brushing up your language skills or testing how far you’ve come in your language studies.
You’ll get questions across sports, education, culture, science and the principles of how the Estonian state works — yes, including the bits you thought you’d never need again after high school.
👉 Start the quiz
Alright, you kept reading, so that means you want the rules. Smart move.
The mighty rulebook
Here’s what to expect while chasing quiz glory:
- You can’t go back. Just like life, this quiz does not let you return to earlier questions. No “actually, I changed my mind”. No backsies. Ei! (No!)
- You’ll get the correct answer after each question, along with a source link, which is perfect for learning… or quietly judging yourself.
- Some questions have more than one correct answer, because why make things simple?
- The top 10 high-scorers win prizes in December, courtesy of the Integration Foundation. BUT: If you already won a prize in 2023 or 2024, you’re benched from the 2025 prize draw (still allowed to play, though — we see you, quiet overachievers).
- Winners have to provide their full name to claim a prize. Email addresses and results are never published, and the winners’ list only appears with written consent. So go ahead — fail spectacularly in total privacy.
So why do it?
Because we know you can do it. We believe in you. Don’t worry, 45 seconds to answer each question is plenty (might want to stretch and have your coffee first).
With 10 prizes up for grabs your chances are pretty good. Better odds than the national lottery.
Because it’s fun. Because it’s educational. Because the hope of winning is slightly addictive. Because you’ll finally learn which Estonian band sings about snow in July (hint: they’re currently touring Australia), and whether that castle tower really is crooked or if it’s just your screen (wait, is that tower in Estonia or Italy?).
But most importantly — because bragging rights in the diaspora are eternal.
