France 10 Km Expanding Circles Challenge – Choose City

First choose any French 1K+ city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the largest France 1K+ city in each 10 km circle/ring as the rings expand outward from your city of choice. The first circle will include your city of choice as a possible answer if it is the largest city in that area.

When you run out of time or end the quiz, you will see the current ring's correct answer at right (under 'Answer Stats' by your coordinates).

For example, if you choose 'Toulouse' - you will be shown a circle of radius 10 km centered at Toulouse. Naming the largest city in this circle (Toulouse in this case) will cause another 'ring' of radius 10 km to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the largest France 1K+ city in that ring (but not within any previous circles/rings). If a city is not within the next ring of that distance, the ring will keep expanding by that distance until a city falls within it. So if a city doesn't fall within 10-20 km, it will expand to be a 10-30 km ring, then 10-40 km and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

France 10K+ Cities Locator Timed Challenge

The object of this quiz is to click on 10K+ city locations as quickly and accurately as you can. You get 25 random French cities from among all French 10K+ cities. You will be scored based on Time, Distance, and Closest Cities. Closest Cities refers to how many cities (among ALL 1K+ cities, not just 10K+ ones) are located closer to the actual city's location than where you clicked. Upon clicking START you will see cities listed one at a time in the upper right on the side of the map. Double-click where that city is as fast and accurately as possible. You will then get a score of 0-100 based on those 3 factors. Also, up to 10 of the closest cities to the target city that you weren't within will be displayed. Click NEXT CITY to continue on.

NOTE – For cities with the same name, you are trying to click on the LARGEST city of that name.

For Premium members, this quiz is much easier to play on Google Maps full screen mode.

France 10K+ City Name Link Challenge

The object of this quiz is to pick a 10K+ city to start, then name successive French 10K+ cities such that the next city's first letter is the last letter of the current city and the next city is as close to the current city as possible. You MUST enter a '.' (period) at the end of the city name to submit it. Please note as well, you will in most cases need to write out the entire city name, shortened versions may not answer the city you are trying to guess.

For example, you start with 'Paris' - you are now trying to name a 10K+ city starting with 'S' (the last letter of 'Paris') which is closest to Paris. If you answer 'St Denis.' - now you are trying to name the closest city to St Denis which starts with a 'S' and so on.

The quiz ends at the 25th city from the starting one. You get 100 points for naming the closest city on each step, and they decline based on the distance your city was from the closest. You get 15 minutes to complete the quiz.

Note: City naming is more precise than in other quizzes, some simplified alternates may not be accepted.

France 1K+ City Name Link Challenge

The object of this quiz is to pick a city to start, then name successive French 1K+ cities such that the next city's first letter is the last letter of the current city and the next city is as close to the current city as possible. You MUST enter a '.' (period) at the end of the city name to submit it. Please note as well, you will in most cases need to write out the entire city name, shortened versions may not answer the city you are trying to guess.

For example, you start with 'Paris' - you are now trying to name a city starting with 'S' (the last letter of 'Paris') which is closest to Paris. If you answer 'St Denis.' - now you are trying to name the closest city to St Denis which starts with a 'S' and so on.

The quiz ends at the 25th city from the starting one. You get 100 points for naming the closest city on each step, and they decline based on the distance your city was from the closest. You get 15 minutes to complete the quiz.

Note: City naming is more precise than in other quizzes, some simplified alternates may not be accepted.

All 1K+ cities starting with the city you chose and moving outward will begin filling in until you've hit a total population equal to or greater than your chosen level's threshold. For example, if you choose 'int' - the threshold is 1,000,000. If you choose 'Strasbourg', then Strasbourg will fill in and because its population is under 1,000,000, successive cities moving outward from Strasbourg will fill in until the total population reaches at least 1,000,000. If you chose Paris, only Paris would fill in as its population already meets your threshold.

France 25 Km Expanding Circles Challenge – Choose City

First choose any France 1K city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the largest France 1K+ city in each 25km circle/ring as the rings expand outward from your city of choice. The first circle will include your city of choice as a possible answer if it is the largest city in that area.

When you run out of time or end the quiz, you will see the current ring’s correct answer at right (under ‘Answer Stats’ by your coordinates).

For example, if you choose ‘Paris’ – you will be shown a circle of radius 25km centered at Paris. Naming the largest 1K+ city in this circle (Paris in this case) will cause another ‘ring’ of radius 25km to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the largest France 1K+ city in that ring (but not within any previous circles/rings). If a 1K+ city is not within the next ring of that distance, the ring will keep expanding by that distance until a 1K+ city falls within it. So if a city doesn’t fall within 25-50km, it will expand to be a 25-75km ring, then 25-100km and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

The first 10 cities will be 100K+, the next 10 50-100K, next 10 25-50K and the balance (until you run out of time or guess wrong) will be 10-25K. When you guess wrong the correct location will be shown as a pink marker.

You do get a break if you are within 2 km of the city but in the wrong square – you will not get credit for the guess but will get another chance at that level.

The object of this quiz is to name to closest French 5K+ city to each purple marker that appears. When you begin the quiz you will be placed in a random location in France (might be over a body of water, but won't be over an ocean) which will be denoted by a purple marker. Name the closest 5K+ French city to this marker by typing in the city name followed by a '.' (period). You will then be given a score up to 100 (100 being the closest 5K+ city) based on how far away your city is in relation to how far away the closest one is. You get 25 cities for a maximum of 2500 points. If you name a city that has the same name as another possible answer, don't worry - the closest city of that name will be chosen.

France Grid Head To Head City Capture

This quiz is only available in Head-To-Head mode.

First, choose a difficulty by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv, or ‘exp’ – Beginner is 2 degrees, Intermediate 1 degree, Advanced 0.5 degrees, and Expert 0.25 degrees. Then, take turns entering the largest French city (min 1K population) in each grid square of the size based on your difficulty. Green squares contain answers. There will be a white (Player 1) and a black (Player 2) competitor - when you answer a square it will fill in with your color.

When you have a square with your color surrounded in all directions (north, south, east, west - whichever are available) by other squares also of your color, it becomes 'captured' and the city in that surrounded square has its population added to your score.

The player with the highest score at the end of the quiz wins.

So for example in this World quiz, Black has scored on Chicago (circled) and Anchorage, and white has scored on Madrid (circled) and Reykjavik.

hugequiz Premium members will see the top 25 missed cities at the end of the quiz as purple markers.

France Grid Path Challenge – All Cities

Choose a level by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv’, or ‘exp’ – beg level is 2 degree squares, int 1 degrees, adv 0.5 degree, and exp 0.25 degrees. Then, name any France 1K+ city to start with by entering it (cities with the same name will choose the largest city of that name first). The grid square you are starting in will turn yellow - you now must name any city in any one of the adjacent grid squares (not including diagonal) - so any grid square directly north, south, east or west of the yellow one. Naming a city in one of these squares will turn your original square red and the current newly named city square yellow - continue in the same way trying to make a path of as many squares as you can. You are not allowed to return to a red square, and if you get 'boxed in' with no squares left to complete the quiz will also end.

Be aware that as you name cities it will answer the largest city first, so if you are trying to answer a city in a square to the east but a larger city of that name occurs a square to the north, the north one will be answered.

Obviously, due to the layout and separation of squares it will be impossible to complete all of them.

hugequiz Premium members will see the largest missed city in each possible next square at the end of the quiz as purple markers.
