Canada 100 Km Expanding Circles Challenge – Choose City

First choose any Canada city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the largest Canada city in each 100 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 'Toronto' - you will be shown a circle of radius 100 km centered at Toronto. Naming the largest city in this circle (Toronto in this case) will cause another 'ring' of radius 100 km to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the largest Canada 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 100-200 km, it will expand to be a 100-300 km ring, then 100-400 km and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

Canada Cities Top 3 Blackout

Fill in the 25 squares with the top three (in terms of population - less if fewer than 3 qualify) Canada cities based on the categories in the top row and the geographical location given in the cell. For example, if you are looking at a cell with ‘Ontario’ in its row, and ‘Starts With H’ in the column, that cell can be filled in with ‘Hamilton’ as it's one of the 3 largest cities which qualify. When a cell is completed it fills in green.

Occasionally a cell may not have any qualifying answer, in which case it will be filled in bright green and be a gimme. Cells with two answers left will have a very dark green background, those with one answer left more of an evergreen shade, and finally bright green for those which have been completed. Some cells with only 1 or 2 valid answers will start with a green shade corresponding to how many answers are left.

hugequiz Premium members will see missed answers in red - they will be the largest city which qualified in each cell - only one miss will be shown per incomplete cell.

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

First, choose a difficulty by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv, or ‘exp’ – Beginner is 10 degrees, Intermediate 5 degrees, Advanced 2.5 degrees, and Expert 1 degree. Then, take turns entering the largest Canadian city 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.

North America 100 Km Expanding Circles Top 3 Challenge – Choose City

First choose any North American 10K+ city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the 3 largest North America cities in each 100 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 among the 3 largest in that area. As you enter cities you will see their rank within the current ring (1st, 2nd or 3rd largest) above their marker.

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 'Chicago' - you will be shown a circle of radius 100 km centered at Chicago. Naming all of the 3 largest 10K+ cities in this circle (Chicago in this case is one) will cause another 'ring' of radius 100 km to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the 3 largest North America cities 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 at least 1 city falls within it. So if a city doesn't fall within 100-200 km, it will expand to be a 100-300 km ring, then 100-400 km and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

US 100K+ Cities Direction Challenge

The object of this quiz is to name (see NAMING NOTE below) as many US 100K+ cities as possible starting from the position you choose without skipping cities moving in the opposite direction. For example, if you choose 'S' you 'start' at extreme southern US to begin you are aiming to name the most southern US 100K+ city, then the 2nd most southern, and so on as you move north. Naming correct cities increases the population counter - the object is to get the highest total population among all cities you name. However, once you move in a direction you can't name cities already passed by (i.e. covered in the blue shaded region).

NAMING NOTE: You must end each city name with a period - i.e. 'Dallas.' - this prevents naming a city whose name is a partial name of the city you want to answer. If you name a city that has multiple answers, only the closest upcoming one will be answered for you, so you won't name the farther away city from the one you are trying to guess.

You don't start with a ton of time, however there is a 30 second time bonus for naming the next city in order, and a 15 second bonus for naming the 2nd or 3rd next city in order. So if you name well you can accumulate a lot of extra time.

hugequiz Premium members will see up to the largest 25 cities missed when the quiz ends - they will be pink markers you can mouseover to see city details.

US 25 Mile Expanding Circles Challenge – Choose City

First choose any US city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the largest US city in each 25 mile 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 'Chicago, IL' - you will be shown a circle of radius 25 miles centered at Chicago. Naming the largest city in this circle (Chicago in this case) will cause another 'ring' of radius 25 miles to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the largest US 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 25-50 miles, it will expand to be a 25-75 mile ring, then 25-100 mile and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

US 25 Mile Expanding Circles Largest City Challenge – Choose City

First choose any US city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name any US city in each 25 mile circle/ring as the rings expand outward from your city of choice, trying to name the LARGEST CITY in each circle. The first circle will include your city of choice as a possible answer.

PLEASE NOTE - You must type a '.' (period) after each city to submit it to prevent answering another city with a name you would be have to type to get your answer - for example 'Jackson' would be answered trying to type 'Jacksonville.' If multiple cities have the name you submitted, only the largest one will be counted.

You accumulate points based on the population of the city you named in relation to the largest city in the circle. Naming the largest city will get you 100 points. A smaller city's point total will be the ratio of its population to the largest, so if you name a city of 75K people and the largest city has 100K, you get 75 points.

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

For example, if you choose ‘Chicago’ – you will be shown a circle of radius 25 miles centered at Chicago. Naming any city in this circle (including Chicago) will cause another ‘ring’ of radius 25 miles to appear outside that circle, however - you will want to try naming the LARGEST city you can to get more points (Chicago therefore will yield 100 points). After completing that circle, you now need to name any US city in the new ring (but not within any previous circles/rings), again trying to name as large a city as possible. 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 25-50 miles, it will expand to be a 25-75 mile ring, then 25-100 miles and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

US 5 Mile Expanding Circles Challenge By State – Choose City

First choose any US city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the largest US city in each 5 mile circle/ring IN THE SAME STATE 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 'Chicago, IL' - you will be shown a circle of radius 5 miles centered at Chicago. Naming the largest Illinois city in this circle (Chicago in this case) will cause another 'ring' of radius 5 miles to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the largest US city also in Illinois in that ring (but not within any previous circles/rings). If an Illinois city is not within the next ring of that distance, the ring will keep expanding by that distance until a IL city falls within it. So if a city doesn't fall within 5-10 miles, it will expand to be a 5-15 mile ring, then 5-20 mile and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

US Expanding Circles Challenge – Your Location

First choose a level by typing '5.', '10', '25' or '50' (need to add the '.' with 5 so you can type 50 without choosing '5') - then name the largest city in the circle/ring of that distance range as the rings expand outward from your location. You need to have your browser's location function working or the quiz will not load.

You MUST have a city within the initial distance you choose for your level - so this quiz will not work if you are not within the US (or at least not within your level's distance of a US city).

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 '10' - you will be shown a circle of radius 10 miles centered at your location. Naming the largest city in this circle will cause another 'ring' of radius 10 to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the largest 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 20-30 miles (assuming your level is 10 miles), it will expand to be a 20-40 mile ring, then 20-50 mile and so on until a city is found within the ring.

US 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 5 degrees, Intermediate 2.5 degrees, Advanced 1 degrees, and Expert 0.5 degrees. Then, take turns entering the largest city 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.
