Russia Cities 10×10 Blackout

Fill in the 100 squares with Russian cities based on the categories in the top row and the federal district given in the cell. For example, if you are looking at a cell with 'Siberian' in its row, and 'Starts With O' in the column, that cell can be filled in with 'Omsk.'

Federal districts are not official divisions but can be seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_districts_of_Russia
Breaking it down into the 80+ Federal States would've made the quiz too difficult.

Occasionally a cell may not have a qualifying answer, in which case it will appear blank and be a gimme.

hugequiz Premium members will see missed answers in red - they will be the largest city which qualified in each cell.

Russia Cities Grid Identifier Challenge

The object of this quiz is to double-click the grid square where cities are located (the centroid of the city is used). When you begin you will have a grid randomly placed with size 5 degrees latitude by 5 degrees longitude. You will be told which city to locate - simply double-click on that city's grid square and you will move on to the next city. Each time you go to a new city the squares are randomly redrawn and with a size 10% smaller. The first 10 cities will be 500K+, the next 10 250-500K, next 10 100-250K and the balance (until you run out of time or guess wrong) will be 50-100K. 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.

After the quiz is over you can click RESTART to retry it without refreshing the page.

Russia Cities Locator Streak Challenge

The object of this quiz is to locate as many of the top Russian cities in a row you can without going over the maximum allowable distance away. The max distance allowed is 10 km for 10K+ cities and 5 km otherwise. Double-click to locate each city in order of population. If you are under the max distance allowed you will move on to the next city. When you double-click farther away than the max distance allowed the quiz will end.

PLEASE NOTE - To identify a city, click on the 'downtown' area to avoid clicking on a suburb or outer edge of the city. The distance will generally be measured from close to the center of a city's 'downtown.'

You begin with 10 minutes (or 5 for non-Premium members) and get 10 seconds added every time you double-click to locate a city.

Russia Cities Triple Blackout

Fill in the 25 squares with 3 Russian cities based on the categories in the top row and the federal district given in the cell. For example, if you are looking at a cell with ‘Siberian’ in its row, and ‘Starts With O’ in the column, that cell can be filled in with ‘Omsk.’

Federal districts are not official divisions but can be seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_districts_of_Russia
Breaking it down into the 80+ Federal States would’ve made the quiz too difficult.

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.

Russia City Population Coverage

Choose a level. Then, begin naming cities. All 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 'beg' - the threshold is 5,000,000. If you choose 'Perm', then Perm will fill in and because its population is under 5,000,000, successive cities moving outward from Perm will fill in until the total population reaches at least 5,000,000. If you chose Moscow, only Moscow would fill in as its population already meets your threshold.

Russia 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 degree, Advanced 1 degree, and Expert 0.5 degrees. Then, take turns entering the largest Russian 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.

Russia Grid Path Challenge – All Cities

Choose a level to begin. Then, name any Russia 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.
