How do I play this quiz?

Challenge yourself to China Cities Grid Identification Quiz and test your geography knowledge by locating cities, based on their centroid locations with randomly redrawn grid squares of decreasing sizes.

Do abbreviations or alternate spellings count?

Yes. Most quizzes allow common abbreviations, alternate spellings, and short forms. Try typing just the first few letters — if it matches, it will autofill.

China Cities Grid Identifier Challenge

Directions

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 10 degrees latitude by 10 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 2.5M+, the next 10 1-2.5M, next 10 500K-1M and the balance (until you run out of time or guess wrong) will be 250-500K. 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.

Many misplaced locations that are not located in the city centre. These are mostly fine except for some really unfortunate cases where the city is split in the middle
