Europe 100 Km Coverage Challenge
DirectionsChoose any 10K+ European city, then continue naming 10K+ cities which are within 100km of any previously named city. Naming notes: many places have similar names. For example, “Brest” is not unique. To choose Brest, France, simply type “brestfr”, using the first two letters of the country name, or ‘uk’ for the UK (same as for Ukraine). Also, some answers require typing in other answers you may not want to guess. In this case, if you want to answer “Hamburg”, simply type it..”Ham, Belgium” will not be chosen. If you want simply “Ham” type ‘ham.’ with the period at the end. LASTLY, in a couple cases there are multiple places of the same name in a single country. Newcastle, UK is an example. To choose the largest Newcastle (typically the one you want), type ‘newcastleuk1’ – the rest are ‘newcastleuk2’ and so on (need the country too for any cases of multiple cities in one country, even if no other country has cities of that name). So basically, if the city isn’t coming up after you type the name, try adding a “.” after, or the country first two letters, or in some cases the country letters plus a number.
PLEASE NOTE: A wrong guess (a city not within 100km of a previous city) will end the game.
Quiz Takers 
Finally updated the data on this quiz (I’m not having it be live because it’s difficult to maintain with all the spelling issues for similarly-named cities). Let me know of any city-entry issues.
Typing “sa” even without a . gives a city in Germany. That’s likely to end the quiz if you don’t start there. Typing “lee” gives a city in the UK also without a .
Also, I believe that the current hiscore is unbeatable. When the data was updated live, there briefly was a city in Estonia that let you reach Finland and St Petersburg, but this is no longer possible
Fixed those – yeah over time the score limits will change but I’m not going to reset the leaderboard.
there should be . confirmation of guess, wanted to type polish city wroclawek yet it accepted obviously Wroclaw as wrong guess
It isn’t even listed as a city on citypopulation.de – perhaps it is a city-county or something according to the census?
It’s Włocławek not Wroclawek
It’s a bit annoying that it’s not identical to the easy version. Some cities that reach each other in the easy version don’t here, so some of the paths I had learned don’t work : (
i cant enter harrow (near london),uk though using harrow up the hill (full name) harrow, harrow., harrowuk, harrowuk1 or harrowupthehilluk1, answers?
It’s not in this quiz because it’s classified as a borough and not a built-up area which is what I use for UK cities.
hell nah, i just did 3 cities less than wr and now is premium only
Hi how does Kiel work northern city in Germany
“Kiel.”
How do I type Frankfurt am Main and Frankfurt an der Oder?
‘frankfurtge1’ for the biggest Frankfurt, ‘frankfurtge2’ for the 2nd biggest, and so on.
I love this one. Will nail it eventually.
Minor error – “Stone” is an accepted answer (ends quiz when trying to type Stonehaven)
fixed.
thanks!!
color scheme makes it hard.
hønefoss norway is 16k, not 102k. not sure where that came from
also, there is a city called “lillestrøm” west of oslo, almost 90k population, when the country is as sparcely populated as norway you need the smaller towns to work or you’re screwed
yes that’s the population I have it at. where are you seeing anything showing over 100k?
Wish there was a non-challenge version because gaming over sucks. Also, Kumanovo is over Prilep.
kumanovo is fixed.
Something wrong with Bern, Switzerland.
you need to type ‘bern.’ with the period.
There is something wrong with Prilep, North Macedonia. Seems to choose Skopje when typed.
fixed this.
Are areas like Trondheim and its two neighbouring cities, which can’t reach “mainland” Europe excluded from the 9414 Maximum?
no the maximum is actually the total number of cities regardless if they can be gotten.
Münster does not work. I typed Munster, Muenster, Münster (Westf.).
munsters are ‘munsterge1’, ‘munsterge2’, etc (1 being the largest population Munster)
Many cities don’t work, also many many times it counts me game over when I type cities well inside circles I’ve already got… So frustrating
please read the naming notes. also what cities are you naming within circles that are causing the quiz to end? remember these have to be 10k+ cities.
Its says came over for Stuttgart and Lisbon
are you answering those after they have been covered by a blue circle per the directions?
So how can i differentiate between Frankfurt an der Oder or Frankfurt am Main? Or other german cities with a river on the end?
frankfurtge1 is the largest frankfurt, frankfurtge2 second largest, etc
this one would be even better if there were different levels (beg / int / adv / exp) with different circle radii.
freezes after guessing second city
You can pick any starting position. Then you are only allowed to guess cities within 100km radius. Once you enter a city that is out of that radius, the game is over and your points are recorded – not freezed.
If you start at A and enter B (that is within a distance of 100km from A), you can also enter C, which is within 100km of either A or B. And so on.
Please make a 200km version (or an easy, medium, hard option) to make a more accessible approach to this very clever challenge
yes please!!!
Can’t get it to work. Tried ever possible variation of starting with London and nothing is happening.
“london.” with the period
Try “London.” The instructions explain it. There is also Londonderry so you need the “.” to distinguish them.
A 2nd city doesn’t work. And after the explanations seams like “try and error”: with “.” or without, with “fr” or without, or maybe “uk1”, “uk2” etc…? And “uk” stands for United Kinddom and Ukraine is the same… Now I have to guess: Switzerland is “ch” or “sw”? And Sweden is the same? Try and error. Have fun!
doesn’t work
Gryfino makes crash this page
working fine for me make sure you read directions and are entering a city already covered in blue
It does not except many cities like londonuk, or bonn i dont get it. lillefr does work, bonnge or londonuk does not
might need a period at the end instead per instructions, ie “london.”
Thanks, that solved it. Do you know if similar quizes exist but then a bit more forgiving. Now if I make one mistake I have to start all over again.
the regular coverage quizzes that aren’t challenges won’t end your quiz suddenly 🙂
Once it gave me a game over when I wrote ‘s Hertogenbosch. It was well within range. Same thing happened when I wrote King’s Lynn, again well within range. Either the game has some bugs, or I don’t understand the rules properly.
i just tried those and they worked – you need to name cities within a blue shaded location already, so if you name a city that isn’t already covered in a blue circle the game will end. so you are kind of making a ‘path’ of blue circles across the continent.
Yeah, that’s strange. Seems to work though if you go via Basel/Lörrach on the way.
