Similar to other quizzes, I have to type the first city twice in order for it to register. First time starts the quiz, second time adds the circle to the map and registers all the cities in the stats.
Also, typing Cologne and then Bonn ends the quiz, even though the latter city is well within the 100km radius of the former.
Typing Ham gives me Ham in Belgium before I can type Hamburg
The coordinates for Prilep, North Macedonia seem to be wrong. currently this is placed close to Skopje.
fixing.
Is it possible to make the largest cities appear on top?
there ya go – may have to refresh quiz.
Either it’s not working for me, or we’re not talking about the same thing. For example Paris is still covered by 10-100k cities. What I mean is that Paris’ marker should be completely visible, because it’s the largest city in its neighbourhood. And the same hierarchy for rest of the cities.
yeah that’s what I changed…try reloading the page and holding the ctrl key while reloading..it will load the newest version of the quiz.
first of this type of quiz updated to Google version – let me know of any issues before.
Can you change this map so that it’s zoomable? It’s really tricky to tell where some of the circles end/begin currently…
Darinh,
You said you’d have a look at this quiz last month but haven’t gotten around to it. I’d appreciate it if you could have a look. It’s one of my favorite games but I can’t progress on it (and no one will be able to surpass my score) if the 6,000 city limit isn’t fixed. This game has really improved my ability to assign cities to a specific location rather than a vague area like ‘London metro’ or ‘heel of Italy.’
Summary of issues:
1. Game locks up at 6,000 cities.
2. FreiburgGE1 location verification works fine but produces a circle centered on FreiburgGE2 (FreiburgGE1 = Freiburg im Breisgau, FreiburgGE2 = Freiburg am Neckar).
3. FreiburgGE2 does not work.
4. Vilanova triggers Vilanova i la Geltru before the larger Vila Nova de Gaia.
5. Castrop triggers Castro, Spain before Castrop, Germany.
ill fix these tonight…forgot about this. can’t promise the 6000 thing is fixable, there is nothing that should be causing that…You may need to try a different browser or something for this quiz..
these should all be fixed now, figured out the 6000 issue too.
Aiming for Vila Nova de Gaia PT triggers Vilanova i la Geltru SP.
For Vila Nova de Gaia use Gaia only.
i’ll take a look at these issues sometime today.
Regarding Freiburg I believe the problem is this: When checking to make sure the city is within existing circles it looks for the big Freiburg, Freiburg im Breisgau, near Switzerland. When placing it on the map it uses the coordinates for Freiburg am Neckar, near Stuttgart. Both are in Baden-Württemburg. FreiburgGE2 does not work, only FreiburgGE1.
The game dies once you hit 6,000. This has happened twice to me at 6001 and 6008. Last time it killed my game immediately and saved the score, but this time flash locked up and once it was back it wouldn’t accept answers or even “alldone.”
There seems to be something wrong with Freiburg, Germany. Try entering Belfort, France and then FreiburgGE1. You get two circles that don’t intersect at all.
Yeah, that’s strange. Seems to work though if you go via Basel/Lörrach on the way.
Frankfurt doesn’t seem to be recognised – am I missing something?
multiple frankfurt’s in germany – read the notes, you need ‘frankfurtge1’
This is a fantastic quiz! Fiendishly tough though. Would love if this had a variable difficulty level like the other “circle” quizzes (e.g., 100km, 250km, 500km, 1000km).
Bug: The game ended prematurely for me. I guessed Naples, which was within the circle for Cassino. Circle #310; ended on 6001 cities

I tried to guess Castrop, Germany but the game recognized Castro, Spain first.
