Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 5-degree grid, hard is a 2.5-degree grid. Then, try to name the LARGEST European city in each grid square which fits the category label for each square. To name a city, you must first click on the grid square to make it have a GREEN border. Then, type in the city answer for that square followed by a '.' (a period). You are given a score from 0 to 100 based on your answer's population compared to the largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the largest city).
LETTER: means the city starts with that letter.
NUMBER RANGE: (such as 2-5, 10+) means the city contains that many letters (excluding spaces and special characters).
POPULATION RANGE: (such as 50-100K) means the city has that range for its population.
2+ WORDS means the city name has 2 or more words (words denoted by a space or hyphen).
At the end of the quiz the largest population missed answer will show in each unanswered square, and for those answered the largest city will be listed if you didn't answer it.

idk if anything can be done about it but both Gothenburg and one of the Ruhr Cities (iirc) in Germany have a long tunnel within quiz range and sometimes you cant even make it out of the tunnel in the 2 minutes
Yeah can’t do anything about that sorry 🙁
I love this quiz! It does have some quirks, like ending up on board of a ship without being able to move in any direction (Belgrade), in the middle of a forest with no city in sight (Espoo), and starting off in a random demolished industrial backyard (literally every city in Ukraine – I really know Chernivtsi very well now by the way). Awesome! Would be really nice to have some kind of extended “detective version” of this game, including also smaller cities, but with way more time to complete it so that you don’t, at some time, just start typing random cities till the time runs out
Would it be possible to make this a 2 player game? Would love to get dropped in the same random cities as a friend on his/her computer and then compete!
no unfortunately not.
Fun quiz! Regarding Klinkhamer’s comment and your answer, darin, about the 1/4 mile, the definition of “near the center of European city” is a bit problematic. I wonder if the marker is in the geographic center, which may in some cases be miles away from the actual city center. I got what I looked like a dairy farm in Helsinki and it was all but impossible to get. They’re short on dairy farms in the center of the Finnish capital 😀
Also, how is almost every Russian “city center” basically an (often unpaved) village street? I haven’t visited so can’t comment on the accuracy.
Russian cities are not quite as modern haha. I will change the Helsinki coordinate so it’s more actual city center than possibly geographic.
Perfect, thanks! 🙂
Are these locations randomly picked by a generator or very cunning by you? Cause I just ended up in a Finnish forest. Well beats vacation in Holland. 🙂
they are chosen at random each time within about 1/4 mile of the actual city coordinates which I use for markers on map quizzes.
