You begin with two Europe countries/US states shown in the grid. Upon starting, your job is to sort the countries/states in order from largest to smallest by max elevation (so countries/states with the highest max elevation first). The order is represented by the '1st' thru '16th' in each box. You can click on a country/state to move it to a higher position in the list - simply click once and it will turn red, then clicked another higher-ranked country/state to position the first country/state before it. Click submit to check your answers...if they are in order you will get a new country/state added to the end which needs to be positioned correctly, and so on until you either get one wrong or complete all 15 levels.
PLEASE NOTE: Only the portions of each country geographically in Europe are counted to determine the highest points. So no Asian portion of Turkey/Russia, African portion of Spain/Portugal, Greenland, etc.

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.
