US 50K+ Cities Locator Timed Challenge

Directions

The object of this quiz is to click on 50K+ city locations as quickly and accurately as you can. You get 25 random US cities from among all US 50K+ cities. You will be scored based on Time, Distance, and Closest Cities. Closest Cities refers to how many cities (among ALL cities, not just 50K+ ones) are located closer to the actual city’s location than where you clicked. Upon clicking START you will see cities listed one at a time in the upper right on the side of the map. Double-click where that city is as fast and accurately as possible. You will then get a score of 0-100 based on those 3 factors. Also, up to 10 of the closest cities to the target city that you weren’t within will be displayed. Click NEXT CITY to continue on.

NOTE – For cities with the same name, you are trying to click on the LARGEST city of that name.

For Premium members, this quiz is much easier to play on Google Maps full screen mode.
