US Cities Locator Streak Challenge – Choose State
DirectionsFirst choose any state by entering its abbreviation – for example ‘CA’.
Then, the object of this quiz is to locate as many of the top US cities in that state in a row you can without going over the maximum allowable distance away. The max distance allowed is 10 miles for 500K+ cities, 5 miles for 50K+ cities and 2 miles otherwise. Double-click to locate each city in order of population. If you are under the max distance allowed you will move on to the next city. When you double-click farther away than the max distance allowed the quiz will end.
PLEASE NOTE – To identify a city, try to click in the middle of the city’s area, or the ‘downtown’ if the city is large enough to have one. The distance will generally be measured from close to the center of a city’s ‘downtown’ (if it has one) or geographic center otherwise.
You begin with 10 minutes (or 5 for non-Premium members) and get 5 seconds added every time you double-click to locate a city.
Quiz Takers
Could we possibly have more locator streak quizzes with this format? Such as countries of Europe or provinces of Canada? It’s a very good quiz.
Yeah will think about adding those.
The placement of Fernley NV is a little off to the south, just would be a nice fix 🙂
Yeah it’s the center of the whole area of Fernley, which is true for a good number of locations. Fernley is actually a pretty sizable area.
Is the Whitefish placement incorrect?
I adjusted it – occasionally the center of the full city area is not that close to where the actual city is.
These Dallas suburbs are tricky!
Good work and you’re welcome!
