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 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).
AK and HI are NOT included in this quiz as they often have grid squares with only one answer for this quiz.
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.
Having problems with some of the smaller towns in Alaska (Toksook Bay, Stebbins, Mountain Village to name a few) – the image never loads and just keeps the black start screen or the previous round. This appears to be because there’s no street view coverage in the town. Have to enter “next” to move onwards and see the answer.
Is there a reason I sometimes get negative points? Lol
I did better than I thought I would!
This was a way fun quiz, but I was having problems in Firefox. I got one right and then the picture never updated again so I was only able to get 11 in. I was actually just thinking I wished a quiz like this existing then I came here and it did and it was better than I was imagining!
I’ll see if I can recreate the issue… had no complaints previously. Has this happened multiple times?
I have played a little more and now I understand how it works. You get 5 cities to guess and at the end of the 5, the game is over. The first time I played I got 11 cities (11/5) and it would keep switching cities but my score would not go up when I guessed them. That’s what threw me off. Another time, the timer kept going after the five cities and I knew what city it was but it didn’t accept my guess. I haven’t had this happen since that first day that I played so I think it’s fine. Thanks so much for this site!
i got a location 2 blocks form where i used to live and i still didnt get it. ive also gotten havre almost every time and i never get it even though im very familiar with it
Woo, number 1 in Oregon as of right now, this is fun
game really glitching out whenever I type “mi” changes the location, timer breaks, and game overall stops functioning
I’m not seeing this at all. I can type mi right away to choose Michigan and type it in as an answer and nothing happens
It’s a lot of fun wandering these streets. As a fan of craft beer, I love when I stumble upon a small town brewery I’ve never heard of.
Darin, this quiz is fun as hell. I would love a version where there were more cities/turns so that I could keep playing for a longer period of time, maybe a regional version i.e. Cities of 25K+ in WA/OR/ID or something along those lines. Otherwise, damn man I love this.
*golf clap* First city I get for my home State?
My hometown! Thanks, Darin! That’s 25 Cool Person Points to you!
Amazing I got my hometown too, first city! About 5 minutes from the house I grew up in. Fun stuff.
