The object of this quiz is to pick a 50K+ US city to start, then name successive 50K+ cities such that the next city's first letter is the last letter of the current city and the next city is as close to the current city as possible. You must name cities in the format 'City, State' with the state abbreviation following the city.
For example, you start with 'Chicago, IL' - you are now trying to name a city starting with 'O' (the last letter of 'Chicago') which is closest to Chicago. If you answer 'Omaha, NE' - now you are trying to name the closest city to Omaha which starts with a 'A' and so on.
The quiz ends at the 25th city from the starting one. You get 100 points for naming the closest city on each step, and they decline based on the distance your city was from the closest. You get 15 minutes to complete the quiz.
Doesn’t seem like this one is working anymore? I got a score of -153 after 5 cities guessed and the quiz didn’t end.
Odd – I just tried it and it worked fine.
Leesburg, VA is less than 50k, I believe. Not trying to be rude. It’s just that the instructions say that the cities we guess will be between 50k-100k.
Yeah maybe when I made the quiz it had an estimated pop of just over 50K.
I think this one is a bit extreme. Would it make sense to do a “mid-size” cities quiz for, say, the 100k-250k range, and a “large” cities quiz for 250k+?
Agreed. Very fun quiz, but I only knew where I was if I was lucky enough to come across a sign that gave the name of the city/town.
