US Closest 50K+ City Random Location Challenge

The object of this quiz is to name to closest US 50K+ city to each purple marker that appears. When you begin the quiz you will be placed in a random location in the 48 contiguous states (might be over a body of water, but won't be over an ocean) which will be denoted by a purple marker. Name the closest 50K+ US city to this marker by typing in the city name followed by a '.' (period). You will then be given a score up to 100 (100 being the closest 50K+ city) based on how far away your city is in relation to how far away the closest one is. You get 25 cities for a maximum of 2500 points. If you name a city that has the same name as another possible answer, don't worry - the closest city of that name will be chosen.

US City Grid 2nd Largest City Challenge

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 SECOND LARGEST city in each grid 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 2nd largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the 2nd largest city). If you guess the largest city it will be based on the ratio of the 2nd largest city's population to the largest.

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 2nd largest city will show in each unanswered square, and for those answered the 2nd largest city will be listed next to your score if you didn't answer it.

It would be helpful if the “missed” result here would be the cities of the highest population throughout the US that you missed. As it is now, it is only showing missed cities in AK.

A bit of an oddity here — playing this in Edge, I can’t see the population counter and percentage, although I can see the number of cities guessed and timer.

it’s a hamlet – those aren’t included on my all places quizzes.

That’s really strange to me. I typed in a place I know is a hamlet in New York and it gave it to me. (Kaser)

Rockland county only has five towns, which are Orangetown, Clarkstown, Ramapo, Haverstraw, and Stony Point. All the other places are considered hamlets.

Does this mean that Fort Montgomery is only not there because it is unincorporated? Can you please clarify it more?

Does the population of city #11633 include Captain James Tiberius Kirk?

Thanks for getting this quiz up! I will miss the additional categories from the old version (how many of the top cities I’d gotten by state was something I liked to challenge myself with) but just having it back is awesome 😀 . Membership officially being bought shortly, as promised!

Yeah, I agree. I miss having each state have its own category. For example, if I know a bunch of cities in Idaho and wanted to tackle that state, it would be much easier if Idaho had it’s own tab versus having to search through many pages looking for a possible Idaho city that you missed.
