US Random Grid Path Challenge – All Cities
DirectionsChoose a level by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv’, or ‘exp’ – beg level is 5 degree squares, int 2.5 degrees, adv 1 degree, and exp 0.5 degrees. A randomly placed grid of that size will then be placed on the map. Then, name any US city to start with by entering it (cities with the same name will choose the largest city of that name first). The grid square you are starting in will turn yellow – you now must name any city in any one of the adjacent grid squares (not including diagonal) – so any grid square directly north, south, east or west of the yellow one. Naming a city in one of these squares will turn your original square red and the current newly named city square yellow – continue in the same way trying to make a path of as many squares as you can. You are not allowed to return to a red square, and if you get ‘boxed in’ with no squares left to complete the quiz will also end.
Please note, as you name cities it will answer the largest city first, so if you are trying to answer a city in a square to the east but a larger city of that name occurs a square to the north, the north one will be answered.
Obviously, due to the layout and separation of squares it will be impossible to complete all of them.
hugequiz Premium members will see the largest missed city in each possible next square at the end of the quiz as purple markers.
I get 3 down and it just wont let me progress.
Working fine for me – what are the first three you tried and on what level? You need to have a clear path to proceed to keep moving.
Don’t know if it is possible to do – but it would be nice to include the “end city name with a period” system you (used to?) use on some games. I got caught twice trying to use “Jacksonville”, but having cities named “Jackson” appear in different squares.
Especially on the first cell. It’s possible some cells with very few US municipalities might even be impossible to start from, despite being contiguous, if every city is occluded by some other city with the same or a shorter name.
For example, I wanted to start with Lynden, WA, in a very thin strip of northern Washington, but instead I got to start with Lynd, MN.
