Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 15-degree grid, hard is a 10-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).
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.

any way you could have the Gulf Of Mexico named the way 99% of the world’s countries name it?
It’s built-in to Google Maps, I can’t do anything 🙁
Hey why cant i play? I type „int“ into the search bar but the game doesn’t start. Anything I‘m doing wrong? I use an iPad
Working fine for me, you should see the map when you start before you type in your level of choice. Try refreshing.
Really would’ve though Campo Grande, Matto Grosso Do Sul, Brazil would have 1mil+ pop since the city proper is so close
trivandrum (thiruvananthapuram) isnt showing up for me although it should be over 1 mil
not listed on my source:

What website or statistics is this based on, I live in Gothenburg and I know the metro area is 1M+ but here it doesn’t show up.
I saw the link now and realized that an agglomeration is the same as an urban area, not really familiar with the term.
yeah there isn’t really a true definition across all countries of what an urban area is, it varies.
I can’t seem to get Syria on advanced. Aleppo and Damascus work, but none of Homs, Hamah, Latakia, or Raqqah work and it’s not listed as completed yet
Looks like I got it I just missed the message since Damascus also completes Lebanon.
I cannot get Turkey no matter what. I’ve even run down a list of the top 10 largest cities and I get through Mersin and Kayseri but never get a flag for completing Turkey
maybe missing Diyarbakir
is there any way of seeing the cities i missed
only if you are a premium member
There’s a city in argentina that seems impossible to get. I have 610/611.
edit: i’m stupid
it’s ok these quizzes make me feel stupid a lot too and I make them 🙂
Not sure what’s going on with the U.S. here. How does Harrisburg, PA count as over 1 million and, say, Ft. Worth and Albuquerque don’t?
guess it depends on how an agglo is defined.

pretty sure there is a bug. I went through every single city in the united states from that website’s list and it still doesn’t complete the US. I thought I was missing something but no, literally just sorting by country and then going down every single one it still doesn’t complete the US.
You’re missing one in a US territory.
Fort Worth suffers from the same issue as Baltimore and St. Petersburg. Doesn’t mean they can’t be answers for their metro area (Metroplex, US Capital, Gulf Coast Bay Area), though.
