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 50K+ cities in each square IN ORDER. 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).
The squares will start with '0/5' (or maybe fewer cities if less exist in that square). Click on a square and enter the largest city in that square not yet answered (so, the largest city if you have yet to answer a city in that square). You will then have '1/5' and need to click on that square to name the 2nd largest city, and so on until you complete all the cities up to 5 (or less if less exist). If you name an incorrect city in a square it becomes 'locked' and turns red and you can no longer accumulate cities in that square.
You receive 1 point for the largest city in a square, 2 for the 2nd largest, and so on.
At the end of the quiz the largest remaining city you haven't named will be shown in each square.
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.
