Quiz

So you think you are good with geography? Test your skills in this quiz that challenges your knowledge and intuition about cities all over the world.

The rules are simple: you'll be shown a city name, and it's up to you to guess where it's located on the world map. The closer you are, the better! And don't worry if it's too easy or too hard: you can choose between three difficulty levels below.

This game also has a fun connection to physics: to determine the precise distance between two points on the world map, it displays the shortest geodesic between your guess and the correct answer and calculates the length of that geodesic.
