Click Quiz: English Villages — Real or Fake?

Submitted by Hinckford on October 19, 2025
I thought I had posted this on the Message Board but it looks like I hadn't, so I shall share it now!...

This is a little quiz I made last month on guessing whether the place mentioned is genuine or just somewhere that I made up! There are 20 real villages and 10 fake ones, and the order changes each time you play.

This was quite an enjoyable quiz to make and I plan on doing another one or two!...

Genuine question here: how do your quizzes get so many takes? You haven't been making quizzes for too long and, no offense, but you don't have that big of a following. I don't mean to come across as rude, I'm just a bit curious.

If you're implying that they are cheating somehow, I looked at the stats for one of their quizzes and it seems legit.

Maybe they are promoting off-site.

If so, thank you!!

No no, just curious. Almost 2,000 in less than a month is impressive, I've rarely ever seen anything like it.

Yes, that's basically it!

I share pretty much all of my quizzes — almost all either football (⚽️) or English/U.K. geography — on a football forum that I am active on, and I also share quite a few on Reddit. I posted this one in particular on r/CasualUK and it got quite a few interactions, and 55,000+ views.

Some of the quizzes I've enjoyed making the most don't have as many takes as others I've uploaded, but with all of them it's quite a nice feeling to know that people have attempted them and I feel it gives the stats a bit more legitimacy when they've had a decent number of takes.

Wow! Thank you so much. I wish more users would do that.

I've given you six months of JetPunk Premium and subscribed to your account.

Oh wow, thank you! That is very much appreciated! I didn't expect that at all.

I got 17/30.

Only knew Cheddar. The rest were complete guesses.

Is this something an English person would know?

I knew at least half them, guessed some correctly, no idea on the rest.

I may be more knowledgeable than most Brits though, I spend most of my time in out of the way places delivering and collecting from farms at work.
