Super fun! It doesn't handle duplicate cities very well, though. You can put the pin right on Charleston, WV and be barely within the circle to get minimum points for Charleston, SC (as an example)

Peoria seemed... weird.

I only knew of the Peoria in Illinois, so when I dragged the pin there and it didn't take, I wasn't sure what to do. I eventually ended up just dragging it all over the map randomly until I eventually got close enough that it was accepted.

My first thought was that it might be nice to indicate that it is, e.g. "Peoria, AZ" to differentiate it from "Peoria, IL." Although I totally understand why you would not want to do this. I'm not sure what a good solution is, though.

Although perhaps your take is just: "That's no different from you not knowing where a city is at all, and what you did is what I expect people to do." i.e.: "Yup. Working as intended."

If that's the case, then: fair! Just felt strange to me. At first I thought I'd done something to break the quiz.

Oh. This is a weird case. My rule was to always use the most populous city. The problem here is that Peoria Arizona is more populous but is far less known because it’s a suburb of Phoenix. Hmmm. I might change it to Illinois when I get a chance.

And yes, I did decide to never put the state since it kinda defeats the purpose of the quiz. I probably should have avoided either Peoria since they’re somewhat similar in size.

yes, on my first attempt I spent a good 3 mins putting my pin down in Peoria then just moving it around. I refreshed the quiz because I thought it was frozen

Studdog

So, can you update Peoria? Because While Arizona may be more popular, it is far less known. If you Google "Peoria" it defaults to Illinois, and the one in Arizona is just a suburb of Phoenix, which is itself a huge city. Or if you don't want to make it Illinois, I suggest removing it all together to avoid confusion.

Anything in southern Texas is hard to drop and pause before moving it into the U.S. I can't drag it in one swipe so have to stop and resume. When stopping with the point all the way at the bottom of the screen deep in Mexico it assumes that's where I want to put for example Brownsville and Laredo.

Same with Gainesville far east of Florida in the Atlantic Ocean.

I think I got the hang of it. I thought dropping it anywhere inside the U.S. would automatically register as an answer. Apparently I could swoop Laredo way up to Minnesota and be safe. It only registers within the broadest circle (as per the instructions).

Can you add states for some of the cities with multiple options? Certainly, Fayetteville, AR is well-known enough that people would try to put it there. I know I did. I thought something was wrong with the quiz and gave up. Aurora is another one I saw with two viable states. (Illinois and Colorado.)

Nitpick alert!

San Francisco is slightly in the ocean. This means that if you place in just a smidge to the east of its actual location- it’s in ‘close’ instead of ‘bullseye.’ Don’t expect you to change this awesome map but just letting it be known.

The pin only activates when you’re within a hundred miles or so from the answer. That way you can put the pin down safely. Unfortunately, that also means you have to just randomly move the pin around until you get at least the outer ring if you don’t know where a city is.
