You're probably gonna hate me😆 and I don't know if this is really necessary*, but... any chance we can accept Gqeberha as a type-in for Port Elizabeth?

*(I mean: really, anyone who's going to try Gqeberha is also going to know, and also try, PE anyway. So yeah.)

Great quiz! This is more interesting than the one I made for the US, I think. Nicer geographic distribution of cities. For the US, way too many of the biggest ones just pile up on the coasts leaving nothing in the center to guess.

Nice quiz, great creativity! I have two extra suggestions which I believe many would enjoy:

1) Perhaps a version for cities with a minimum population of at least 100,000 people would be nice. I say this because most people don't even know places with a population of 1000 or 10000 in their own countries. Guessing cities with a population of 100,000 or more should be challenging enough and there will be no need to memorise the name of places with a population of 1000. This suggestion is for all your quizzes on different continents.

2) Can you also make one for the entire world (perhaps also considering my suggestion above)?

Hope you like these ideas, cheers!

Thanks for the suggestions! I see that the smallest cities was difficult. I am currently working with a quiz with all continents, with a population over 100,000.
