Another amazing addition to the series. I loved this one more maybe because it was tougher and I didn't get all. This whole series deserves to be featured

Glad you enjoyed it, I try and add places to each of these that are tricky (or at least interesting). I'm not expecting any of these to get featured due to how niche they are, but I'm perfectly okay with that too.

It seems you swapped Juneau and Anchorage in the biggest cities list. Great quiz nontheless!

Great Quiz, btw Everything seems to be written in English except Barrow. Why?

Utqiagvik has been the official name since 2016, so I was going to go with that until I was implementing type-ins. Only Barrow still has official type-ins avaliable, so I kept it assuming that is the "Jetpunk name" for the town. Both names will work though.

Great, I learnt something new today. Thanks Jiaozira

If Utqiagvik is too hard to spell, 'UTIDONTKNOWWHATTOPUTHEREVIK' (read that closely) is accepted as a type-in ;)

@DodomaAstatine that's usually my go to for when I type it in, because spelling is hard.

Yay, I was waiting for this one! Great choices for the features (though I probably would've added a few more from the panhandle region myself). 14/15, a much better result than the other ones.

I decided against adding more islands on the Alaska Panhandle, as none stood out to me (although I did add two Aleutian Islands and all). I try and keep it a somewhat tricky/knowledge based series, so I'm glad to hear you scored well on this one :)

Excellent quiz! 13/15, because of visiting Alaska last year. Also, I appreciate the extra info in the answer stats.

I'm trying to add some interesting info where I can. This series is inspired on a boyhood wonder, of looking at names and places on a map and wondering what lay there. I want to capture that to a degree in these quizzes, so I'm glad people are reading that extra info too.

The fact that alaska itself is yellow makes it hard to see what islands you want.

I agree it is a little hard to spot one, but zooming in on the map should be enough help (although I'm bound to be a little biased as the quiz maker).

Fun fact: Talk about sparsely populated places, Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, despite being 147, 805 mi2, and Germany being 10,000 square miles smaller, Germany has 83.02 million people, while Yukon-Koyukuk has only 5,337. Yes, that's right. Five thousand three hundred thirty-seven.

That is interesting, when you go north the unpopulated areas are simply mind-numbingly huge in comparison to just about anywhere else in the world.

Yep, it's all just concentrated in ~5-10 cities when you go that far north.

Maybe you could mark the route to Nome and put it under the heading "event" ?!

I'm really tempted to pick up this series again starting with countries, but I may find the series venture back to another US state quiz at some point. I'm more likely to do a smaller state, however, like Washington.

Unfortunately no :(

It is still included on the map, albeit in grey.

One point in an otherwise really nicely presented quiz - I assumed the grey islands were ones you DID require answers for.
