Thank you!

Great quiz and I did much worse than I thought I would. I guess I've had so much practice with capital quizzes but not enough with this type of quiz.

Level 82

Apr 18, 2021

How is this any different from this one you made? Except there's a map. I like this one better (in fact, both are great), but I see it as an update of the other one rather than a quiz of its own right..

Level 75

Apr 18, 2021

This one has more cities, every country, and a map. Honestly I was a bit surprised to see this quiz got featured, but I'm not complaining.

Level 75

Maps are good!

Bruges?

I believe Bruges has been misspelt as Brugges.

I did not know that Brugges was a misspelling. I'll fix that.

Got Montenegro as a bonus when I tried for Spain. Thanks to whomever founded the city of Bar.

Level 75

Apr 19, 2021

I wonder how many of the 81% that get Montenegro got it because of Barcelona. Caleb and I learned a lot of geography knowledge from placemats that we used at the dinner table, and we had one that was a map of Europe and I remember thinking that it was so funny that a city was named Bar.

Level 61

Apr 28, 2021

Lol I got that. Im so happy.

Level 45

Jun 14, 2021

Barcelona is definitely to blame for that huge Montenegro score. FML for choosing Sevilla instead.

Level 79

Jun 14, 2021

I did too! But I think Seville should also be accepted.

Level 71

Jun 14, 2021

Yep, I did the Barcelona thing too :)

Level 86

Oct 3, 2022

I like to say "I hit Bar on the way to Barcelona" because that makes it sound like I'm traveling a really cool route.

Level 72

Jun 14, 2021

Similarly got Malta as a bonus when typing in Mostar.

Level 67

Apr 7, 2022

Me too :)

So did I - both Bar and Mosta

Same. Lots of fun.

Level 77

i was going to say the stats for montenegro might be skewed by people getting bari for italy, and then i realised only i would think of bari first, and everyone would go for barcelona anyway; derp

Got mosta in malta as a bonus when typing mostar for bosnia, TY bosnia!

You should remove the asian russian cities (namely Novosibirsk and Omsk) and replace them by the next biggest european ones.

Level 79

Apr 23, 2021

They probably should, but I am guessing that 98% of people guess St Petersburg anyway.

Level 67

Apr 28, 2021

or Yekaterinburg

Level 75

Jun 14, 2021

Agreed. Great quiz anyway though.

Level 38

Apr 19, 2021

Too few answers for big countries. For Russia, for example, there are only 8 accepted answers, despite number of cities being much larger. To add an insult to injury, 3 of those accepted aren't even in Europe, while several cities in European part of Russia over a million people (yes, you read that right, a MILLION) aren't accepted, including, for example, Volgograd (also known historically as Stalingrad) and Ufa. Same, I'm sure, applies to some other big countries, but this is the most familiar example for me (and, I think, among the most glaring).

Level 54

Apr 19, 2021

You realize all you gotta do is type St. Petersburg right?

Level 75

Apr 19, 2021

If you want more answer choices, maybe you'd like this quiz better.

Level 61

Sep 3, 2023

What do you mean? It's just the eight biggest that aren't the capital. It doesn't matter how many people other cities have, only the eight biggest matter.

Level 80

Apr 19, 2021

It's BIJELO Polje, not Bjelo Polje. Also, you should accept Pec, Djakovica, Gnjilane, Mitrovica, Urosevac, Vucitrn and Podujevo.

Level 83

Apr 19, 2021

Also the definite forms of Albanian names should be accepted, with -a instead of -ë: Vlora, Peja etc.

Apr 19, 2021

I second that.

All of the problems outlined by buscfc93 have been fixed

Now I get why almost anyone got Montenegro... I guess I wasn't so smart choosing Valencia. Then again, I got Malta writing Mostar for Bosnia.

Apr 19, 2021

Nice quiz! I knew a few from my own similar quiz, but I couldn't get too many.

Level 71

Apr 19, 2021

Great quiz!

However, a few typos:

Estonia: Viljandi, not Vilijandi

Lithuania: Panevežys, not Penevezys

Level 75

Fixed

Level 67

No it isn't.

Still isn't.

A bit disappointing that we get just lazy anglicized names, simply ignoring the diacritics, not even Duesseldorf for example.

Level 75

Apr 19, 2021

All of the missing diacritics have been added now

It seems there are missing some municipalities for Iceland. Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður and Reykjanesbær are the three largest after Reykjavik and none of them is included.

Yes, I also tried those three and also arborg, none of which were accepted.

Aug 22, 2021

Because it doesnt have any other cities...

Its smaller than a town lol

Level 28

Schaerbeek and Anderlecht are two cities part of Brussels. The Brussels Capital-Region has 19 "cities" (borough), the city of Brussels being one of them. Generally speaking of Brussels, this means the Region and not the city. I would replace Schaerbeek and Anderlecht by two others cities. Source: trust me, I'm Belgian

Lucky! I got Malta and Montenegro when trying to type in other cities. I would've never gotten those two countries otherwise.

Very good quiz. This is one where it pays to like football, as there are many little clubs from places like Maribor and Cluj and such, that compete in UEFA competitions and otherwise would be unheard of.

For Croatia: Sesvete is not a city, but part of Zagreb, so you should put Velika Gorica instead, which is city proper.

Level 67

Apr 7, 2022

There are more than 8 cities in the UK that are bigger that Belfast and Cardiff. Will be the same for Pskov which I believe is tiny by Russian standards. Not sure why Seville not accepted, must only be accepting Sevilla?
