I’m a sucker for online quizzes like this. Here is another quiz that shows only the grid outlines of particular cities. This isn’t just about knowing a city, but also identifying regional and urban patterns. What are some other fun trivia quizzes? GeoGuessr is one of the more addictive quizzes where 5 locations in GoogleMaps “StreetView” are shown and you have to guess where. Smarty Pins is a fun game on Google Maps that tests players’ geography and trivia skills. In this Starbucks game you have to recognized the shape of the city, major street patterns and the economic patterns just to name a few (this is one way to make the urban model more relevant). If you want quizzes with more direct applicability in the classroom, click here for online regional quizzes.
