Every 1K+ pop city/town/etc within a certain radius will fill in (determined by difficulty). After completing the quiz, begin the Sporcle quiz, entering red codes from the Flash quiz. SEE NOTES
Also try: Ultimate US City Coverage ★ Google Maps ★
NOTES: **QUIZ MAY TAKE 10+ SECONDS FOR CITIES TO FILL IN EARLY ON WITH AN EASIER LEVEL IF YOU GUESS A COMMON CITY NAME** This is a *huge* US Coverage quiz with more cities (all 1K+ ones) than my previous ones. It *MAY* get slow if you start zooming/moving around the map a bit unless you have a relatively new, fast processor. Also may take time to calculate all the cities on the easier levels if you enter a city with many answers early on. Enter answers in LOWER CASE and WITHOUT PUNCTUATION. You DO NOT have to complete the quiz - it is difficult and you will get codes along the way for getting cities, largest cities, states completed, and cities within regions. ZOOMING TIP: Hold SHIFT key if zooming with the mouse wheel as this prevents the page from scrolling at the same time. The table bottom left shows the top # of cities in a row you have for each state..ie if you have the 2nd to 4th largest but not 1st nothing will show, but if you get the largest a 4 will show signifying you have the 4 largest cities...this goes up to 100. Quiz MAY LAG slightly early on or for city names with multiple answers and many results, not more than a couple seconds. Cities, towns, villages, boroughs included - NO TOWNSHIPS EXCEPT NJ AND MI CHARTER TOWNSHIPS, also NO NY TOWNS (they are different than towns in other states), and no CDP's except Hawaii. If you complete the quiz (get all 12,327 1K+ cities) you will get an extra code as well. All city counting, state, and region achievements count for easier level answers, time achievements count for some of those from easier levels.

	Ok - an even more insane US coverage quiz, with all 12,311 1K+ places. This may very well be slow for scrolling/zooming on older machines, and some answers may take a number of seconds to fill in, again depending on your machine. But a ton of categories so hopefully will really kill your productivity at work :)

	mcomisky:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 00:32 GMT		1 point
	I really enjoyed the quiz; however, it was really slow in the beginning. The first few cities all took 5-10 seconds to load. Towards the end they were faster, only taking about 2 seconds.

	darinh:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 00:38 GMT		3 points
	i think i can hopefully speed up the code a little, will try doing that tomorrow.

	redsxfenway:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 00:46 GMT		3 points
	On beginner the code for all the top 25 cities registers as 40 states.

	darinh:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 01:08 GMT		3 points
	@red: fixed, thx.

	TheCavsfan:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 01:45 GMT		3 points
	This was an excellent quiz.

	newenglander:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 02:40 GMT		1 point
	I'm not sure what you mean in the game note about the states' top cities being the top number of cities in a row we've guessed for each state. Can you clarify that?

	quizzle:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 04:57 GMT		4 points
	i'm addicted to your games! and apparently i need to brush up on my pennsylvania cities!

	arb78:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 05:32 GMT		4 points
	Just as I recovered from my addiction to the 5,000+ map coverage quiz...this comes along! At least now it's not finals week anymore.

	dgrogan:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 12:42 GMT		1 point
	I was missing a city near big bend park in texas but TX was not on the remaining states list. I think the city was presidio but am not certain.

	darinh:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 16:20 GMT		1 point
	made the quiz maybe slightly faster, will try to improve it more tonight maybe. @dgrogan: fixed the TX issue.

	Ovamiat:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 16:54 GMT		2 points
	Darin, there are many more than 11 cities in Alaska with populations over 1,000. Nome and Barrow both have populations over 3,000, for example. In fact, I'd be surprised if by the next census, Alaska DIDN'T have at least 12 cities above 5,000, as two are in the mid-4,000's!

	Cryptus:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 17:22 GMT		1 point
	I completed the quiz, but got no credit for the 'Beginner 48 Top 25 Cities' category. Other than that, phenomenal quiz, as is now the usual!

	darinh:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 17:47 GMT		2 points
	@Ovamiat: ahh whoops forgot to include the 1K-5K AK cities - they are there now. Thanks. @Cryptus: it should be working, 9.3% have gotten that category so the code is working correctly.

	SomeoneRandom:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 20:06 GMT		1 point
	Something strange happened. Before I rated this quiz, the average rating was 4.92. I gave it five globes, so the average rating should have gone up, or at least stayed the same. Instead, it went down to 4.88. How is this possible?

	Dralcoffin:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 20:32 GMT		7 points
	First guess: types Washington. Internet explodes.

	montylaw:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 23:33 GMT		1 point
	Is there any way to Pause this quiz?

	darinh:	Jun 4th, 2012 at 01:20 GMT		1 point
	@monty: no.

	kcostell:	Jun 4th, 2012 at 04:03 GMT		15 points
	For the morbidly curious: On beginner mode, here's how much you can get from various first guesses: Clinton: 5603/2 (5603 towns, 2 states) Franklin: 5204/5 Madison: 4959/2 Washington: 4816/5 Springfield: 4608/3 Salem: 4036/4 Entering all six of the above names would get you 8997 cities and 12 states entirely finished, but wouldn't get you a single town in California.

	darinh:	Jun 4th, 2012 at 12:45 GMT		1 point
	fyi i played this on my work computer, a quad core quite fast machine, and it is about 3-4 times faster with smooth scrolling than my home machine which is about 2 years old...so if you need an excuse to upgrade your machine...

	pdunning:	Jun 4th, 2012 at 18:46 GMT		-3 points
	There seem to be some bugs. E.g. miami doesn't change the total for Florida. California was showing 1 city for the total when I'd done Sacramento, LA and San Francisco.

	darinh:	Jun 4th, 2012 at 18:58 GMT		2 points
	@pdunning: read the NOTES please - the number isn't the number completed, it is the top N in a row you have from that state, starting with the largest city.

	Ovamiat:	Jun 4th, 2012 at 20:23 GMT		1 point
	...and the damn thing crashes when I'm FORTY cities away and I had just figured out the last few cities in Hawaii!

	save_ferris15:	Jun 4th, 2012 at 20:38 GMT		2 points
	Entered Oakland and got 1/4 of them correct.

	JLKeip:	Jun 5th, 2012 at 00:56 GMT		2 points
	I hope these are not as time consuming to make as they appear because I really like them. Thanks mucj Darin.

	darinh:	Jun 5th, 2012 at 03:56 GMT		1 point
	not very, once you make one its just a matter of adding data for more cities and making new categories, about 20 min for this quiz maybe...i have some templates to make things faster.

	kcostell:	Jun 5th, 2012 at 07:06 GMT		8 points
	I have no idea if this is even tenable in terms of slowness on older machines, but one thing which would be nifty is to have an option to reverse the placement of pins on the map. Start with all 12,327 pins showing, and then every time you get a town remove it's pin. The idea would be to make it easier to see near the end just what little corner of California you still have left to fill in, instead of having to squint at all the circles trying to find the missing spot.

	szillmer:	Jun 6th, 2012 at 22:00 GMT		3 points
	There's a single place in AK that is eluding me from completing this thing.

	Pengwn:	Jun 6th, 2012 at 23:03 GMT		4 points
	darinh, allow me to complement you on a fantastic addition to the best quiz series on Sporcle! So much for sleeping tonight . . . ;)

	Pogues:	Jun 7th, 2012 at 13:46 GMT		1 point
	I had what appeared to be all of NY covered, and it was still saying 75. It's very difficult to see where you are missing something. It's a fun quiz, just not the easiest to complete.

Comment below threshold: show it

	darinh:	Jun 8th, 2012 at 19:19 GMT		7 points
	@js: i remember when sporcle had people who didn't make quizzes and just trolled comment sections...oh, wait...

	pita:	Jun 9th, 2012 at 22:22 GMT		1 point
	@SomeoneRandom, maybe someone else gave it a lower rating at the same time you gave your higher rating? Or maybe you hit 4 by accident instead of 5.

	ElleWoods88:	Jun 28th, 2012 at 17:25 GMT		1 point
	Is there any browser that you would recommend for this? It keeps shutting me down before I get ten minutes in.

	darinh:	Jun 28th, 2012 at 19:02 GMT		2 points
	@Elle: i recommend Chrome, for this and anything else.

	Dralcoffin:	Jul 13th, 2012 at 22:38 GMT		3 points
	Alaska is such a joy on this quiz.

	RJinSC:	Jul 22nd, 2012 at 03:23 GMT		-3 points
	Unless I'm missing something, this quiz takes forever for the answers to register. Not worth the frustration.

	Dralcoffin:	Dec 27th, 2012 at 14:47 GMT		1 point
	Working on intermediate (50 mile circles), something strange is happening to the Pacific Northwest. Only the guessed cities show up, the counter doesn't change, and none of the surrounding cities appear.

	darinh:	Dec 28th, 2012 at 12:44 GMT		1 point
	@Dral: just tried it - worked fine in Pac NW on Intermediate, maybe try reloading? I did cities in OR, WA, ID, MT and they all worked normally.

	Dralcoffin:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 15:59 GMT		1 point
	@darinh: The problem seems to be Alaska and Hawaii. If you fill those states in completely, then move on to the Pac NW, you get the empty circles intermittently in Washington and Oregon, while other cities work fine. As well, the first few cities in those states will go through before the blank circles start showing up.
