I like the idea of this a lot, and a lot of the pictures either are fairly evident without being obvious from the start, or they become clear when the answer is revealed. But in some cases, it just seems too broad. Maybe if this was continent-by-continent it would work better for me. Otherwise it almost turns into a "guess as many cities as you can and hope one is right" type of quiz.

I agree with the above comment. The idea is good, but of all these cities the only one I actually got from the picture was Dakar. Maybe feature some more cities with widely recognizable landscapes or features (maybe San Francisco, Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Istanbul, etc.)

I will make another one will cities that are a little bit more recognizable in a few days. I did say in the description it was difficult! :)

I liked the quiz even though I only got one answer right. The palm tree shaped island was the only clue I got. Several made sense after the fact though.

Good idea but I think some of these cities are far too obscure for the average person to be able to recognise them
