Distance Between Cities Game

Estimate the great-circle distances between the world's far-flung cities and outposts.

Theme: Distance · Difficulty: Hard

How the practice set is built

The Distance Between Cities Game filters the curated dispatches through its matching rule and, when fewer than a full five-round set match, tops the set up from the deterministic generator. Scoring is identical across every category: pin rounds use great-circle distance, year rounds reward proximity to the founding date, and the stat dial scores how close your estimate lands.
