Guide

Simple choice, real facts

Every round asks for one comparison, but the underlying facts are real city data. That keeps the game fast while still teaching useful geography.

Multiple comparison modes

Population tests city scale, elevation tests terrain, age tests urban history, equator distance tests latitude, and weather tests daily climate intuition.

Streak pressure

One wrong answer ends the run, so easy-looking comparisons still carry tension once the streak is high.

Best warmup game

HigherQ works well before slower puzzles because it builds anchor facts for cities you will see again in PassportQ, CityQ, and Geo Blackjack.
