How to play
You see one city and a number: its population, median home value, January or July high, yearly snowfall, rent, household income, commute or elevation. Guess whether the second city's number is higher or lower. Each right answer adds a point and the second city becomes the first. One wrong answer ends the run.
Cities come from the 320 largest places on Cities Online, so most will be familiar. Your best score is saved in this browser.
