CityQ is a free daily 3×3 city grid game. You get nine guesses and no timer; every answer must fit its row and column clues at the same time.
For example, a practice cell crossing coastal city with national capital needs one city that is both. Correct lesser-known cities receive lower rarity scores, and lower is better.
Your job is to put a city in each cell that satisfies both its row and its column, and the rarer your correct picks the better you score.
CityQ sits alongside PassportQ, Chain, and HigherQ in FlightQ's city games set. For the full category, browse the daily geography games hub.
Each day CityQ generates a 3×3 grid where every row and every column is a category like "Coastal city" or "FIFA World Cup host". You drop a city into each cell that satisfies both the row and the column it sits in.
Lower is better. Each correct cell scores the city's fame. Pick a famous city and you score high (bad); pick an obscure city that still satisfies both categories and you score low (good). Your total rarity is the sum across all nine cells.
Nine, one per cell. There is no time limit and you can skip cells and come back. You finish the puzzle when every cell is filled or you tap done.
