What is CityQ?

CityQ is a free daily geography game. Every morning a 3×3 grid drops with category labels along the rows and columns. 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.

It sits alongside PassportQ, , and in FlightQ's set. For the full category, browse the hub.

How to play CityQ

  1. Read the row and column labels. Each cell needs a city that fits the row category and the column category at the same time.
  2. Tap a cell and type a city. Autocomplete handles common names and alternate spellings. The grid validates as you go.
  3. Aim for obscure picks. Every correct city scores by how famous it is, so a lesser-known city that still satisfies both categories beats the obvious answer. Lower total rarity is better.
  4. Fill all nine cells. No time limit. Skip and come back. You can finish at any time.
  5. Share your grid. Copy the emoji result and post it. Same puzzle every day for everyone, so scores are directly comparable.

Frequently asked questions

How does CityQ work?

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.

How is my score calculated?

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.

How many guesses do I get?

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.

Where does the city list come from?

Every major and second-tier city in the world is fair game. The validator checks each city against the row and column categories, so obscure-but-correct answers count.

Is CityQ free?

Yes. Every daily grid is free with no account required. Premium is optional and only removes ads.
