Show HN: City Finding Game (opens in new tab)

If you restrict the allowed countries to United States only, or play US Mode then the state is offered as a hint. However, if in other game modes the city name includes the state name then you automatically know it’s in the US which doesn’t seem balanced. And you’re right about repeated city names but they are often massively different in population, and you can get that for only a 2 second penalty.

You should get a toast notification in the bottom right saying how many miles away your guess is from the correct location. I know there's no instructions, I'll add those soon, but also let me know if the guesses weren't telling you the distance correctly.

I would love this too, but the google maps 3D api only seems to offer a blanket “labels on” or “labels off” options.

I can add this pretty easily, check back tomorrow or later tonight
