Spot the City

A city geography game

A photograph.
Four cities.
One answer.

Every question is a real landmark, photographed where it stands. Read the stone, the roofline and the light, then name the city it belongs to.

The landmark recognition quiz

Spot the City is a free geography game built on one question: which city is this? A photograph of a real landmark appears, four city names below it, and you read the architecture before committing. No signup, no paywall, no advertising — 791 landmarks across 150 cities and 99 countries.

How the game works

Classic gives you three lives, a streak counter and four single-use wildcards: 50/50, Skip, Hint and twenty extra seconds. Daily is five landmarks, the same five for every player that day, with a result you can paste into a chat. Learn removes the clock and the lives so you can read instead of race. Duo is a pass-and-play round for two people on one device.

Where the answers come from

Every date, architect and description is taken from Wikidata and the English Wikipedia rather than written from memory, and every photograph is credited to the person who took it under the licence they chose. Landmarks with no freely licensed photograph are listed by name on their city page instead of being invented around.

How to play

How to play

1

Read the photograph

Every image is a real landmark, shot where it stands. The stone, the roofline, the plants and the light are all evidence.

2

One of the four is nearby

Three wrong cities are offered: one close to the right answer, two far away. Recognising the region narrows it, but never settles it.

3

Twenty seconds, four wildcards

50/50 removes two wrong answers, Skip costs no life, Hint reads you a clue, and +20s buys time. One use of each per game.

4

Then read the answer

Every landmark comes with its date, its architect and a short description — all of it sourced, none of it invented.
