Posted June 3, 20232 yr Hi there, I am a big fan of geography and I make small map based quiz games as a hobby. And I made two games about Ohio. So I felt the urge to share these with someone: Major cities of Ohio: https://geographyquiz.app/quiz/usa-ohio-cities/252 Counties of Ohio: https://geographyquiz.app/quiz/usa-ohio-counties/245 In the cities quiz I skipped Parma and Kettering due to the close proximity to Cleveland and Dayton. Sorry for that. If you think I missed a very important city, please tell me. Due to the large amount of counties in Ohio I added difficulty levels. I hope you are ok with my post in this community. Have fun! 🙂

Have fun! 🙂 Well that was fun. 17/17 on cities, but I’d knew that would be easy for me. The county quiz was the more interesting challenge. Embarrassed that I blanked on Cincy county and went too fast answering on Stark and missed it the first time, but otherwise I think I did well. 33/42 on the first pass, plus 4 more on second/third attempts. Who can beat me? (Without cheating, obvi) And this thing didn’t include a bunch of counties that a definitely would have gotten right (and many others I would have had no chance on. Who knows where Vinton county is, ha.) When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
June 3, 20232 yr Anybody remember doing this in 7th grade Ohio History class? We had to memorize counties and their seats, around 15 at a time. The teacher split up the state into regions.

I only got 16/17 on the cities, but that was because I didn't immediately grasp what was going on, and was trying to click on Cleveland thinking it would ask me when I clicked, when I it was telling me at the bottom to click on Cincinnati, which I didn't see. I need to learn my counties though, I was only about 50% on that.

But then again, I've been photographing this state for like 20+ years so I'd better get it right!

June 4, 20232 yr 17/17, and 35/42. Great game for a dork on a Saturday night! But I played with a vodka tonic, so I'm kinda cool 😎 😅! Thanks for sharing!
June 4, 20232 yr Also 17/17 and 35/42. Several NE Ohio counties took more than one try. I might have been able to get most everything south of I-70, but NW Ohio would probably be mostly red.
June 5, 20232 yr Ha, that was fun. I missed Hamilton on the cities quiz, so 16/17. I got a pretty meager 28/42 on the counties. And I might add, by flashing the name, my incorrect guesses aided me on my future unknown counties. But I tried to pick my honest guess regardless 😄 And welcome to the site! Edited June 5, 20232 yr by PrestoKinetic
June 5, 20232 yr Has no one turned up the difficulty to do all 88 counties at once? I failed utterly at it outside of the I-71 corridor and the major cities.

Per Google, there are 3033 counties in the United States. I'm skeptical that anyone has memorized all of them.
June 5, 20232 yr Kentucky has an enormous amount of counties. And it's not like Ohio where the counties only vary in size by like. 10%.

I think Ohio's biggest county in land area is Ashtabula at just over 700 square miles and Lake is smallest at around 250.
June 5, 20232 yr ^yes, Lake is the smallest, but it's only either 227 or 232 sq. mi. according to online info 🥴 but also remember it was carved out of Geauga county, as I recall. Edited June 5, 20232 yr by eastvillagedon http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
June 5, 20232 yr And it is over 900 when you include what's underwater. But Ashtabula swells to over 1300 when you include water.
June 5, 20232 yr 16/17 on the cities. Didn’t even try the counties. Lived in Cleveland for 12 years and it still feels like every few months I learn of an Ohio county that I didn’t even know existed, let alone where it is! If it’s not in NEO I’ve almost no idea. My hovercraft is full of eels

June 6, 20232 yr 100% on both, but I make so many maps for the state at this point that I would be embarrassed if I didn't get that score.

June 22, 20231 yr Author Hi there, I do not let you off the hook yet. At least those connected to Cincinnati. I made one more quiz about the neighborhoods of Cincinnati: https://geographyquiz.app/quiz/usa-cincinnati-neighborhoods/259
June 22, 20231 yr Got 51/53 on that one. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

June 22, 20231 yr 17/18 on the "easy mode" counties quiz. I missed Holmes (put it where Ashland should be) on the first try, got it on the 2nd. 17/17 on cities. 27/28 on difficulty 2 counties quiz (after doing the easy mode one so this time I knew Ashland and Holmes). Mixed up Morrow and Marion this time as the center counties came in. Going up to difficulty 3 and things start to fall apart (guess where I basically never go in this state): And it would have been worse if the game didn't flash the name of the wrong guesses so I could memorize them for later (I got Clarke, Clinton, and Clermont later only after making wrong guesses about them earlier for Miami, Fayette, Greene, and Preble).

I probably used to know most of these at one time, I guess that's what I get for moving out of the area 20 years ago. Not having major roads or highways made this WAY harder.
March 14Mar 14 Author Old thread, but I just made a new quiz. This time about the neighborhoods of Cleveland: https://geographyquiz.app/quiz/usa-cleveland-neighborhoods/411

Only a couple neighborhoods took me more than two guesses, and I didn’t completely whiff any. (And only one where I was thinking “I’ve never heard it called that.”) A different order would have saved me on which Collinwood is which.
