A friend played City Angle and dares you to beat them on the exact same 5 cities.
How to play
Each round, cities are shown around a circle. Each one sits at its true compass bearing from a hidden answer city. Name the city in the middle.
7 tries per round — each wrong guess turns into a new hint on the diagram (the city you just guessed appears with its arrow, in red), but the next reward drops:
- Try 1 · 5 cities · 2500 pts
- Try 2 · 6 cities · 2125 pts
- Try 3 · 7 cities · 1750 pts
- Try 4 · 8 cities · 1375 pts
- Try 5 · 8 cities · 1000 pts
- Try 6 · 8 cities · 625 pts
- Try 7 · 8 cities · 250 pts
Bonuses
- Speed bonus — answer within 20 seconds for up to +500 pts (faster = more).
- Streak bonus — grows with each consecutive first-try win: +250 / +500 / +750 / +1000 … A streak resets on a wrong guess, skip, or any non-first-try win.
Tip: native spellings work too — "Köln", "München", "Saigon", "Bombay", "Peking" … all match.

Sphere — the hardest mode
Every other mode points its arrows the way a flat world map does — the direction your eyes expect. Sphere mode points them along the true shortest path over the round Earth, the route planes actually fly.
Over long distances the two disagree wildly: from New York, the shortest path to Tokyo starts out heading almost due north over the Arctic — not west across the Pacific. Your flat-map intuition will actively lie to you on nearly every arrow.
Really, really difficult — so it pays the most: 3,000 pts for a first-try win.
What is City Angle – The Game To Test Your Map Knowledge
This game is harder than it looks. Your task is to map out the correct city based on the angles it has in common with other cities. The quicker you are, the more points you gain. City Angles tests how well you know geography and how well you know world maps.
You can challenge your friends to beat your score on the 5 exact same cities. You can then compare your results. And share your results if you have a great round.
