About this game
Data behind the answers
Values come from Wikidata and city historical records, founding and early settlement years. Data year or update: 2026-11-06. Correct guesses add to your streak. One wrong answer ends the game.
Historical founding or early settlement years are used, not the year a city became a state capital. Olympia uses its 1850 settlement date rather than its 1859 incorporation date.
