Guess the city from its landmark
Spot the City is a free city quiz built on one question: can you guess the city? 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 to play
Solo gives you three lives and four single-use wildcards: 50/50, Skip, Hint and twenty extra seconds. Easy is the same run narrowed to fifty-four cities almost everybody knows — Paris, Rome, Istanbul, Tokyo, Cairo — with the wrong answers drawn from the same fifty-four and never from a neighbouring city. 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.
Popular cities
Every city in the game has a page listing its landmarks with dates and architects, whether or not a photograph exists for each one.

Browse by architectural style
The same landmarks sorted by what they are rather than where they are. The style attributed to each one comes from Wikidata; a building can honestly carry two, and several here do.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes, completely. No account, no subscription, no advertising and nothing to install. It runs in the browser on a phone or a laptop.
How is this different from GeoGuessr?
GeoGuessr drops you into a street view and asks where you are. Spot the City shows you one photograph of one named landmark and asks which of four cities it stands in. It is a shorter question, it needs no account, and a round takes seconds rather than minutes.
How many landmarks are there?
791 playable landmarks across 150 cities in 99 countries. Solo draws from all of them; Easy draws from the fifty-four best-known cities.
What is the daily challenge?
Five landmarks, the same five for everyone, changing at midnight. The result comes out as a grid of squares you can paste into a chat without spoiling the answers.
Can I play with someone else?
Duo is a pass-and-play round for two people sharing one device, with each player’s turn colour-coded on the board. There is also a worldwide leaderboard for Solo and Easy, weekly and all-time.
Where do the photographs come from?
Wikimedia Commons, under the licence each photographer chose, and every one is credited on the image credits page. Landmarks with no freely licensed photograph are listed by name on their city page rather than invented around.
Where the answers come from
Every date, architect and description is taken from Wikidata and the English Wikipedia rather than written from memory. Nothing on the landmark pages is generated prose about a building nobody checked.
