Guess the neighbourhood
One of Barcelona’s 73 neighbourhoods, from its outline alone. Guess as many times as you like.
How to play
- Look at the outline. North is up and it isn’t rotated.
- Type the name of a neighbourhood and pick it from the list.
- Each guess shows the distance between the centres of both neighbourhoods, which way the answer is, and a proximity score.
- From the third guess on, you can ask for the district as a hint.
- There’s no guess limit. If you haven’t found it after 10 guesses, you can show the solution. A new neighbourhood arrives at midnight, Barcelona time.
- Straight-line distance between the centres of the neighbourhoods.
- Which way the answer is from the neighbourhood you tried.
- Proximity: 100% is the answer; 0% is the other end of the city.
- Black fill: you got it.
