A quick look at the 687 small villages you can be asked to find on the map, before you play.
GuessTheDot is a free geography guessing game: you get a place name and a map full of dots, then click the one you think is right.
The hardest tier: places small enough that even many locals would need a map. This is where the best players separate themselves from everyone else.
In Canada this set is spread across 12 different provinces, with Quebec home to the most of them (181).
Place kinds on GuessTheDot are a practical grouping by population and place type for gameplay, not a legal or historical designation. A place can hold official city rights (or an old city charter) and still show up here as a village if it stayed small, and the other way around: this is a rough size ladder for guessing, not a statement about a place's official status.
Only the 250 biggest fit on this page. The game still picks from all 687.
