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.

Proper villages: a church, a main street, a few thousand people at most. This is the tier where local knowledge starts to matter more than general geography.

In Norway this set is spread across 13 different counties, with Rogaland home to the most of them (8).

How this category is defined

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.

Tips for this category

If you have ever driven through the region, trust that memory over a guess based on the name alone.
Villages tend to sit along old roads and rivers rather than in a grid, so look for natural lines on the map.
